But I haven't seen the new Ramayan, so I dunno how much worse the current one is.<BR/><BR/>Nitish rocked as Krishna. He oozed charm in oodles and you could understand what the gopikas went gaga over... and yet he also came across as an all-knowing, all understanding, all forgiving yet judging... Dunno if it was good acting, but he certainly brought Krishna alive. I really wonder hy he didn't go on to further good roles.<BR/>He did do a hit mallu movie- njan gandharvan, where he was the gandharvan, but that too had shades of myth. Maybe once you've been placed on a pedestal, people find it difficult to accept him as a regular guy..?Just Like Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156108159461377932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-3330541640372817772008-05-05T14:13:00.000+07:002008-05-05T14:13:00.000+07:00Hey!

Perhaps that is why religions like Islam frown upon any kind of symbolism. <BR/><BR/>But I think we all need some point of reference, don't we? So this tendency is understandable. I would draw the line at calling it fanaticism though. <BR/><BR/>On a lighter note, poor Nitish Bharadwaj.

Anyway, I couldn't relate to this Ramayan at all. <BR/><BR/>But then when I saw the older version, it is being telecast in some other channel, I almost died of boredom. The scenes moved so slow and the expressions on Arun Govil's face were permanent. <BR/><BR/>I guess human mind can never be happy!Subhashreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056826644628075658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-33165365773883241712008-05-02T00:38:00.000+07:002008-05-02T00:38:00.000+07:00I yam telling you alls peoples, only NTR garu was ...I yam telling you alls peoples, only NTR garu was Sri Ramudu for us in south India.
