Surprisingly these fresh new episodes are not getting into my nerves like the older ones. This inclusion of Mahabharta is a breath of fresh air.
It's high time they give Radha either the respectable closure that she deserves or a much needed respite from her in-laws. Let her retire from this materialistic world and create a peaceful abode somewhere in the serene seclusion of mother nature where she can meet Krishna whenever she wants and do raas or go on a kheer eating date or swinging date or whatever. Just make her get rid of these vulnerabilities. Even a human Meerabai mustered more courage and defied every odds to be with her beloved. Why can't the divine Radha do this ? Let her realize her true self and rise above every pain and sorrow. This Radha is oh so miserable that you can't tolerate it anymore. If you look at Draupadi for example, you will find her to be an exciting woman, you would catch fancy for her, you would like to know more n more about her even though you already know her story. On the other hand if you see this show's Radha, you will find her to be a dull doll trapped inside a never-ending circle of despondency. They never really made her interesting to begin with. Her personality was an amalgamation of other people's action and her reactions to those actions. She never really had a character progress. She just went from a loner to a stoner. She is just a pretty petite girl with no life, no will, no romance, no dreams and infact no pain of separation at all. What is she is beyond me at this point. A major part of real Radhakrishna's story is viraha but here these two are hardly separated. Even a human like us would have a much admirable love story than these two ! And I'm not kidding. Most of us have felt separation more than this show's Radha and Krishna that too without the magical presence of our beloveds around us. Also the kind of petty narratives this show peddle is totally wrong. Why make Rukmini/Satyabhama/Jambavati and to some extent Ayan victims of an unreciprocated marriage ? Don't marry in the first place. Why this show is so hell bent on showing Krishna as an one woman man ? It's not okay to sneak out at night and have a surreptitious rendezvous with your former flame while you are still in a legal marriage no matter now parishuddh you prem is it's just not okay if you are keeping your partner in dark. This is not something Radhakrishna's love should teach the world. Their eating scene was boringly overstretched. He (krishna) had no problem devouring on the food at his aunt Kunti's home and here all of a sudden he is doing such nautanki ! They are divine beings for God's sake, these people need to stop overhumanizing them. A crybaby Krishna at this crucial juncture is the last thing we want to see. He already has broken the records of Devdaas. Can't deal with his majnuism anymore. Have mercy on us !!!
They got a good actress for Shikhandini's role. Draupadi is good too. Let's hope she will deliver the kind of results we are expecting from her. As of now she is still a naive princess far from the woes of life.
In this episode, Drupad expressed disappointment for the absence of Hastinapur royals in Draupadi's marriage. He said his kingdom has some excellent relationship with the kuru clan. Weren't they arch rivals ??? Also who is this Kalinga raaj ? Another fiction ? Drupad kind of wanted Draupadi to narry Arjun no ??
The precap is sort of weird. Can't they(sakha sakhi) do some wireless magical calls like they always do. Ye aadhi raat ko jungle mein milke dusron ki zindagiyaan discuss karne mein kaun sa mazaa aata hai !
