Article-Which is your fave show on TV?

Lord Krishna is one of the most popular Hindu gods who is portrayed in multiple images as the naughty child, divine lover and eternal philosopher. And television producers and filmmakers are cashing in on his aura to woo audiences.

While TV shows like "Jai Shri Krishna" on Colors and Nick's latest animated show "Little Krishna" have been entertaining viewers, the big screen has also been abuzz with animated movies like "Bal Krishna" and "Krishna: Aayo Natkhat Nandlal" in recent times.

Prem Sagar of Sagar Arts, which has been popular for producing mythological shows like "Ramayan" and "Shri Krishna", says it is the "universality" and "completeness" of Krishna's character that makes for interesting storytelling.

"It is not like only Krishna is the most popular mythological character being shown on TV. There are shows on other gods like Shani, Sai Baba and Maa Durga as well. But what makes Krishna stand out is the fact that he is complete in all aspects," said Sagar.

"He has so many different shades to his character - romance, bravery, diplomacy, he was cunning, but positively...He is an epitome of completeness," he added.

Lord Krishna was introduced on TV in 1987 with B.R. Chopra's mega mythological show "Mahabharata" and seven years later came Ramanand Sagar's "Shri Krishna" that was completely dedicated to the blue god.

People have since then endeared him as a character despite the flurry of 'saas-bahu sagas and reality shows that have seeped into the Indian television scenario.
