5 Reasons Why We Loved Rajeev Khandelwal and Kritika Kamra's 'Reporter

The first episode of "Reporters" clears the rumors that the show is inspired from the international series - The Newsroom, but it definitely offers something interesting for the Indian audiences to watch which is different from the saas bahu sagas. Rajeev Khandelwal and Kritika Kamra's Reporters can easily be benchmark for future shows, who hope to do something different and creative without getting in the rut.

Here are five reasons why the show really impressed us...

1) Rajeev Khandelwal's comeback to television with this show has been a wise decision. After doing shows like Kahiin Toh Hogaa and Left Right Left, nothing short of perfection is expected from the talented actor. Thankfully the actor delivered that with his performance as Kabir Sharma in Reporters. He exuded a character who is a perfectionist and an ambitious like it's really him.

2) After doing "Kuch Toh Loh Kahenge" and "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa," Krtika had sort of vanished from the face of the earth. When we spoke to her recently, Kritika said, "I am being very choosy with the kind of roles I pick up next. I don't want to do the same thing over and over again. Unless something really challenging comes my way, I don't want to come back to TV." Looks like she stuck to her word. Kritika as Ananya is strong headed, fearless and intuitive, but also very impulsive. The actress portrays the desperation to achieve the impossible and challenging with utmost ease. Clearly it was worth the wait to see Kritika play this role.

3) The storyline is not about what's really happening in the world - so there is no gyaan and no preaching. The show concentrated on the kind of drama that goes on in a newsroom and how stories affect the life of these journalists, the owners, investors and almost everyone behind the camera.

4) The prospect that the show will talk about office romance, politics, hierarchy, gossip and daily drama in the news agency is definitely exciting.

Goldie Behl who decided to come on board as the director of the show has not gone over the top with his filming. He kept it very real and as authentic as possible. The look and the feel of the show is very international something that is very rarely seen in Indian daily soaps.

5) Besides keeping it real, we love Ananya and Kabir's dressing sense in the show. While it's is true that reporters have now become very glamorous, we liked that Kritika's character takes the effort to look different and in with time and fashion. As for Rajeev, well we doubt the actor has ever looks so suave and sexy before.

"Reporters" airs on Sony TV from Monday to Friday at 9 pm.
