Our Take:
The show has an inspiring concept. The story shows the female lead fighting with her inner fears and dilemmas, to break the boundaries created for women. Kanchan and Vishesh have a similar perception when it comes to end the blind beliefs and old customs. The women’s free spirit will be presented by the bold and well-crafted character of Kanchan. Vishesh’s progressive character would be describing an ideal man of today’s times, who will be determined to help Kanchan fight with the bitter past. The show brings a different take on the societal issues. The story is narrated in a simple manner. It serves clean entertainment, suitable for all the age groups.
The decent approach to support the brave concept of women empowerment is an added plus. There has been no over dramatic scenes. The pace goes on smooth. The dialogues are well-written. Vishesh’s mindset and his wonderful thoughts are something good to watch. The locales of Mathura are just seen in the initial episodes. Though the sets are pleasing, natural appeal is quite low. The supporting characters are okay. The cast does a wonderful job. The story will connect with the audience. It seems much predictable in the beginning. As the show proceeds, the main subject will be presented in a subtle way. The leads Rahul Sharma and Shivani Tomar make their suitability for their roles evident. The chemistry between the leads is nice.
Overall:
The show presents the old concept in a new light. It attempts to inspire the audience by the interesting journey of Kanchan and Vishesh. The characters will surely be loved for their wonderful ideologies. Its a good and promising attempt by And Tv.
