Hello my Prithvi Vallabh Fam🤗
Finally the D-Day arrived when the storm by the name of Prithvi Vallabh has knocked on our TV screens.And it literally blew me away
The episode begins with Mrinal the Princess of Manyakhet riding along the seashore with a firm resolve in her eyes.She reminisces about how her entire family was massacred by Singhdant the King of Malwa.After that she swore an oath of vengeance and dedicated her life to her brother Tailap.
Mrinal and her brother Tailap engage in a battle with a rival kingdom before realising their strategy to use hired mercenaries from Africa.They turn the tide in their favour by eliminating their rivals and securing the allegiance of the mercenaries.
Meanwhile in Malwa,the formerly ruthless Singhdant is wrecked with guilt.The face of the kid Mrinal still haunts him.He has given up war and now advocates peace.However tension prevails in his own family in form of a rivalry between his biological son Sindhuraj and his elder adoptive son Munj aka Prithvi Vallabh.Singhdant sees the future of Malwa in Prithvi but Sindhuraj refuses to accept it.
Then we are introduced to the titular character and protagonist Prithvi Vallabh also known as Munj who is a lover of nature and poetry.He makes his way through the forests into the abode of banjaaras where he partakes in their celebration.However this is short lived as the African mercenaries launch a surprise attack.Prithvi fights them off and sends the corpses back to Manyakhet.The episode ends with Mrinal getting to hear the name of Prithvi Vallabh.
What I Loved About The Show:
1.As a viewer of ITV I am used to superficial elements like the hero making his entry in full on dramatic Bollywood style.😆
However here to my pleasant surprise both the protagonists made their entry in a subtle and yet impactful manner.One walked into a deserted fort while the other was walking in the forests.
2.They used a translator to communicate with the African mercenaries which I found interesting and realistic too.
3.When Vallabh fought the mercenary leader he didn't defeat him directly like a superhuman.At a point he too was getting overpowered but he recovered soon and delivered a crushing defeat to the mercenary.
4.ASHISH SHARMA AND SONARIKA BHADORIA 👏👏❤️Take a bow.Awesome,stellar,mindblowing,out of the box.All the adjectives will be an understatement
Hats off to Mr Anirudh Pathak for giving Indian Television something it really needed.👏👏
