Jai Shri Krishna on Colors Channel

Serials on mythological subjects such as the Mahabharat, Ramayan, Shri Krishna, etc, tend to be very popular. From a smaller number of such serials earlier, now we have more serials, with serials on Mata Vaishno Devi, serials on Sai Baba, and many others. There have been many serials on the past related to one of the most important mythological and religious characters, Lord Krishna. There is another serial on the same subject that is becoming fairly popular, called Jai Shri Krishna. The serial is made by Sagar Arts, and appears on Color TV at 8:30 PM weekdays (8 AM in the morning). The serial started on July 21st, 2008.
The serial is probably the most detailed look at the childhood of Shri Krishna, since the show is still focused on the childhood of Shri Krishna. A lot of other shows show the childhood of Shri Krishna within 10-12 episodes, but this show is taking a much longer time, and showing many more things. The serial shows in more detail the attempts made by Kans on the life of Shri Krishna when he was an infant and a young boy, employing many different methods to try and kill the young boy, but failing everytime. The show has shown many different demons, birds and the like trying to kill Shri Krishna but failing everytime.
There is a lot more detail shown about the frustration of Kans about his inability to kill the young boy, especially when Krishna appears in front of him and Kans cannot do anything about it (and the others cannot see Krishna). There is a lot more focus on the antics of Krishna, including his divine connection to Radha, his playfulness, his devotion to his mother Yashoda, and his connection with the Gopis. Overall, to many the serial may seem a bit slow, but there is a lot of focus on the younger Krishna, and one would expect a lot of people also to be devoted to this serial.
