Best serial on Lord Krishna
Ramanand Sagar's SHRI KRISHNA is the best show on earth. All the chapters of Krishna has been 85% covered starting from his birth till the Mahabharat war. The casting, sets has been researched thoroughly. I would like to mention the pros and cons very carefully below:
The Pros:
* The introduction by Ramanand Sagar has been awesome. His description about the essence of Lord Krishna which started from India and spread to the West has been brilliantly touched upon. The way he appears and explains the chapters in every stage of Lord Krishna's life is mesmerizing. His humility, way of explaining, appearance gives an indication of a saint of this modern era.
* The casting has done a fantastic job. Sarvadaman Bannerjee who played the title role of Lord Krishna was just simply divine. His mannerisms, body language, emotions etc match the Lord 100%. The other actors who played various roles in different stages of Krishna's life also did a great job.
* The music by Ravindra Jain was melodious. The title song "Shree Krishna Govind Hare Murare" created a special place in my heart. All the other songs were also great to listen to.
The Cons:
* The voices for other actors sounded quite similar like a single voice artist dubbing for everyone which is sometimes irritating.
* Some of the actors went a bit overboard in their acting especially in emotional scenes.
* In the Mahabharat, Sahadev had killed Shakuni but here Nakul killed Shakuni which is not true.
* After Gandhari cursing Krishna for 36 years; the death of Lord Krishna, the Yadav clan destruction, Dwarka submersion, the pandavas dying one by one with Yudhishtra answering the reason of their deaths etc were not shown.
Despite of the cons, I give 9/10 because of the hardwork done by Ramanand Sagar and team for making the serial a grand success from 1993-2001.
