Story So Far:
The first scene introduces Devguru, who goes to the ghat for the Jal Samadhi, while his followers follow him. His assistant Bhavini understands him well. She requests him to stop. He asks his followers to go back, since he is going to immerse himself in the waters. He feels he has failed to find Devi since many years and now he can reach her only after death as a spirit. Iti is seen celebrating her birthday with her father Pankaj. Yug is seen enjoying the rains and cycling with friends. Iti turns scared when the kids wish her. Pankaj knows Iti’s mental state since his wife died.
He knows she is much depressed and none is able to help her. Pankaj is very much caring. He can do anything for Iti’s happiness. Yug wins the challenge and spends time with his friends. He tells them that he doesn’t like birds caged. He follows the caged birds to the birthday party. He wants to free them some how. Yug fools Savita Bua that he is also invited in the party. Pankaj has ordered the birds for Iti’s sake. Iti goes missing. Yug enjoys the food in the party. He hides under the table on seeing Savita. He finds Iti sitting there. He pinches her to make her speak. He soon realizes that she is the birthday girl.
Devguru gets into the water, recalling his past life and the accident that changed his life. He was breathless and then revived by Devimaa. He feels his duty has changed from then, he had to treat people spiritually. He gets a sketch of Iti in front of his eyes in the waters. He smiles and thinks she is Devimaa’s avatar. He decides to soon find her. Yuv frees the birds and proves his determination.
Our Take:
The first thing to be mentioned is the cast. A batch of brilliant actors put together in a wonderful heart-touching story. Like little Kulfi’s innocence touched hearts, Iti’s innocence will also appeal to the viewers. Though Hirva’s character Iti doesn’t get to speak much because of her traumatic muteness for a temporary period, she emotes by her eyes. Another child actor Jared Savaille playing the street-smart boy Yug does complete justice to his role. Hirva and Jared are much natural and would instantly connect with the mass audience.
Coming to the senior ones, Rahil Azam shines in his switching character of Shivraj and Devguru. He plays both the flashback and current characters so well, the smooth transitions between his distinct expressions are captivating. Since his first scene of the Jal Samadhi, the actor makes sure to keep the audience glued by his intriguing multi-layered character and performance. Rahil is the USP of the show. Sandeep Baswana playing Iti’s father Pankaj is perfect, having played fatherly roles many times on the small screen. Shruti Seth is back on TV after a long time and still looks fresh as strong and brave Bhavini. Supporting actors are decent.
Secondly, the characterizations are written so clean and sharp that the viewers would enjoy to see the friction between the strong ones. It will be interesting to watch when Devguru claims Iti as the Devi avatar, while Yug and Pankaj strongly oppose him against burdening Iti with the responsibilities of the universe and killing her childhood. Intriguing part will be Devguru convincing Iti for the big goals. Also, Shivraj’s past will open up and his love story will get known. The story has much potential with many angles to explore. Visuals are breathtaking meeting the reality. Dialogues, story pace and direction are powerful.
Overall:
A good concept and an amazing start to it. The strong portrayals will attract the viewers. A family entertainer with promising elements.
