It's workable I guess. Better than the youtube stuff we have. Now it seems like the Meghan stuff is months away. Maybe a year. Dhriti just got introduced. Hopefully our patience will be rewarded by Sagar Pictures uploading the episodes to youtube like NDTV Imagine.
Dude! I know! The JSK Vishnu wasn't died and I still loved him so much! And I always thought that the blue complexion of Krishna and Vishnu were more metaphorical. There's this song in marathi where Krishna asks Yashoda maiya why she, Nand Baba, Balram and all others are so fair, but he is so dark. Then she tells him that he isn't dark, but simply "sawala" like the evening sky. Yes dear, and you know, I personally prefer seeing fair-complexioned Rams and Krishnas to those heavily dyed actors we saw in old bolly and tolly movies...that was just too much and I never liked seeing Ram or Krishna with that type of complexion either.🤔
And I don't want to sound superficial, but the actor who played Vishnu wasn't really, well, handsome. Of course, the acting and tone is a major factor, but looks do help. Arunji had all three. No, you're totally right...though looks may not be the most important, Vishnu Bhagwaan is supposed to be extremely pleasing to the eye because many women fell in love with him as Ram and Krishna. The Vishnu in RSR wasn't very pleasing to the eye (maybe it was all the blue paint, I don't know), whereas Arunji, as you said, had all three: looks, tone, and acting. When RSji chose such a nice Ram, I wish he had taken better care with Vishnu as well. It may be because Vishnu appeared in only 3-4 scenes, but it couldn't have hurt to film Arunji as Vishnu in those scenes, could it?
From all the mythos I've seen, I really liked Vishal as Vishnu, JSK's Vishnu, and of course, Gurmeet being my favorite. I felt he really fit Vishnu well, especially in those background stories of Narad's pride being broken and Vishnu fighting all those rakshasas. I also liked SDB as Vishnu and Swapnil/Meghan in those few scenes they had.
