Television Czarina Ekta Kapoor’s newest offering Kawach (Balaji Telefilms) on Colors created much buzz in the media since the time of its announcement.

Starring biggies like Mona Singh, Maheck Chahal, Vivek Dahiya, Ashwini Kalsekar and many others, Kawach promises to explore the world of supernatural in a never seen before manner.

With the hope of witnessing something unexplored and uncanny, as we kept an eye on the opening weekend of the biweekly drama, the show seemed to deliver an eerie plot indeed.

Contrary to other show makers, Ekta, nowadays, is focusing on strong women protagonists, who have their own career apart from possessing the skills of home making. Continuing with the trend, once again she presented Paridhi aka Mona Singh, who is an archaeologist by profession. Without much doubt, Mona did a decent job on her part. So, did Vivek Dahiya aka Rajbir Bundela as Mona’s fiancé. The one who came as a surprise package was Mahek Chahhal, who did absolute justice to her role as Manjulika, the evil aatma. Not to forget she looked amazing sexy and scary in her new look.

For the rest of the cast, seemed to have tried pretty hard to enact their Rajasthani characters. Unfortunately they couldn’t succeed much with their Punbabi accented Rajasthani making up for most of the dialogues. Seems like the makers cannot have enough of the Punjabi happy family.

Coming to the concept, it mostly disappointed us as the show has nothing new to offer for the loyal viewers of Balaji Telefilms, who have already enjoyed its shows like Kya Hadsaa Kya Haqeeqat and Mano Ya Na Mano.

Word of appreciation for the cinematography and visual effects team, who did a commendable job as they successfully created the spooky environment all along through the two episodes. It will rather be unfair to not mention the music team. Like every Balaji show, the background score perfectly complements every scene on screen.

Apart from the production team’s hard work what else can a viewer look forward in this show? Well Mona and Vivek’s fresh pairing is surely something to watch out for. And till now, we have only heard the voice over of Ashiwini Kalsekar. Knowing her potential as a stunning performer, we are looking forward to her entry for sure. And how can we forget Maheck, who is all set to give us sleepless nights hereon.

After witnessing history with Naagin, we are confident the makers will add the right elements to give another successful series to viewers. With horror being presented in a novel way, we are expectant of some more dhamakedar twists and turns and of course all the ‘raaz’ being solved!

On the whole, Kawach can be an entertaining watch on lazy weekend evenings with a cup of hot tea and some snacks...perfect for the coming monsoon time..Boo!!!
