One thing I forgot to comment on yesterday was the headgear of the various characters. Only Krishna's looks authentic!!!
I already commented on how Balaram wears a Trojan helmet in battle, and nothing when he's sitting on the throne next to Krishna (itself a weird image). Jarasandha wears nothing - one wonders whether they're trying to re-create him in the image of a Hannibal Lecter π I've forgotten what Bhishmaka wore, but what Rukmi & Sishupala wore really took the cake.
The turban like headgear used by Rukmi & Sishupala was something never worn by royalty, but something worn by their nobles and merchants. Both Rukmi & Shishupal looked like they were banias of some sort (no offense to banias). In reality, everyone - Jarasandha, Bheeshmaka, Sishupala, Balaram and Rukmi - should have been wearing crowns, and the only way Krishna's crown would have been different would have been the peacock feather on his crown, which was something that only he ever wore.
For a serial that's so good about special effects and sets, one would think they'd have gotten the costume right. Also, anyone else thinks that Rukmini's criss-crossed pearls on her head looks weird?
