Here is our review of MTV's newest fantasy fiction show
We have seen quite a few supernatural shows involving vampires and werewolves on Indian television, but MTV Fanaah - An Impossible Love story, which features small screen's most popular faces including Karan Kundra, Anita Hassanandani, Ratan Rajput and Rithvik Dhanjani promised to be different from all the previous shows of this genre. So did it live up to it's promises and the audiences expectations? We find out...
What's it about: The show starts on a rather interesting note as each and every character is introduced to the viewers one by one. However, not every character is introduced right away. But going by the trailers, all we can say is that Fanaah involves a passionate love triangle, which will ultimately be revealed in the coming episodes. Though not much of the story was unveiled in the pilot episode, but from the promos, it's quite obvious that Karan plays a vampire, while Rithvik, who will be seen in the show much later is a werewolf. Chetna Pande is the damsel in distress, caught between the two.
What's hot: The youth oriented show features several popular and young faces from TV, who will indeed connect well with the Gen Y. All the characters in the show seem to be grey, which makes it stand out from those routine serials which portray characters as heroes and villains. We can't really say that the show is of international standards, but the way it has been shot makes it high on production value.
What's not: The narration has a time lapse in it, which makes the story telling a bit complex. So by the time the first comes to an end, you are just left thinking, "What the hell did I just see!". You can't afford to miss a single episode, otherwise you will just lose the plot.
All said an done, MTV Fanaah was not bad a watch. It involves a very intruging plot, which will indeed keep the viewers hooked. So if you are a fan of supernatural sagas, you should give it a watch. Also don't compare it with other supernatural shows from the West like The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf among many others coz if you do so, you will be disappointed.
