There was, but then it sank into oblivion and got locked... just reopened it, enjoy: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/45063489

Thanks.
Also, is there a thread where RS SK is discussed? I caught it on Star Utsav last night (the episode where Shakuni gets killed) and was wanting to discuss some of the licenses RS took there.

Ok, thanks, I'll wait.
I'm currently in India and watching Star Utsav, and there, it's right now on day 18 of the war. Some things I saw surprised me - they saw Dushashan getting killed after Karna & Shakuni, and Shakuni getting killed by Nakul, not Sahadev. So was wanting to discuss some of the liberties taken w/ the story, particularly the out of sequence battles.
Can discuss that in any thread that's appropriate.

I have 2 questions. In RSK, did they show Krishna's marriages to Kalindhi, Bhadra, Mitravindya, Satya & Lakshmanaa, or did they gloss over it just like they did in DBSK? Also, in that serial, what was the first occasion when Krishna met the Pandavas - Draupadi's swayamvar? Or did he go to Hastinapur when the Pandavas were in Ekachakra?

Dunno of the marriages since I am rather irregular with this serial, but Krishna met Pandavas in Draupadi's Swayamvar in RS Krishna. I watched that episode.😊

BTW, has anyone watched Peter Brook's Mahabharata?? Its different in many ways from the popular version of the stories that we are used to and perhaps that's why too many Indians do not like it, but I found it brilliant in terms of acting, presentation and script. Bruce Myers is my favourite Krishna along with Nitish Bharadwaj.😳

No they did not show the weddings either

Not sure on the second one but I think Draumpadi's Swamvar was the occasion

I watched it. I rented a DVD, which was pretty poor quality, and the video store didn't have a second that I could use, so that the last part of it - the killing of Karna and beyond - I couldn't see.

Anyway, I saw it, and Peter Brooke, like BRC, took too many liberties w/ this serial by giving it all some bizzaro meanings, which nobody could imagine coming from the likes of Vyasa. For instance, the people in the Mahabharat were not ancestors to the rest of mankind, as the movie seemed to suggest, particularly @ the end when the showed the kid who heard the story from Ganesh & Vyasa bowing to Uttara as his ancestress.

Also, the movie made a mess of certain things, like showing Ghatotkacha killed on day 1 of the war, which totally robbed it of its meaning. Abhimanyu's killing in this movie reminded me of the killing of Petrocleus by Hector in the movie Troy.

I didn't like the movie for those reasons. But I don't share some of the criticisms that were directed @ it, such as Kunti, Madri & Karna being black. Incidentally, Mallika Sarabhai looked totally out of place in this movie, given its Western cast.

I guess the boy was Parikshit..Isn't it? Though it was never mentioned explicitly..

Actually I don't have much problem with altering stories (because that's what everyone has done across all ages), but I normally look for genuine and subtle acting, soulfulness and more importantly understanding the characters. In all these criteria Peter Brook lived up to my expectations. I thought Mallika Sarabhai was great as Draupadi. BRC was undoubtedly brilliant and legendary, but Peter Brook too is no less albeit in different way. But Ghatotkatch was not killed on day 1. He was killed much later - on day 10 possibly, but yeah, before Abhimanyu - contrary to what we know.

Unfortunately in other Indian mytho shows they put too much effort in glorifying the central character and in the process they make a mess out of that character and the show becomes pretty dumb and annoying with horrible OTT acting and unnecessary melodrama. That's what happened with RS Krishna.
