A good show after ages - Mukti Bandhan

Today, i couldn't stop myself from writing about a show which i feel has shown me the real entertaining power of media. There's this new show on Colors which has changed the way i used to think of the daily soaps,and classified the other soaps as literally 'stupid'.

Mukti Bandhan, which went on air in January, has been based on a famous novel called "Mukti Bandhan" by an eminent author. The show has some resemblence to real life characters,but what overpowers everything else is the story,the screenplay, and most importantly the teachings we often tend to forget,or not care about.

Mukti Bandhan is a story of an eminent industrialist Ishwar M. Virani, who hails from a very small town in Gujrat. Born in the family of a government school teacher, he battles lack of funding and poverty in his childhood. But later,as he sets out to Mumbai to chase his ambitions, he becomes one of the most prominent businessman in the nation But in the pursuit of this success,he starts forgetting the value of relations,and considers success evrything.
The soap depicts the continuous tussle between relations,career,success,status,fame, and relations. A brilliant show to catch on to.

This show has restored my faith in television and media. Otherwise, i had taken hindi entertainment channels 'stupid' for granted with their nonsense soaps.
