Sanjog Se Bani Sangini : Opening Review

Sanjog Se Bani Sangini, Zee TV and DJ's Creative Unit's newest offering to tellydom, opens in its very first week as a love story a la Devdas, but with a twist. Having aired for so short a time-span, Sangini is proving to be everything its makers might have hoped for, as it is gathering a very good initial response from the audience. And we at Telly Tadka would like to add that we quite agree with everyone meting out the appreciation.

Set against a stunning outdoor backdrop are quite a few familiar faces, each and every one of whom lives up to the talent attributed to them, and some new faces, who bring promise of even more. Iqbal Khan and Additi Gupta do very well as Rudra and Pihu, and blend beautifully on screen. Credit must be accorded to the creative team and its writers, for building individual characters as well as a relationship so complex and so well in such little time. Rudra is possessive, egoistic, assertive, and to match him, Pihu has an ego of her own, tinged with confusion, stubbornness, and perhaps even a little immaturity. Their relationship, nurtured over a lifetime of friendship, is playful, mischievous, passionate, and thoroughly unpredictable. They love each other, but also have egos and communication issues that have been the bane of ever so many relationships through the ages. Their reactions are always extreme, and their story seems perfect until, well, it isn't. The sudden break right before the wedding shatters Rudra, and leads him along to the Devdas route : dissolution of the unbearable pain in alcohol, intoxication, delirium…

With the past thus bearing down like a shroud upon Rudra's present, in comes Gauri, the steadfast, responsible, compassionate and very talented young woman played by newbie Binny Sharma, who surprises you with what she can do on screen despite your having been witness to her prowess on Dance India Dance Season 2. There's something very level, and grounded about her presence, that helps to mould Gauri in a viewer's senses very subtly, and very well. Meant to be modeled on Chandramukhi (albeit debatably, might we add), Gauri's talent lies in singing and it is her music that draws Rudra towards her, as it permeates through his pain the very first time he hears her voice.

What is most striking about the show is that there is already a sense of anticipation that runs like an undercurrent through all the episodes. They impart a very strong sense that though the present has gained only loss from the past, there may still be a happy future ahead. This is where one would then hope to see the 'twist' being doctored to the tragedy that lies at the heart of such a beginning, by turning it into a tale of second chances given to people, to the world, to love, and to life.

All the members of the cast do well in their given parts. Special mention to the two veteran ladies quite at the helm of affairs thus far, Aroona Irani and Sudha Chandran, who portray the rich, shrewd and manipulative Rajrani, and the righteous and fun Nani to Gauri
respectively, with sheer perfection. The other characters that leave a special mark even in so short a time, include Rudra's sister-in-law, Abhay, Pihu's husband-to-be, and Gauri's careworn mother.

Being a show fresh from the oven, as it were, Sangini leaves quite an impression in its very first week. The characters, actors, script as well as the teamwork that goes into handling the storyline, everything speaks in the show's favour so far. We hope the coming episodes live
up to such a good beginning, and serve to confirm the first humble surmise of an average viewer: that this show is worth a watch. Most definitely.

A very well written review. Haven't read one so well written in a long while. The author has managed to capture and touch every important character and that too without going into too much detail. Am glad Sangini's got two good reviews already hope this will translate into ratings also. It is a good team work and it shows.
