RadhaKrishn (2018)
Utter crap
Useless actors , plagiarized soundtrack and totally distorted storyline.
Mahabharat (2013)
Almost there
I am rating for picturization , cinematography , background score and theme music with entry and other Sanskrit hymns.
I have not found anything close to this good.
But its not real .
One reason is the distortion of the central character of Krishn.
I have read Maharishi Vedvyas Mahabharat published by Geeta Press , Gorakhpur in its original seven volumes .
Took me 2 years or so.
In lieu with that ,Krishn portrayed here by Saurabh Raj Jain only looks good but that is not the real Krishn attributes as depicted in original Mahabharat.
Krishn in this show is heavily distorted and modified.
And being a central saga and character in Hinduism , this show is now made itself available for authentic criticism.
For example
,in the compiled version of Mahabharat,
Krishn is depicted as always in pleasant mood with full of bliss but in this show he is more of a psychopath .
In the original show ,he was enraged only a few times
,like with Kans and Bheeshm ,
but in this show he is enraged with almost every single person who doesn't agree with him.
Other characters are also modified and storyline is also tilted in more ways than one.
Suryaputra Karn (2015)
Complete distortion
This show is heavily inspired by Ekta Kapoor's Mahabharat
,including character theme music and hymns ,which was actually good and close to original Mahabharat.
Mahabharat is written by Maharishi Bhagwan Vedvyas .
Even if you want to portray a single character
,which is in this case is Karn ,
should not deviate from Mahabharat.
If you want to add some different script ,the storyline should not be of Mahabharat era , reason being this epic saga is one of the very centre of Hinduism.
As per the show is concerned , poorest acting of every single character but I liked whosoever portrayed Shakuni.
Siya Ke Ram (2015)
Picturesque with outlandish storyline
Sita Mata fights with giant reptiles / dinosaurs.
The first sightings of Lord Ram and Lakshman take place in the ashram of Brahmrishi Valmiki.
Tandoori chicken, grilled, is a favorite food of the demons.
Uff ...
And where did the words 'hazaar' came in the Ramayana period?
Lord Rama had eviscerated 14 thousand soldiers of Khar-Dhushan, but Ravan is informed by saying that it is 14 'Hazaar' and not 14 ' Shastra' .
Spare me the humility .
But background score and character based theme music is awesome with local folk tuning there like when Sita Mata and her sisters were dancing in their childhood in the palacial garden ;
the popular Chathi Maiya tone was in play.
Likewise , Bhagwan Ram's and Ravan's theme music is also good.
Overall a watchable show ,but not a must watch.
Mayanagari - City of Dreams (2019)
Weak plot and lame dialogues
So I have worked closely with some parties of both right and left wings.
Trash talk is absent on virtually all levels from ground workers to heads.
And comes rarely in rare circumstances.
But in this show , everyone ,
from policemen to politicians to commoners ,
is initiating conversation and ending it with cuss words.
It portrays a grim picture of Indian politics which is non existent in real life.
Apart from this ,the plot is very very weak in background storyline.
Nobody terms nobody as ' Saheb ' anymore.
Its not ' license raj '.
Acting is so so.
Setting is good.
