Dwarakadheesh (Imagine TV)

I cannot be counted amongst the fans of mythological serials that seem to have mushroomed on the Idiot Box these days. The serial "Dwarakadheesh" (Imagine TV), however, has been an exception to the rule.

Lord Krishna has always been one of my favorite deities. And the actor playing the part in this serial fits the bill perfectly - what with his soulful eyes, deep dimples and cute mischievous smile. You should see his crestfallen face when he gets chastised, which is more often than not, by elder brother Balram. Simply adorable! He delivers his dialogues - even the philosophical ones - with conviction. Till now, the word "Krishna" used to conjure up image of Nitish Bharadwaj who played the part in the famous serial "Mahabharata". I guess it is time for Mr. Bharadwaj to bow out. :-)

It will be interesting to see who plays the famous characters of Karna, Duryodhana, Arjuna and Draupadi. Though I eagerly await the decisive battle at Kurukshetra and of course, the delivery of Bhagwad Geeta, I don't mind watching Krishna play his enchanting flute in the meantime. :-)
