The mythological show
tells the story of Lord
Shiva, right from his first
meeting with Sati, the
daughter of Prajapati
King Daksha and them
falling in love. The arrogant Daksha — who is a
devotee of Lord Vishnu
— in his hatred for Shiva,
however, vehemently
opposes their love and
refuses to let his daughter marry a wild ascetic,
that Shiva is. Sati herself
finds it impossible to forget him, but when
Daksha threatens to end
his life, a helpless Sati
decides to marry the
suitor of her father's
choice. Meanwhile,
Shiva too refuses to take
a human form to stop
the marriage preparations, but at the same
time feels distracted by
thoughts of Sati.
The mythological show
based on the life of the
Hindu God is no doubt a
treat for all Shivabhakts, but the USP of
the show is that it transcends those barriers
and makes for an interesting watch for everyone. There is anyway a
heightened interest in
the God of late. A family
bonder for sure, what
sets this show apart
from the other mythological fare is the treatment, which makes the
story relatable and easy
to follow.
Nikhil Sinha seems to
have brought in all his
expertise and experience of having directed
many mythological
shows in the past into
this one. A show of this
nature calls for extensive special effects and
the show doesn't lack on
that front at all. The costumes are impressive, a
credit that several
shows in the past
lacked. But the biggest
plus points are the
actors. Mohit Rana as
Shiva, Mouni Roy as Sati
and Surendra Pal as
Daksha fit their roles to
the tee. The show's pace
could've been faster
though. But overall, the
show makes for an interesting and entertaining
watch for sure.
