ha ha ... good point!!!

And still my heart wants to see Satybhama

Revati? It would have been amazing and funny to watch Balram hitting revati with his plough but i guess they will take different route here.

Frankly speaking I was fed up with this so called prem of Radha Krishna, it's high time we should see other plots too.

I did not understand why people who were offended over Vallabh gopika eloping needed to be immediately corrected in the name of love. Arre leave some space for different opinions and povs. I completely understand those who had a problem with it. Talking about Balram, he asked Vallabh about the subject but Vallabh lied to him, not just lied he thought ballu was someone who can be easily fooled 👎👎 next they disappeared the news of eloping came in.... So what should be the natural reaction of a person in such situation...

Its not necessary for everyone to start dancing with euphoria the moment 'love' is uttered.

Also, its so offensive that every new and old character directly or indirectly implies that ballu is stupid 👡 👠👞 its clear what the creatives want us to feel about him. Even though few of us never felt so, but they don't leave any chance to imply that he is stupid 👠👞👡

They didn't let lord brahma utter do two words of praise for Balram today 😂 ye dono gaye the lord brahma ke pass, baatein chal rahi thi aaram se, beech ne narayan kahan se tapak gaye without brahma asking for his intervention 😂😂😂 thats not how it works between gods 😂 there is always a code of conduct.

Matlab kahin galti se bhi dusro ki muh se taarif na nikal jaye.

I m not sure about the seshnaag look. Cloth was very jhakmak type. And lakshman's forehead band was there, which we mostly see in prince looks. The teeka suited him imo.

Btw jahan bhi dekho lakshman ki jewellery dikh rahi hai 😂 pralambasur is wearing his kamar bandh, murtikaar bana tha toh uska necklace pehne ghum raha tha 😒 aaj kukudmi ne uska mukut pehen liya which i liked on lakshman 😍

@bold and surprisingly I just want that to happen but who knows what CVs will do with that. I am actually keeping my hopes low for that. But man do I want that so badly. I am praying and hoping to get that once. Again sorry to Radha but I do not want her to be a part of this possibility of a bro moment. She already sort of cursed the asur so she did her part. When it comes to KaRam I only want KaRam Radha can be involved in something but not as much.

You can see I enjoy Bromances over romances 😆It is so rare to see great sibling relationships on Indian TV since they are so heavily sidelined

@underline I totally agree with this.👍🏼There was a show recently that started off with a great complex character and storyline but was changed into the typical stupid story line with an overbearing main actor and a super mahaan and crybaby lead actress and the show shut down real fast. But in general yes those are those fairy tale story lines with very common character outlines that the TRP audiences love.😔 It is the online audiences that enjoy the complexity and layered shows. 😃Indian TV does not realize the fine line between black and white characters. 🤔And grey characters are only loved if they are played by a somewhat well-known actor/actress. There is just so much that can be talked about for complex characters and why they are rare in Indian TV but I will stop myself right now 😆

@blue Basant can do great with his potential so far he has done great. It truly depends what CVs give to him to do. I do not want this track to be laughed off as Balram just being a comic character. I too hope another production picks him up.

Low key want all the actors especially Sumedh, Basant, and Mallika to get a completely different show after this. I do not want them to be type casted especially with Mallika since this is her first show. They all can do great outside of playing gods and goddesses. Even if the audience loves them in this kind of role they should be allowed to explore other characters. I also need a mental break from Swastik messing up religious stories.🤢

Sorry my post is all over the place 😆

Today kans and pralambasur hatched some plan about the wrestling match. I was skipping and watching so didn't get the whole thing. That pralambasur is really living more than expected now 😯

Oh she will definitely be there in some capacity 😣😣 ye wo hai jisko nagal sakte hai, na ugal sakte hai

Even when she has zero contribution into something according to real story, she will be shoehorned into it at other's expense by cvs.

Why do trp audiences like to watch same thing with two good looking ppl falling in love, getting married, having children and trashing villains over and over again 😕 i dont understand this mentality.

Well you pay attention to insta comments you will see bimbos adding '😂😂😂😂' emojis after they take name of kanha's dau, as if he's the default comedian 😠 mann toh karta hai shatak se lagau

And day after day cvs are getting more brazen about their disrespect towards the character. I think the more this show will strech, it will do harm to bb. He has performed tremendously well and deserves return for his hardwork, instead of the performance getting respect he is getting dumb ppl laughing

I like that they did actually show a Sheshnaag-Jyotishmati backstory to Balram-Revati; although it was a mixture of the mythological stories about Revati and her previous birth as Jyotishmati, at least what they showed was reasonable and made some sense in terms of the RK show setup of still having Balram in Vrindavan rather than in Dwaraka when he meets Revati. It appears that at least one of the writers has learnt a new skill to some extent - writing things that actually make some sense! (Baby steps, baby steps!) And this will hopefully give those poor souls who think that everything shown in the RK show is actually true (!) SOME understanding of the revered characters of Shri Balram and Devi Revati, rather than them just getting excited about the Balram character getting a "girlfriend" in the show!

Being one story where the protagonists, Balram and Revati, are already actually destined to be together, I an NOT looking forward to seeing how RK's Radha and Krishna - who have been soooooo successful (note: sarcasm!) at teaching us all about love - attempt to teach Balram about love! 😔 God only knows what the writers have in store for us all!

I very much dislike the way that the writers continue to portray Balram as being brainless, or having other characters think that he is brainless. I didn't like it when Kutila actually thought that to herself in Monday's episode, but I wasn't surprised by it because she thinks she is the smartest and everyone else is stupid. What is the real insult is the way that the writers continue to treat the Balram character disrespectfully in general. Shri Balram, the RK character of Balram, and Basant deserve much, much better.

The way they continue to flip-flop around disrespectfully with his Balram character in RK is one of the reasons I hate that Basant had to leave VG; I know he had to leave one show for all practical purposes and I respect that and will try to stop bringing this up over and over again (sorry!), but the way RK continue to be silly about his character is grating, big time!!! 😡

Hopefully they won't treat Balram too much more horribly in this upcoming "love story" bit! I don't hold out much hope (keeping all hopes underground) but it would be nice if Balram and Revati actually recognise each other from their encounter as Sheshnaag-Jyotishmati in Brahmalok. 😊

BTW, Tusu, Jyotishmati's father in Brahmalok with the mukut is Chakshush Manu, not Kukudmi (who is Revati's father, who we haven't seen yet). With this weird plan that Pralambhasur and Kans are making for getting King Kukudmi to organise a wrestling festival to find the most worthy husband for Revati, it will be really weird if they somehow actually put Krishna and Balram against each other in the akhada!!! 😕

RK's Pralambhasur is lucky - he actually survived Kans's plan (making him only the second asur to achieve this feat, after that Chalasur who went as a fake pundit during Chadravalli's wedding festivities), and now that he has advised Kans to get King Kukudmi to organise this wrestling festival to "help" him find a worthy son-in-law, seemingly Pralambhasur has some weird role in uniting his destined muktidaata, Balram, with his destined wife, Revati! 🤣🤣🤣 Haaayeee! The weird stuff the RK writers come up with!!!

All I can say is give me satyabhama and you gain a viewer. For me this whole show is a comic relief. Swastik is a terrible production house but successful because you know "idiot box". Tewary made a mess of cgm and ended it saying he didn't want to stretch the story even when he never showed any and here he's stretching the show like bubble gum. Who are you fooling really?

@bold unfortunately a lot of people. I was reading on instagram and youtube the types of comments and whenever anyone points out the inaccuracies some (not all) people get really defensive. Saying things like 'how can you hate on radhakrishn?'

No doubt this show has amazing talent. I acknowledge that but I also recognize this as just another hindi tv drama that sadly uses gods and goddesses names to trick people into believing their story.

It is sad that some people truly believe that this stuff happened in the actual purans

Again just to make it clear SOME people (not all) are being fooled and blindfolded by Swastik casting great actors. If it were not for the cast this show would have ended a long time ago.
