"Femme Fatale" is considered a dangerous term for men, because the moment they meet such a woman they are ought to fall in a deadly trap. One such femme fatale on Indian TV is Durga Thakur who has come down to Kolkata only with the objective of destroying Shaurya Goenka. However, Durga is not a vamp but a protagonist who seeks revenge by exposing Shaurya, the rapist.
So lets take a deeper look on way is this show a must watch.

It's different

Most of the Indian Television series, whether historical drama or fictional daily soaps revolves around the same path - love story, marriage, in laws, a common enemy etc etc etc. However, Ek Haseena Thi is not about an abla naari or her constant problems with her mother in law. It is the story of a modern young woman who wants to take revenge, not for herself but for a rape victim, her sister.

The Story is Well Executed and Does Not Drag

The sequential plot of the serial is not only well framed but also well executed. The perfect blend of the present and past in a single frame makes the serial interesting. Besides, the presentation as well as narration adds as an icing on the cake. Needless to say, not even once will you feel that the story is being dragged.

Because of the Stellar Performances by the Brilliant Actors

Simone Singh in a negative role as Sakshi Goenka is the surprise package. Her screen presence for a change will not let you sympathize with her, like you might have done with her character in the past. Sanjeeda Sheikh, as usual gets you addicted to the show with her power-packed performance. No wonder, the beauty mesmerizes the viewers with her marvelous charm. Even the young spoilt brat Shaurya aka Vatsal Seth grabs huge eyeballs for his role as a player and womanizer.

The Mystery Factor

We all like a bit of mystery, isn't it? However unlike the daily soaps where the mystery is all about the vamp and her conspiracies, this one comes with a great amount of turns and twists. With a right amount of mystery masala and enigmatic situations, the show manages to bring the chills down the spine.

The Strong Protagonist

One of the best part of Cinevista's Ek Haseena Thi is that the show portrays a real woman unlike Ekta Kapoor utopian goody-goody woman who will never move outside her boundaries to prove her point, but will face all the adversaries that are forced on her. Here, Durga with a calculative mind won't think twice before leaving the right path to get into the roots of the dark side. However, being modest she always remain within the limits of humanity, harming only the cruel.

Thank you. I really like the last point . It is no show of a goody-goody protagonist like Gopi, Tulsi or some simple small town girl it is of a strong female protagonist.

All your reasons are valid why this show is a must watch.

It is indeed a pleasure to see a woman that is strong and focused in her mission to get justice for her sister and avenge the wrong done to her whole family.

The Goenka's are power hungry and quite smug in the belief that they are capable of
taking care of anybody that comes close to hurting them.

And it is this tug of wits between Durga and the Goenka's , especially Shakshi is
addictive and keeps one coming back everyday.

The suspense of wanting to see how Durga will achieve her goal to get even with the Evil Trio is the best part.

And yes, the cast are all superb in the emoting of their particular characters.

Yes your last point is the major reason I am watching the show. Durga is not a door mat who will suffer anything in the name of family, sanskaar blah blah, she will go any length to prove her point, to get justice that was denied to her sister.
