Shaktimaan serial was EPIC. there is no other in his comparison (its true). if you are an Indian and you have not seen shaktimaan then believe me you have missed something precious in life. Although its an old thing to watch. but mark my words "Bollywood has no such story till now". it story is decade away then those normal and almost same bollywood stories. and the most important thing about shaktimaan was that it taught so much to children of india and that's why shaktimaan was a love of 90's Generation. not only children but elders were also extremely inspired by him. we are going to talk upon this further. so first of all let's come straight to the point.
In this article I'll be giving Shaktimaan Review after watching almost 350 episodes of shaktimaan. obviously skipping dum things which you can find on google (ex:- Shaktimaan release date, shaktimaan's director name, shaktimaan cast etc.), i'll tell you that :- How i felt while watching it, was it really worth the same ? in todays time, what should be improved from my POV, so let's begin with this :-
Shaktimaan Serial's Storyline
The story of shaktimaan starts from the place where gangadhar get's his powers from panch bhoots (five elements of nature) Agani (fire), Panni (water), Dharti (earth), Hawa (air) and Akash (sky) in the presence his Guru and other sooryanshi peoples and he shaktimaan first time. and then his guru tell him about his real motive of life is to PAAP ka PRATIKAAR ( which means to erase the darkness or negativity inside the people without harming them physically) and his Guru showed him the path toward his karam bhomie (work place) and told him to live like a common man in a society. so that you can help the people and spread the message of TRUTH. and after that gangdhar went to an society and try to find and room to leave and at his first encounter only he realize that almost all people has became the victim of PAAP (darkness) for example his landloard who is charing him extra money + the cost of the room. but shaktimaan taught him a lesson. and then gangdhar joins an newspaper office as an Shayachitrakaar (Photographer). so that he can get to know first if any wired thing happens in the society. and there he meets our second lead character Miss. Geeta vishwas ( Vaishnavi Mac donald) a senior reporter. and from here the real journey of shaktimaan starts. and an smooth transition of villians begins from which Dr. Jaykaal ( Phaawooorrr... ) and Killvish are extremely popular because of there insane acting skills and the way killvish move his hand in front of his face 🔥. and tone of saying POWER of jaykaal 👏. these traits can't be copied or recreated by other actor not even in "Hamara hero shaktimaan" movie which is also made by shri mukesh khanna only. and its story also consist of pre-story (story of ranjit singh), future story and present story. and there are many cool feature and character in the story like Time travel, a character like PRAYTOOLAA (planet eater like galatus in mcu) etc. and by the way if you want to watch shaktimaan now then can watch it on :- Netflix, Airtel xstream app, Youtube. or if you want to know where is our beloved shaktimaan (Mukesh Khanna) is now days. then you must subscribe Mukesh Khanna's offical youtube channel :- Bheeshm international youtube channel.
What are the main reasons of shaktimaan's success ?
The Real reason behind the insane success of shaktimaan is not one but many. let me break it down for you in points below :-
- The concept of Shaktimaan is real in yogic science of india. and thus this motivates people to learn more about our golden past. which mostly every youth has forgotten in the race of modernization.
- The Suit of Shaktimaan is a Master piece from it looks as well as according to Yogic science. each part of the suit symbolizes the five elements of nature.
- A strong, beautiful, well connected and logical story.
- Incredible acting performance by Shaktimaan (Mukesh khanna sir), Geeta vishawas (Vaishnavi mam), Dr. Jaykaal (lalit parimoo) , Killvish (surendra pal) and everyone else specially "Ajj ki awaaz staff " 👏.
- Shaktimaan not only entertained people. but also Taught them a good lesson by include sections like :- body is temple.
How shaktimaan can be better ?
Shaktimaan has a power to change the fate of whole bollywood industry. but required some major changes by keeping present time and technology in mind. so let make it happen in simple points below :-
- Better VFX. obviously shaktimaan serial was started in 90's and it has VFX of that time only .
- By keeping the same cast. it would be really interesting to watch the new level of acting preformance.
- Better story as well as character detailing for example :- By giving more technical logic to Dr. Jaykaal's evil ideas. or even adding new creative ideas. and digging deep into yogic science give more strong foundation to logics of the story.
- Improving Cinematography skills (the short way of presenting the story or character). example :- KGF movie although storyline is normal but Cinematography is next level.
- Creating Shakitmaan Universe. i.e :- Extending story of a movie further into serial or an web series. and Making a separate movies on each character of shaktimaan like : - kapaala, shakkal, vidhut etc.
- Most important point by keeping "Happy Ending" here you will beat hollywood. for example : - if you let gangdhar and geeta vishwas marry each together and then show how shaktimaan manage his husband and social responsibilities together (interesting). what new difficulties or duty barriers he has to face.
Shaktimaan Fan's Following.
Shaktimaan has insane fan following. the children of 90's now want to show shaktimaan to their children's. and shaktimaan's fan have even paided tribute to him multiple times by remaking its epic shaktimaan title track. and they even convinced Shri. Mukesh khanna sir to bring back shaktimaan again either in the form of movie, web seriers or TV show. but i would say why not all. and muskesh sir is also very serious about it. and good news is that shaktimaan movie is hitting soon to box office to know more you can visit our article on Upcoming indian superheroes .
