My main issue w/ the first 2 episodeshas been the point of starting, as well as the discontinuity in the storyline. Had they started @, say, Krishna returning to Dwaraka and war being declared by Jarasandha, it would have made sense. Tonight's precap - of Jarasandha assuring his widowed daughters that he'd kill Krishna - would have made more sense as a serial opener. Also, they could have captured some initial excitement over the first week by starting w/ the war, and showing fighting b/w Krishna's & Jarasandha's armies. Also, it was during this time that Krishna & Balaram received their divyastras - that too would have made a good episode. People seeing it wouldn't have gone 'Kalyavan who?'

The other main issue is - do they have the story straight? The Kalyavan episode happened before Krishna had moved his population to Dwaraka. After the event, Krishna had gathered his people and after convincing them, took them all to Dwaraka, where they were isolated, and thereby secure. Pity that that's not been shown so far.

The actors have been good so far, except that Hemant is not angry enough to be Balaram. He would have done better as Bhima, and Balaram should have been someone else, like Praphulla Pandey.

More comments after tonights and the next 2 episodes.

agree ..
i was just wondering y dint they are showing the stories in detail
who was that old man ?? they dint show how he got the boon and y sleeping from ages
and in last episode , Balram is already married ! there was no use of showing the details how and when he got married ?
Sagars are assuming that ppl know about Krishna and Balrama life then what's the use of making it ..

That old man was Raja Muchukand, who fought for the gods long ago and got the boon that anyone who wakes up from sleep will be destroyed. It was shown in details in RS SK. DBSS omitted all these details about Raja Muchukand. For ref, here are some links from SK.

I understand that the producers of this serial ain't making claims as to the authenticity. However, I still find their deviation from the original story jarring, to say the least. I don't mind them introducing stories of their own, such as the one about the old woman who got her son cured by Krishna. However, I do mind when they make history-altering changes, as I describe below.

If showing Kalyavan attacking Dwaraka was a howler, Friday's episode showing Rukmi first intercept Rukmini's messenger, and then seize power from his father was downright fabricated. Rukmi was alone among Krishna's enemies whose relationship w/ him went on to improve: others, like Jarasandha, Sishupala, Dantavakra, Shalva, Purandara Vasudeva, Narakasura and others remained enemies of Krishna, and went on to be killed by him or his allies.

Rukmi, otoh, was among the warriors who prior to the Kurukshetra war, first volunteered his services to Arjun, and after being declined, volunteered it to Duryodhan, both of whom refused 😕 He therefore returned to his capital Bhojakata, which he founded since he couldn't return to Kundinapuri since he couldn't recover Rukmini.

But given the crimes he's now been shown to commit - killing a messenger, ill-treat his sister, imprison his parents, looks like he could get killed by either Krishna or Balaram or one of their allies.

I really wish they didn't go this route w/ Rukmi. It's disappointing, given that many don't know the story of Krishna's life in Mathura & Dwaraka the way they do his childhood in Gokul & Vrindavan.

Hopefully, the producers wont distort the historical aspect of the show as they go further.
