This is firstly based on the Satyabhama novel by a Gujarati author, Satyabhamaa

Some creative liberty has been taken which you shall know when you watch the movie.

Talking about the portrayals: The actress playing Radha was lovely to watch though I feel there was this slight disconnect during dubbing but I loved her dance scenes and the scenes. Also every frame during Radha-Krishna parts in Vrindavana were straight from a painting and a lovely Pinterest moodboard

The guy playing Krishna was actually nice like i did enjoy the softness in his voice and boy he did look charismatic.

Rukmini was portrayed so well, imma go cry. She is dignified and the character portrayal was so apt because when Rukmini is mahalakshmi, she is also Dwarkeshvari, Krishna's patrani so she holds a great understanding about her role in Krishna's life and the position she holds in Krishna's heart. For the first time I did not see the same old irshya from radha and being insecure from Radha.

Satyabhama ahhh I swear I was in love with her once again. Her maan leela was actually well done instead of the egoistical angle that serials usually do.

Rukmini-Satyabhama bond. Chef's kiss. Yes there are these scenes where Satya wants Krishna for herself and the tulambharam scene is also there but for those who have always seen Satya as this proud and haughty wife thanks to media and folklore, you see how she does because of maan, because she believes that she has the right to be displeased, to demand affection from Krishna, to demand love because if she is in love with him as his wife, he is also her husband he too must please her. This is unique about their bond.

Because Rukmini-Krishna have the bond as a god and goddess in love. They are dignified, yes they are in love too, very much indeed but in them you see how they are older, they have seen eons where they find each other and fall in love in different ways. It's nothing new. But with Bhama-Krishna, you get to see the humanization of a goddess being in love with a god.

I kind of wanted more dialogues though because though the music was overwhelmingly good, I wish there were more dialogues because I wanted to listen to them conversing.

Grand scenes, amazing visuals. Pinterest girlies for desi moodboards will be working hard now to make those edits

You will cry if not during the movie, definitely by the end.

Action scenes could be a lil better though but indeed the movie is actually a good watch
