Star Pravah's new political thriller Durva is scheduled to go on-air on 18 March. Earlier, the channel has experimented in genres like comedy, family drama, crime shows. Durva signals its foray into the political thriller genre. Durva is a story that depicts how people, even loved ones, are used as pawns in power games and are sacrificed for power and position. It is the story of an innocent girl who becomes a pawn in hands of people who wield power and play games with people who are near and dear to her. The Patil and the Kshirsagar family are two rival families of a political landscape in Satara. Both Kshirsagar and the doyen of Patil family, Anna, are at loggerheads for one single position in their party. Money being a very crucial factor in politics, local business tycoon Kishanlal Sarada becomes a key factor in changing the game.
