RadhaKrishn

RadhaKrishn is an Indian Hindi-language television drama series that premiered on 1 October 2018 on Star Bharat[1][2] and is also digitally available on Disney+ Hotstar.

A prequel of RadhaKrishn, titled Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki, was telecast from 19 October 2021 to 4 July 2022.

This was a part of cosmic play as it was time for Krishn-Vishnu to make his entry into the mortal world to save Bhudevi from evil.

Krishn removes all humanly weaknesses like bhaya (fear), moha (greed), krodha (anger),irshya (envy), ahankara (pride), grihna (hatred) and heenbhavna (lack of self-confidence) out of Radha.

He helps Panchala king Drupada arrange a Swayamvara for his daughter Draupadi, who was born from a yajna.

Later, Duryodhana organises a dice game with Shakuni wherein Pandavas lose all their wealth and are humiliated, while Krishna saves Draupadi from getting disrobed in the court by Dushasana.

Upon their return starts the Kurukshetra War, where Arjuna receives from Krishn, the knowledge of Bhagavad Gita.

To Jambavati and Krishn, a son Samba is born, who is termed to be the reason for the Yadava destruction as cursed by Gandhari.

Later, Samba, Aniruddha, and Balaram's sons Nishath and Ulmuk are sent to Gurukula along with Radha and return after a few years, as teens.

Shankhchuda (rebirth of Sridama) enters the story and has a loving wife, Tulasi, who is his strength but he only uses her.

With the help of Tulasi and her devotion to him, Shankhchuda got immense strength and he vows to destroy the whole universe.

Lord Shiva suggests that Krishn should perform the Ashwamedh Yagya, for which he would need someone as his consort (ardhāngini).

Narada advised performing Tulabhara (balancing) in order to find the perfect consort for Krishn.

Rukmini arrives and places a pair of bangles gifted by Krishn and a tulasi leaf, and wins him upon balancing the scale.

However, after Krishn refuses to go to Goloka immediately, Radha ends their relationship of love on Earth.

Afterward, Vidhurath, brother of Dantavakra, tries to kill Radha but gets executed by Krishn's Sudarshana Chakra.

Later, Samba insults Rishi Durvasa in disguise, only to get cursed to be the cause of the Yadava tribe's destruction.

Bhrigu visits Vishnu but is dismayed to see Lakshmi massaging his feet, actually out of love for her husband.

He knows her divine truth, and confines her to the house so that she will never meet her Narayan as he is scared that Vishnu will come and take Bhargavi away.

As Srinivas cannot meet Bhargavi directly, he and Govindraj (his brother) disguise themselves as Venkatesh and his wife Bharya.

After this, Shrinivas reveals his swaroop and the Tirumala temple is established, with Padmavathi becoming Alamelu Manga.

When they come back to the present, Radha returns to Golok, the Yadav fratricidal war starts.

Balaram takes jal samadhi, Dwarka is drowned and Jara fulfills his destiny of killing Krishn.

The original music of the series is composed by Surya Raj Kamal with the background score by Jitesh Panchal and Sushant Pawar.

Lyrics are penned by Shekhar Astitwa, Neetu Pandey Kranti, Vikas Chauhan, Dr. Kannan, and others.

Star Bharat in December 2018 uploaded a video consisting of 14 songs from the series till that date.

Shibhapriya Swas is the set and costume designer who was inspired from their descriptions in scriptures, as well as different paintings.

[10][11][12][13][14] In 2017, Chahat Pandey was first cast as the lead Radha opposite Sumedh Mudgalkar while Madirakshi Mundle and Siddharth Arora as Goloka RadhaKrishna.

They also starred in the show's first teaser, however, were replaced by Mallika Singh, Shivya Pathania and Himanshu Soni due to creative differences.

It was titled as Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki and premiered on 19 October 2021 and ended on 4 July 2022.
