Given the shoddy job they did on the Uttarkand portion of the Ramayan, I can't say I'm looking forward to this. Besides, Radha is a very insignificant chapter in Krishna's life, compared to his time w/ Rukmini, his wars w/ Jarasandha, Shishupala, Shalva, Narakasura, et al, his story w/ the Swayantaka gem, his involvement w/ the Pandavas and escapades w/ Arjun, his role in the Kurukshetra war and finally, the fracticide of the Yadavas.
Somehow, every serial maker has this plutonic need to only show Krishna in his amorous roles, rather than anything serious 👎🏼
My other beef is the choice of channel here - Imagine TV, which has screwed just about every serial since the Ramayan, and which I no longer get on my TV, and which I'm about to start boycotting anyway.
Taking out the whole "LuvKush adventures" drama towards the end (as well as some of Ram's over-emotion in the beginning), the Uttarkand of AS Ramayan was actually my favorite part of the whole serial. The characterization of everyone seemed more true to the story, especially's Sita's, and the acting was also really good, but I have to agree with you about NDTV Imagine. So far, Chandragupta Maurya is really good and pretty accurate, but I don't know how long it'll last since NDTV Imagine is last on my list for dependability.
And yes, I'm not liking the Radha vs. Rukmini aspect this serial is planning to have. Both of them were Lakshmi avatars and all, but Radha was not in the story as long as Rukmini like you said, and what are they possibly planning to show to elongate it?😕 I also am much more interested in Krishna's political victories. I especially loved the Jarasandh track in Ramanand Sagar's Shri Krishna serial, and I would like to see something like that again, with newer technology, not the competitions between Krishna's wives or something.
After making Jai Shri Krishna for Colors, Sagar Pictures is planning to bring in another Mytho which will depict the life of Lord Krishna.
