Fareedanjaan: The Challenger Returns

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has chosen to narrate an untold story that is a dark reality of the pre partition Indian culture. Movies like Umraojaan were only a teaser of how the sex workers were glorified as 'Tavaifs' but their ordeals were no less. I'm reading a lot of comments that are throwing a negative light on the series, however after watching the drama I think the director has done a great job. The narrative is great but the choice of certain actors could have been different. A lot of new faces sometimes leave audience confused and judgemental of the performance despite the fact that they are doing justice to the role. In such series with multiple protagonists, we as viewers agree and relate with one character more than the other. This leaves room for critics and viewers to increased number of opinionated reviews. Overall, the series is a great entertainment and will pick up viewership in the due course of time.
