i have been watching the show from the beginning and I have to say this is one of the most unique shows in Indian television at present. So what is different about it?

First of all, a hero with questionable attitudes and morals. He is prepared to use his own family to win the election. And why does he want to win so badly . It's not altogether altruistic, it's revenge he is after. His motive is understandable and the quote often mistakenly attributed to Machiavelli is apt here. The end justifies the means

Sadhana Bhabhi is not a damsel in distress here. Unlike the majority of the mums and Bhabhis in Hindi shows, Saadhna is practical and will support Vijay. She doesn't try to talk him out of his plans and doesn't lecture him on morality and Karma and Dharam.

The two antagonists. The chief minister has a heart as dark as his attire is white. But it is such a car edible character and does not become just a cliched take on politicians. He schemes and plans and again has no qualms about using whatever means to get what he wants

Pankaj Choudhury. The way he uses menace when dealing with Vijay and his servitude to the CM .

The supporting characters are all coming into their own as well . The motor mouth brother in law,, Mrs CM -loud and crass, Shelaji- if looks could kill, half the people in CMs mansion would be dead by now.
Gayathri-clearly a victim of domestic violence but good to see that her family didn't leave her with her in laws to suffer.

The romance is kept to a bare minimum and that's fine. So far the weakest character is Mandira, hope it changes in the future.

The acting is above par especially Bhanu Udhay and actor playing the CM.

It's refreshing to see a show that is not a family drama or a love triangle infused with revenge, retro ghosts or regressive chauvinistic males

This is not a review of the show but just my viewpoint.

Am glad how the makers are trying to strike a balance between showing Vijay's personal and professional life.

Just have one request to the makers though that yes it is a fictional show and certain liberties ought to be taken but it would be nice if we see the CM doing some work for his state too apart from simply planning and plotting against Vijay. CM must be having certain authorities above him too who would want him to be answerable for losing the seat at Kaushalpur? Or is he the Sonia Gandhi of his party, the be all and end all of his party workers 😆

Or maybe the whole point of showing the CM do nothing is to show why he shouldn't be the CM in the first place and Vijay should climb up the ladders of success ASAP 😆


Either ways am enjoying the character of Baba a lot ! Even his staff member Sheila ji and his brother-in-law are such good actors.
