With the stunning, yet apt ending of the coveted reality show Bigg Boss season 7, Colors launched two of its most awaited shows in the prime time slot of 9-10 p.m. yesterday.
Beintehaa' and Rangrasiya' had shown a lot of potential and promise with their hatke' concepts and fresh lead pairing. Yesterday, the channel marked the debut of both these shows.
While Beintehaa' is all set to showcase its larger than life drama on Colors at 9-9.30 slot, Rangrasiya' will mesmerize and charm with deserts and barren lands of Rann of Kutch and Birpur, Rajasthan, in the following time slot of 9.30-10 p.m. from Monday to Friday.
Beintehaa' began its setting in Bhopal, showing the effervescence and charm of the leading lady, who is better known as Aliya' in the show. Meanwhile, a rich and spoilt brat, her would-be life partner, is shown leading his larger than life portrait. With a Shahrukh Khan like entry on a helicopter, the show does seem to be a take on Bollywood's typical filmy introduction of the hero.
Although, the lead pair looks refreshing, there seems to be nothing new about the concept. The storyline looks too predictable, with the typical setting of a simple, kind girl, believing in love and relationships, who might eventually show the correct path to the rich and spoilt brat, whenever and however he enters her life.
Honestly, the audience does not need the same boring script in another setting by way of a different cultural household or city, but a refreshing and more relatable concept now.
Meanwhile, Rangrasiya' debuted with much more realistic feel and raw charm. With the introductory scene of a bus full of innocent villagers, including the female lead protagonist's parents, being gunned down by Bharat Suraksha Dal BSD and the traumatic impact on Paro, the show jabs a strong plot between the love and hate equation of the border denizens and BSD.
Showcasing a parallel world of Rudra, bereft of a mother, who has eloped with someone else, leaving him a life with a handicapped father and bitterness, the male lead Rudra's personality is also brought out as well crafted. After all, this would be the child, who will have strong reasons to shun every emotion associated with love.
Although, the sheer coincidental childhood meeting of Rudra and Paro looked a little clich, their young chemistry, looks very refreshing and dynamic compared to the pairing in Beintehaa'.
Paro aka Sanaya Irani looks stunning and so does Ashish Sharma as the BSF officer. He is dynamic and oozes raw sex appeal with his ruthlessness. The very idea of seeing a dashing handsome hunk, devoid of emotions, falling in love with an all-about-love Paro, is what will keep the audience glued to the screens in this time slot.
Colors channel has given us a lot of good love stories in the past, by way of several charismatic lead pairs and storylines. Let's just hope, the two shows leave a long lasting effect with their own style and stories. Stay tuned to learn about the love equations unfolding in the coming episodes and decide which one is your cup of tea.
