Dwarakadheesh, can never loose it's charm because original Dwarakadheesh lives in our heart, since years. Through this show they are trying to show some incidents of his life & his messages in their capcity. Whenever I watch an episode, it's for Krishna & people connected with him at that time. This is a much better show then some other shows which are going on currently.
Regarding Vishal's romance, you need to see a fiction show with him as the lead.😃
I agree. As it is, I'm usually attracted to mytho shows, but for Krishna, I tend to not bother w/ the ones that focus on his childhood - not so keen on the makhan chor & seranading the gopis. But this serial fascinated me b'cos it promised to focus on his adult life, which was much more than just being Arjun's sarathi. After all, Krishna was no less a warrior than Rama, and destroyed so many tyrants - Kansa, Sishupala, Dantavatra, Vidurath (incidentally, that was the other guy I couldn't place when he was there as a part of Sishupala's baraath), Paundrak, Sudakshina, Shalva and Narakasura. I like mytho wars, but was disapponted that they skipped or downplayed so many of these.
Yeah, there are a lot of areas where they could use improvement. I think they have been - the Narakasura tracks were remarkably close to what happened (except the Satyabhama haran), although I share the mood of the crowd regarding Rukmini's disappearance.
One thing I hope/d for - that this serial would borrow from SB, DB and MB, and blend them into a single story. Sometimes, there are differences b/w these texts, but since Vyasa supposedly wrote all 3 or 2 of them, for me, it's not a one text trumps all, the way I normally do w/ Ramayan, where nothing trumps Valmiki. Another thing - I don't want to see the serial morph into the Mahabharata at any point - both MB and SB/DB are important to me,and I want to see it combined. Some ways they could do it - show Abhimanyu and Draupadi's sons being raised by Subhadra and Rukmini in Dwarka, show Krishna & Satyabhama visit Draupadi, show Arjun in company of Satyaki & Pradhyumna during the Indraprastha era, etc. Stuff that doesn't make it look as empty as it's been.
