PromoReview: ‘Ikyawann’ with Prachi Tehlan as the GROWN-UP promises a breath of fresh air!

Ikyaawan on Star Plus tells the story of Parekh family where 50 generations have been blessed with a baby boy, and unlike what is generally shown on TV, this family has been waiting for a girl child to take birth.

It is the 51st generation of the family that is finally blessed with a girl child. This however is followed by the girl losing her mother, post which it is her father and his brothers that manage to take care of her.

What is it about?

The second promo of the show portrays the grown-up Susheel (Prachi Tehlan) and how she has been brought up by the 4 men of the family. From the very start, they struggle to induce any of the feminine qualities in her which gradually leads her into becoming what we know of as a tomboy.

A cricket bat over teddy bears and a jeans top over lehengas and suits, the story of Susheel is indeed twisted and yet, quite simple. Read as we analyse how the second promo of the show continues to keep up with what the first brought in for us.

The Good

For starters, we love how a show has been made where it is the girl child that is waited upon to be brought into this world, and not killed. The Nayi Soch, here, is quite evident and deserves all the appreciation.

The portrayal of the first female in a family that has had generations of males is evidently funny, but at the same time commendable.

The not so good:

Not too much to not dislike, despite all the highs that the promo has in store for us, it did turn into just another typical question of the society when, “Kaun karega isse shaadi’ was raised.

Verdict

Focusing on the positive and all the good that the show promises to bring for us in the form of this promo, we think that we might finally have a show that we’ll be proud of.
