Sounds promising. Indian television needs more shows with strong female leads who aren't just victims. Hope the writing does justice to the concept and it doesn't fall into the usual melodramatic traps after a few weeks.
As an NRI who follows Indian shows online, I'm always happy to see content that portrays women in powerful, multi-dimensional roles. It's a positive step. Will definitely stream it on Sony LIV.
With a title like 'Vashikaranam', I was expecting something else entirely! 😅 But a show about a commanding woman sounds much better. Best of luck to the whole team.
Snehlata was brilliant as Soyrabai. She has the screen presence to pull off a powerful character. My mother and I are already planning to watch it together. Hope it lives up to the hype!
Respectfully, I hope the exploration of "the many shades" is genuine and not just a marketing tagline. Indian TV has a habit of starting strong with progressive themes but then reverting to regressive tropes for TRPs. Fingers crossed this is different.
