Missed Thursday's ep. 😔

Friday they showed a poor girl, whose parents are blind, She is the only earning member of the family. She is a great devotee of Krishna. Everytime, she first offers her food to Krishna and then only takes it. Krishna loves her sincerity. But she faces difficulties in her workplace.



- This is the shortest summary, I guess 😆.

A fictional track, till now. May be a short filler, before the beginning of the next track.

Monday - Same story is continued... The hardships of the girl, exaggerated characterization of the '-ve' characters... Krishna gives a narration about 'doing our duty selflessly' and some other moral teachings.


- Nothing to comment.

The new track, which started abruptly last Thursday, featured Jambavati going on a tour in her palanquin, and seeing the distressed conditions in which people lived 🤢 (itself a major howler). During that journey, her procession accidentally bumped into a girl who was carrying firewood she had gathered, knocking them off her. Jambavati apologized to her on behalf of her men, and helped get those sticks back on her head. She found out that Lata's parents were blind, which is why she was a child laborer. Later back @ Krishna's place, they turned on Lata's channel.

To summarize events upto now, Lata worked in the home of a merchant who himself was quite virtuous, but ineffective, and his wife & daughter were tyrants. The wife would beat Lata w/ a cane, and the daughter would ransack the kitchen, or soil the newly washed clothes, and then point that out to her mom, and gloat while Lata got punished 😡

In Tuesday's episode, Lata is finally done by evening, but the daughter soils all the laundry, and she's forced to work there until night. While going home, she is frightened, and so Krishna appears b4 her and convinces her not to be fearful. She gets home, cooks for her parents and fills their palm leafs, but has nothing for herself. However, she lies and tells them that she's eaten well. Her mother, suspecting her, sends her to fetch water, and then feels her plate, and finds nothing there. That was where it ends.

The track being fiction, one has no comments on it as such, except that
  • In Krishna's Dwarka, everybody was prosperous and self-sufficient, which is what led to their arrogance and fratricide later on. Jambavati probably was doing a tour of the kingdom itself rather than others, and so to show the denizens of Dwarka living in pitiable conditions shows that the serial has no idea about how Krishna managed the kingdom
  • The girl in this story is a mahaan right out of the saas bahu soaps - takes all sorts of abuse from her overlords, and lies about it to her parents. However, her mother seems on to something. That said, the abuse they're showing her masters do is incredible: in the real Dwarka, there is no way it would have been tolerated
  • Krishna's character - this serial makes him look like the ultimate sadist - just watching the abuse of Lata and passing commentary. Only thing he does for her is make her bhog offerings disappear. The same tired track they did w/ Sudama, after butchering the character, is now being done w/ a fictitious girl. If Krishna thinks that the malkin's family is corrupt, why doesn't he use his magic in fouling up some things for her and her daughter. And the malkin is so unbelievably obese, and always eating.
  • Rukmini & Pradhyumna are gone again. So is Satyabhama.
Honestly, each track - except the Pradhyumna track - is worse than the previous.

Satyabhama is absent because the actress is giving her exams. I don't know why Rukmini is not present. I don't think she spends all her time in her room crying about Prdayumn. The PH doesn't know what to show thats why they are showing new stories. I think some "creative members"want their ideas to be shown on TV thats why they are showing these fictional stories.
For now I did not watch DBSK for a week and I will not watch it this week either.

Urvashi can well quit this show and audition in another once her exams are over - she doesn't really have much of a role left. The new Rukmini was pathetic - instead of a gentle, affectionate wife, she came off as really hostile. The serial is a revolving door for the characters in question - and the stories shown are pathetic.

I watch Gyan Guru, so I happen to follow that up w/ DBSK, but for the first 20 minutes, I mainly watch DkDM and switch b/w channels. After 20 minutes, when DkDM is over, I watch the last 10. But yeah, if one wasn't hooked on this serial, there's no reason to watch it.

Today's episode, very briefly - the mother finds out that Lata's plate is empty, and forces her to share her food. They then sleep, and next morning, the blind mom wakes up early and goes looking for work. She tries showing her ability in a house whose members are just as sadistic as Lata's mistresses and take advantage of her blindness b4 driving her away. All the while, Krishna & Jambavati are just watching. 😕

I was just wondering how much enthusiasm would the creative writers of the serial be having if they are taking the trouble of inventing new stories when Vyasa has left behind perfectly good ones. 😆

^^^^ Not only that, if they wanted to just show episodic events, they could show stories like Krishna & Narada (there are many authentic ones), Krishna & Arjun (same here), and so on. But real problem here is that they have no idea of the psyche of people of that era and locale.

I feel the serial should end, as it is giving people a WRONG IMPRESSION about Devotion and preaching completely WRONG PHILOSOPHIES...

'Inability' or rather, 'absence of true knowledge' (on the part of the creatives) are making a complete mess of DBSK.

Debi

Exactly what I said here - I called on Imagine TV to do what Colors did to JSK

In case anybody is still watching, has the serial moved on to a new story or is Lata still getting abused?
