There are many serials which are mythological, on television. If you switch channels, somewhere Karna and Krishna are conversing, somewhere Rama is growing up, Hanuman is flying around, Durga is killing demons or Lakshmi and ALkashmi are fighting. While the Hindi channels are showering mythology on the viewers, the Bengali channels are not behind with Durga, Lakshmi and Byamakhema (which is not really mythological).
When it comes to the serials, many of them deviate from the stories that we have grown up hearing. So, initially, it is disbelief - what is the director trying to show? How could the person deviate?
Then comes the realization, that maybe there are some versions of the stories in different regions, which do have these stories. Who knows? At the end of the day, it is about depicting greatness of the hero, and if this is not a historical character, the serial maker can easily hide behind the curtain of folk tales and regional versions and provide a world of magic, divinity, evil, and how hero is good and always wins.
Happy Serial Watching.
