I love to watch separation onscreen.
Mujhe Milan se zyada Viraha rash pasand hai and what else could give me a good separation story than Radha Krishna !?
I liked their teenage love story coz I was mostly looking forward to their separation after Kans vadh.
But here there's no separation. They are still not separated. Even when they were physically apart, they could see each other whenever they wanted, Radha could see everything through Shuka, they could talk whenever they wanted-----how was that any different from this Facebook generation ?!?
They never had to crave each other. Radha never became the Yogan of Krishna because she never needed to.
If the west has Romeo Juliet, we have Radha Krishna. But what if Romeo and Juliet doesn't die and start living together in an open relationship where he marries one girl after another and call all of them friends and Juliet as the bff ? How fcuked up would that be ?
The main essence of a Radha-Krishna story is love amidst separation and that is entirely lost here.
I don't get what's wrong with bollywood. Here Akbar, who supposed to have a harem was in a monogamous relationship with jodha in the movie. And here Krishna, who is supposed to be romance personified, has a weird sort of platonic harem aka friendship club.
