Holy Rasgulla, Unholy Lies

Rukmini: You promised me the last Rasgulla

Krishna: Technically, I never said who I promised it to

Rukmini: Oh, so now you’re playing word games?

Krishna: I’m literally the god of lila. You knew what you signed up for

[madatdisney]

So I went for a play on krishna around a month back, and one thing that surprised me was, when the play ended and it was introduction of the actors, EVERYONE in the audience cheered for Radha, but no one for Rukmini.

That got me thinking, why do North Indians prefer Radha over Rukmini?

I'm South Indian and I grew up only knowing Rukmini-Krishna. So i think that might explain my thought process more?

[madatdisney]

I feel Rukmini did have a bit of fire in her. Not too much like Bhama was, but enough to make people fold or question their life choices. *cough* krishna *cough* HC: Rukmini and Satyabhama together would be running the kingdom while krishna, being krishna, tends to the kids instead.

a love story like shri krishna and maharani rukmini >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[madatdisney]

That one scene in Bajirao Mastani where kashibai and bajirao are talking about rukmini and krishna hits different...

[madatdisney]

I'm a Ruku-Kanha (Rukmini and Krishna) shipper and I'll die with it.

I didn't like Satyabhama

Hear me out before you cancel me for this

The Krishnavataram movie was really well done, but I hate how they characterized satyabhama. Sure, Sanskruti did an amazing job, but that's not the point

Satyabhama, in the texts, was a proud and confident woman. She loved Krishna and knew her place as his wife, and never showed any sort of hostility towards the other women he married.

What matters is that she was CONFIDENT in her love for him.

Satyabhama in the movie is just an insecure girl who's too possessive of her husband and refuses to acknowledge that Krishna loved many, and vice versa.

The first half of the movie was just her being jealous of Radha-Krishna in Vrindavan/Barsana, and the intermission part was her crying and whining about Rukmini-Dwarakadhish. But suddenly, in the second half, she remembers that she is Bhudevi, and then goes back to being jealous and whiny. Half the movie was her trying to be Radha until Rukmini called her out for that.

In the end, she even calls out Rukmini by saying "you may be the Yadavas' Lakshmi, but I alone am Krishna's dear", like what? I know that the irl Bhama wouldn't dare to say that to Rukmini, because:

1. they love and respect each other like sisters

2. they BOTH are lakshmi

3. Krishna will be upset (and definetely make a fuss like a toddler. he's capable)

I was upset that Bhama's character development, post the narakasura incident went down the drain. The thulabhara story showed had enough to develop her and she showed it in her compassion towards the 16,100 women. But after that they just threw it away.

If you wanna make her the center, don't ruin her actual character

[bluecrusadearcade]

I think the story was not adapted from OG canon but from a book by Raam Mori, a literary fiction writer, that is why all of these things were added. But still the "yadav lakshmi, haripriya" line sent me. What the fuck. My flabbers were gasted. Hopefully part 2 is better.

Ironically RukminiShyam were my favourite part of the entire thing🥰.

Also I wished they showed the whole vrindavan/barsana affair portraying kanha and radha as CHILDREN. Because they weren't grown adults, they were like what, 10 year olds😭 but oh well. ( i read that it was portrayed like that because Bhama only knew an Adult krishna that is why she imagined them like that)

[madatdisney]

I understand that it was fictional and I also understand that the radhe-krishna sequences can be brushed off as her imagination, but for 95% of the movie, bhama was being a whiny, jealous prick. WDYM SHE GOT JEALOUS THAT KRISHNA WENT TO DRAUPADI'S SWAYAMVAR? That's not the bhama we know and love so much...

[madatdisney]

I'm sorry but why was my favorite scene the one before the intermission when bhama is running to welcome krishna, but she sees him married to rukmini and runs away? I think it's because of the drama, the sets, cinematography and obviously Ruku-kanha...

[madatdisney]

Why is it only Siddharth and Sanskruti going on promotional tours? Where's sushmitha? Nivaashiyni? That one interview is not enough. I need more of them.

MAYBE A NEW SERIES

The number of times I read Mahabharat or watch it on different platforms or read different books on it I really feel that the modern platform is not doing justice to some Mahabharata characters.

Yeah they are not that Saas Bahu type serials to keep going on for years but still yaar I badly want more space time and dialogues for some characters.

I am a very inconsistent girl in her study phase but I really wanna write something badly about the Mahabharat giving more space to the untouched characters.

Thinking to start a new series.

"MAHABHARATA RUKMINI AND REVATI'S VERSION"

I want to include everything in this series. That every untouched characters of the epic and my two mothers Rukmini and Revati Maiyya.

Features :-

More( I mean lots of) RukminixKrishna scenes

No hate to the other wives and the gopis of Vrindavan I have high respect for them but still I want Krishna to have only Rukmini as his lover and queen.(Although she is already the only one)

Space time for Revati xBalrama, all the kids of Rukmini and Revati, the Uppandavas, Abhimanyu, etc.

Krishna and Rukmini meeting each other thousand times before that letter and harana incident.

And much more.........

I really wish I could start this ASAP but sensing myself idk when my imagination is going to come to reality .

[madatdisney]

YES PLS I WANNA READ THISSS

[madatdisney]

The one thing that irked me in the Krishnavataram movie was the 'haripriya-yadulakshmi' thing. Sure, Satyabhama was also dear to Krishna, and so was Rukmini, but I feel that the real Satyabhama would never say that. They loved each other like sisters! Get your facts straight. There was no Rukmini vs Satyabhama; it was something Kaliyuga made up to pit two women against each other.

I understand they wanted to bring up Satyabhama, but don't downplay Rukmini and the other wives for that...

💙💗💙💗

[madatdisney]

Is it wrong to say that I prefered Rukmini over Satyabhama in the krishnavataram movie? like bhama was good but I WANTED MORE RUKMINI SHE WAS SO PERFECT AHHHHH!

[madatdisney]

Can we all agree that krishna is prime "gaslight gatekeep girlboss"? I know for a fact he's a girls girl and doesn't mind wearing press on nails with unicorns on them or heavy makeup.
