2) Shree Krishna
When the world was going through a lockdown, the government-owned channels DD National decided to air this long-forgotten serial Shree Krishna. That’s when I recollected how we used to watch this serial every Sunday morning during our childhood. Although this series has been created in 1993, it still holds fresh due to the amazing acting skills of the entire cast and the wonderful dialogues written by the writers. The story starts with how Lord Vishnu takes the form of Lord Krishna to remove evil from the world. How Lord Krishna gets to be known as the protector and justice-giver in different situations is shown in the serial. Shree Krishna is based on Bhagavata Purana and produced by Sagar arts.
3) OMG: Oh My God!
If you really don’t have time to sit and watch the serials, you can still catch a movie on the Krishna Janmashtami holidays. This film OMG: Oh My God! talks about how Lord Krishna has to appear as a human being to a mid-aged man who accuses all Gods for the mishappenings in his life. It is a film that makes people aware of some old beliefs and customs that actually loot common people with a lot of money. The film has a lot of comic scenes and some people may also find it annoying as it puts the religious officials in a bad light. Watch it to have a hearty laugh on Janmashtami.
If these films are not something that interests you as you have already watched them many times, then definitely watch animated movies on Lord Krishna’s stories on OTT or cartoon channels. I am sure you will be delighted to watch the natkhat tactics of Lord Krishna from his childhood till his young age shown in the best animation possible. You can watch animated movies on Zee5 such as:
Krishna Makhan Chor
Krishna In Vrindavan
Krishna: The Birth
Krishna Balram
Krishna Kansa Vadh
Krishna Balram: Kalvakra Series
Krishna Balram: The Warrior Princess
