I started the show because I always wanted a show based entirely on Radha Krishna. So it was like a wish come true. I loved how naughty Krishna was and liked Radha as a relatable humane teen. Talking about the first stages of the show. I even loved the initial inaccurate dramatic elements like Putna dropping him at Radha's place....I enjoyed all of it š³.
Bold: IMO the whole show is a filler track š. Tell me one thing that was actually needed in a Radha Krishna story that was shown in this show. It was just entertaining with a talented cast, music, sets, costumes (even the costumes are so bad now ) and the points you mentioned in the first line.
I stopped regularly watching it since Radha-krishna haldi ( after ugra blackmailing vrishvan and Radha overhearing them). I didn't even watch Ayan Radha wedding. Then watched a bit when Radha had shut the door and Krishna was leaving. Has been irregular but still had some things to look forward to. The things I mentioned in my previous post and also the one you mentioned ( yashoda-krishna-nand separation ) .....But as you said, the first separation was so bad I didn't even bother to watch the final one....Who knows whether that was even final !!!!
I watched Kans vadh after not watching for a long time. Kans vadh was okayish ( m glad Radha didn't kill him 𤪠and hated how Bal was sidelined ). Then again left. But after brahm vivah was a dream, I freaking had it !!!! That was enough BS !
The main charm of any Radha Krishna story lies in separation ( Viraha )......Viraha between RK .....Viraha between Kanha and his maiyaa.......
That's the reason I always wanted to experience a well written RK story......and at the first I thought I got it.....Then sab gaaya tel lene š!
I so agree with u. The main essence of Radha Krishna love was how their bond was strong and love so deep and true inspite of not seeing each others faces for years and years.
When the show focused on the lines, "paane ko hi prem kahe jag ki yehi reet, prem arth samjhayegi ab Radha Krishna ki preet!" it obviously meant their separation.
But in this show their separation means they just don't get married to each other, they marry different people yet that marriage is just namesake and they love only each other and the so called 'niyati' keeps reuniting these two.
Sridhama cursed 100 years separation. Technically, when were Radha Krishna even separated? If I am not wrong the makers made Radha Krishna bachpan ke chaddi buddies. š
I don't want to say this but somewhere this show has insulted the marriage system and has kinda unintentionally/unknowingly turned Radha Krishna into lovers who indulge in extra marital affair. Though the real Radha Krishna never had extra marital affair but this show's Radha Krishna definitely had and will have. In order to justify the ema, they turned Ayan a villain so that Radha will never have any marital relationship with him. Then they showed the Vishnu avatars stories again to justify the ema. But what they forgot was in their previous incarnations, Vishnu and Lakshmi were married. In this incarnation, they're not married to each other. They just failed in executing the Radha Krishna relationship properly and ended up making these two lovers an ema couple. The only thing that's pure about their relationship is there's no intimacy or passion.
One of the writers of the show is too active on twitter and mostly pays attention to peoples criticisms more than the praises. When the Rukmini track was introduced most of the fandom were excited to see Krishna-Rukmini story but there were few Kridha fans who kept on asking for Kridha scenes inspite of knowing that Krishna never met Radha after he left for Mathura and the writer ignored the praises and suddenly turned Rukmini into an arrogant spoilt brat and is now showing Radha Krishna romance in Dwaraka in the presence of Rukmini so that Rukmini will understand the Kridha relationship and allow her husband to indulge in ema with his gf. Yesterday Revati told her the same, U need to accept ur husband's relationship with Radha. U have no choice.
I am sorry if I offended anyone here. I am not talking about the real Lord Krishna and Radha. I am talking about this show's Radha Krishna
