For example while asking for an alternative necklace, she says Rajmata ka choker laya jai (Bring Rajmata’s pearl choker)instead of just saying mera/humara (bring my pearl choker).

Rana Indravadan Singh Deo (Siddharth Karnick) is the prodigal heir to the throne of Amerkoth, which he runs with assistance from his mother, Rajmata Priyamvada (Anita Raj) and their loyal staff. The first week of the show quickly set up the main and supporting cast. The period drama opens with a rather extended sequence that is heavily inspired from Ashutosh Gowariker’s films complete with a deep baritone voiceover and a lot of sorry looking white skinned extras.

READ: TV Series Review: Swaragini- A rather besura composition The set and production design definitely get a thumbs up in this tale of Raja mopes-a -lot and his he ‘loves me-loves me not’ Rani Gayatri devi. A lot of research and effort has gone in into creating the look and feel of a period drama set in pre independence India. The show is mounted on a grand scale with lovely shots of a palace, flowing staircases, chandeliers, stained glass doors and carved wooden furniture. Ek Tha Raja, Ek thi Rani, airs on Zee TV Mon-Fri at 9.30 pm and is produced by Sphere Origins who have earlier given us interesting shows like Gulaal, Saat Phere-Saloni ka safar, Jyoti and the immensely successful Balika Vadhu. But she seems to have a penchant for choosing roles where she has to spend about 6 months of air time, winning the heart of a man who is either depressed, misogynistic, abusive or an attractive combination of these three qualities. A few months ago, we were introduced to Gayatri, an innocent commoner who ends up marrying a bearded brooded king, who believe it or not hates her.ĭrashti Dhami is pretty girl with expressive eyes and more than average acting abilities. Then a few years later there was Madhu, an unassuming commoner married to a bipolar superstar who oscillated daily between loving and hating her. Once upon a time in a channel not so far away there was Geet, a helpless girl who falls in love with a brooding bearded man who seems unattainable.
