There is lot to be shown. Everything depends on their writers. DKDM used to cover some lesser known, hidden aspect of certain tracks. Initially a lot was left for viewer's to understand. That was the most wonderful phase. Later they started preaching, which was quite dry.
Let's see what Swastik production does with the story.
They can show, Sati visiting Daksh's yagya, as she appeared as 10 Mahavidyas. She turned dark with anger. Mahakaali was the first form here.
Hope writers are well versed with all aspects of this amazing form.
In DSS, Pratham charitra is dedicated to MahaKaali, where she is Mahamaya.
Madhyam charitra, killing Mahishasur is of MahaLakshmi.
Uttam charitra, where Shumbh. Nishumbh, Raktabeeja etc are killed is of MahaSaraswati. Here these Goddesses appear as Pure Shakti, to kill Asuras.

If Utkarsh Nathani is on the board of Creative writers, there is very little hope left for me to look forward to the show and the charecterisation.He can be considered as ' master of distortions" as far as the authenticity of the story is concerned.Surya Putr Karn stands as an example for Utkarsh's disrespect towards great Epics in general and Ved Vyas in particular.

Apart from that Swastik productions are left with very little stories that are untouched or unexplored by Devon Ka Dev team. Even though it is about Mahadev,the show presented many important anecdotes of Sakti's mahima also. Arunasur,Durgamasur,Mahishasur ,Raktabeej,...the way she killed these demons became a part of Mahadev and they did their job well.

Parvati learning all aspects of Yog Vidya also was showcased in a wonderful manner. Ofcourse their Sati. Story will remain forever in the hearts of connoisseurs for the great interpretation they gave to Universe's first love story ever.

With Mahabharat SIDT showed how he in association with Dev Dutt Patnaik and Utkarsh can show his own MBH by changing the facts. What saved his show was his most talented and very aptly selected actors who almost overshadowed BR's actors. Today Saurabh Raj Jain only comes into my mind when I think of Krishna, Similarly Shaheer is my Arjun. Puja Sharma excelled as Draupadi. Aham ,and others also fitted the roles perfectly.

SIDT then proved how unconcerned he is towards viewers who hold the Epics as the treasure of India. His Surya Putra Karn crossed every limit to establish the lead ch. as the best and in that process he became a laughing stock of sorts.

Now he opted to show Mahakali ,who is the presiding deity for people all over India. And he again gave the pen power to Utkarsh. What is going to be shown in the name of creativity I can very well guess. In all this my favourite actress Puja's reputation is at stake. God save her.

Another thing that troubled me so much is Saurabh playing the role of Mahadev. I strongly feel he can not look like Shiv. He is tailor made for Vishnu and Krishna because both are Satva gun prathan. A certain softness and charm is associated with Krishna and Saurabh possessed that.

Mahadev is different. He is serious in his appearance with great looks and personality.Mohit Raina personified Siva. I can't imagine any one else in his place. Puja will look great as Kali but Saurabh? Naa...he is not Siva for me.

Sorry for this long list of apprehensions regarding the show. This is purely my personal view.

Can anyone who has info about writers of the show, share here. Need to know it. 😆

I guess Saurabh will work hard for Mahadev look & portrayal. He'll be doing Tandav too.

A bang on post.

Utkarsh Naithani should leave writing mythos and start to write those saas bahu serials.

He can make a saas bahu serial out of mythologies.

@BOLD:

Probably Sid T is out of his mind that he casted Saurabh Raj Jain as Lord Shiva.

Well, Saurabh Raj Jain is one of the finest actors of his time and I'm his big admirer (not blind fan) .

But no offence to his fans, SRJ lacks the intensity to play Lord Shiva on screen.

Not that I am saying that the same actor can't play both Shiva and Vishnu, but Saurabh simply lacks the intensity and personality needed for the role of Lord Shiva.

In fact, I've seen Saurabh 'S performance in the latest promo, and needless to say I'm dissapointed.

I am not expecting Mohit Raina level performance from him(or anyone playing Lord Shiva if it's not Mohit himself) but at least show some passion.

In fact, when he was staring at Pooja 'S Mahakali to calm her down, he was so flat.

I expected a lot from SRJ in this regard as he played Vishnu /Krishna for many years and Vishnu /Krishna is known for being the pacifier .

But his performance left no impact on me.

Also, his bearded look is turning off me.

Never seen a bearded Lord Shiva in any TV serial or movie or even calender art(well my knowledge is limited, and I had to google by typing "bearded Lord Krishna" To get supporting images to back What Sid T is showing).

Plus SRJ doesn't look that good with that beard and it would've been better if SRJ opted for a clean shaven look.

But the biggest challenge that SRJ might face isn't actually Comparison with Mohit Raina.

It is him being violently typecasted as Lord Vishnu /Krishna

He has been playing this role from long ago and in so many serials that a lot of people have started thinking that Lord Krishna/Vishnu looks like Saurabh Raj Jain.

In fact, SRJ 'S Telugu movie where he played Lord Venkateswara(avatar of Krishna )was a big hit down South.

And as far as I know,the south Indian market contributes a big percentage of trps to these Mytho/Histo/Supernatural shows.

Naagin became a big hit because it connected with the south Indian crowd.

Also looking at the time slot and all, it looks like this show is targeted towards small town women.

But what's pathetically humorous is that many of the target audience of this show will find it hard to relate to a face whom they have been visualising as Lord Vishnu /Krishna for all these years as Lord Shiva.

And that too bearded😆

I'm reiterating it all over here again-there is absolutely no problem in the same guy playing the role of Lord Vishnu/Krishna and Lord Shiva ,provided he is capable .

But Sid T birthed an casting abomination by casting a guy whose face has been synonymous with Lord Krishna/Vishnu over the last few years as Lord Shiva.

Plus from the promo itself, it's evident that Saurabh Raj Jain is not capable of Playing Lord Shiva.

Nor he is able to prove that he's better than Mohit Raina in being Mahadev neither he is being able to bowl people over that he can play Lord Shiva in the same conviction he played Lord Vishnu /Krishna.

I'll be waiting to see his performance in the serial itself, but Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva completely have contrasting personalities. Plus SRJ is having difficulties to come out of his Krishna Image and slip completely into the skin of Mahadev.

And his performance is going nowhere as he's too conscious to avoid his stereotyped Krishna overtones but can't display the nuances of Shiva too.

The only way Sid T can save this show is to not show Mahadev too much and restrict SRJ 'S appearances to a side actor to Pooja 'S Parvati only.

She's one phenomenal performer and the reason of me watching this show.

Mahakaali is not added in list of shows Utkarsh had written till now. Karna, Shani are in the list. Hope they have better writers, who'll do justice to the story & script.

So there will be comparison between Mahadev played by Mohit Raina & SRJ.

& comparison between SRJ as- Krishna/Vishnu & Mahadev.

Yeah I have searched it up

When Sati died and Shiva returned to his hermit life, he's usually shown as bearded.

But the events of Mahakali seems to be set a long after that.

Pooja will be simultaneously playing the role of maa kali and

Parvati.

In this period of time, Shiva is usually depicted clean shaven.

Also, as seen in the clips released in Saas Bahu aur Saazish , parvati is seen asking Lord Shiva to protect the world from demons while Shiva asks her to deal with them on her own🤪

While in the actual story, when Chanda and Munda, two lesser Asuras in the service of Sumbha, encountered the Devi, and were overwhelmed by her beauty. They carried reports of this goddess to Sumbha, who sought to possess the Devi and her beauty. Sumbha sent the demon Sugriva to court the Devi, but she rejected his advances. It was then decided by the demonic brothers that if the Devi would not come willingly, they would have to abduct her. The demon Dhoomralocana and his retinue of sixty-thousand Asuras were sent to kidnap the Devi, but she and her lion-steed managed to slay the entire army. Next, Chanda and Munda were deployed, but the Devi destroyed them as well.^[2]

Also, in the promo itself, they say that Parvati transformed herself into Mahakali to save the world.

That was really not the case.

She did save the world, but first and foremost she did was to save herself.

Also, Shiva really had no role in all this.

He only appears in the last stage of the battle

Shiva, fearing that Kali would not stop until she destroyed the world, could only think of one way to pacify her. He lay down on the battlefield so that she would have to step on him. Seeing her consort under her foot, Kali realized that she had gone too far, and calmed down. In some interpretations of the story, Shiva was attempting to receive Kali's grace by receiving her foot on his chest.

But in this show, the producers giving him more limelight than he should've got.

Not only that, he's gonna perform a tandav also.

And all these clips and news related to this show shows the blatant lack of research on the part of the PH.

I know Sid Tewary and his version of Mythologies very well, but Mahakali seems to be his best work as of yet(sarcasm intended)

In fact,they might also include unnecessary romance between Shiva and Parvati coz Jodis are popular.

I have no hope from this serial .

I feel sad for Pooja sometimes.

Colors has a habit of diluting whatever topic they touch, and in the end, it becomes offensive and the artists get dissed.

Seeing what happened after Mohit Raina played Ashoka, one can safely assume Pooja's future after Mahakali.
