Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Saraswatichandra' on Star

👏👏 I am really happy that television is being taken seriously by filmmakers. Truly looking forward to the serial - trailer looks like a mixture of devdas and hddcs... what do you guys, think? will it work ?

The perfectionist producer-director is back making larger than life love stories, but this time it's for television. It's obviously a big thing for Sanjay Leela Bhansali to take a break from movies and do something else, but his debut TV show is nothing less than an extravagant and expensive movie. It is confirmed that Gautam Rode, who is currently hosting Nach Baliye 5, and Jennifer Winget will be playing the main leads in SLB's Saraswatichandra, an epic love story.

The story seems kind of outdated, unless they changed it up.

Jokes apart its a tragic love story...a theme beloved to SLB. Guy and girl fall in love through an exchange of letters and he promises to marry her. But the boy's stepmother throws a spanner in the works and fills his ears against the girl and her family. Boy ditches girl and she is forced to marry someone else.

Boy comes to know the truth a few year later and out of guilt, goes looking for the girl only to see that she is trapped in an abusive, unhappy marriage. Since the novel was written in the late 19th century, there was no question of the woman leaving her husband and hence the ex-lover sets out to reform the husband and reunite him with his silently suffering wife.
