Pushpavali

Director Debbie Rao does a splendid job of bringing out the parts of humour and sadness in the drama series Pushpavali, The Amazon Prime Original. This comedy-drama with Sumukhi Suresh, Manish Anand, Naveen Richard, Urooj Ashfaq, Ashok Pathak, and Preetika Chawla as the chief star cast touch extremes with their impeccable acting skills and creates a cause of sensation amongst the audience.

Well-written, quick-paced and packed with fairly decent acting, the first season consists of eight episodes. Unlike many other web-series targeted at youth with relatable content that mark the surface of relationship dramas, this is notably different with a scratch of a relationship mismatch. It’s a mismatch as the character, Pushpavali lives in delusion.

The first season right from episode one, proffers the viewer cringe at the lead’s actions but also it directs the spectator delve deeper into her psyche. The protagonist raised in a certain way where her mother keeps pinpointing her flaws, aiming only to land her daughter into a good marriage adds impact to the theme of the show.

The entire show revolves around one focal point–Pushpavali’s harmless infatuation for the charming Bhindi exporter, Nikhil Rao turning into an obsession. From stealing Nikhil’s dog to fracturing her leg to get his care, Pushpavali sets herself up to be disconcerted and ashamed by everyone around her.

Summing up, Pushpavali is a show, which makes an impression because of its diverse storyline. It plays around a theme of morality and obsessiveness. The passionate acting of Sumukhi Suresh makes up for other minute flaws in the show.
