"Pehredaar Piya"
Here is my Review of the serial Pahredaar piya
Pehredaar Piya Ki has been called everything from a regressive cringe-fest to a creepy concoction of stalking and child marriage. The show’s makers have us playing right into their promotional trickery. What is being sold in the name of a unique love story is one of Indian television’s most bizarre plots till date, with characters so unconvincing that guessing the show’s trajectory is a no brainer.
To begin with, Diya
(Tejaswi Prakash), an 18-year-old princess, is given the sole responsibility of
Ratan Banna(Afaan Khan), the
9-year-old heir to a supposedly enviable Rajput empire, one that he stands the
risk of losing his life over. Of course the only way for her to be able to
protect him is to be his wife.
I’ll give you a
moment alone with that logic.Why his
parents, the fading monarchs, didn’t appoint a valiant senapati, or Diya minus
the ‘wife’ tag, is something the show tries to justify, but does an annoyingly
lazy job of.
