5 Reasons why we still miss Channel V's Paanch 5 Wrongs Make a Right.
Channel V is not the same anymore. Gone are the days when good shows used to air back to back. Paanch, Sadda Haq, O Gujariya, Jhalli Anjali, Confessions, and It's complicated. Channel V was a complete youthful show then. While Sadda Haq still has been entertaining its audience since long. The channel as a whole is running out of steam. The new shows that are mostly based on Romance and relationships do not really make us feel gaga over them. We miss the concept based shows on V that made it stand out from the crowd. Such a show was Paanch 5 Wrongs Make a Right. This show was an exception in terms of Television viewership. We give out 6 reasons that are enough to miss this amazing show and pray for its sequel.
1. Concept
Paanch had an appealing concept of 'Ragging'. Bullying is something everyone faces in life especially in Youthful times when we are surrounded with friends and circles. And sometimes it gets out of hand and take a toll on people's lives. Perhaps the first show that targeted especially on Ragging and the Channel team deserves an applause for it alone.
2. Strong Appeal
The show had a strong appeal of Revenge and Justice. The promos of the show were packed with Adrenaline making sure we have to go for it. The packaging of the show was indeed enticing and carved enough for a great entertainment value. There were no doubts.
3. Strong Cast
The show carried a bunch of Youngsters and it was a risk involving them in a show that required histrionics. Gladly almost everyone lived up to the expectations. Kiran Srinivas as the druggie was excellent and scared the hell out of us. Ronjini Chakraborty's Zara Ahmed Khan used to spill out 'Read My Lips' after every line of the corner was very amusing. Ditto for Shrey Pareek and Aashish Mehrotra who played Nihal and Yudi respectively. Of Course ! Not to forget Sheetal Singh who gave life to 'Roshni Kataria's character and became a role model for every girl standing up for Justice. A Special mention to Pratap Hada who played Gautam Laada in the most creepiest way possible.
However, It's the performance of Rashi Mal who played Gauri Laada in the most that still gives us goosebumps and the strongest reason to miss this show. She was absolutely brilliant. Perhaps, it was the first time that a Villainous character received so much of applause on TV. Indeed Gauri's character was physically demanding and challenging and any actress (Yes ! we are saying so) from today would have messed it up. Kudos to the casting team here. Rashi got the character so right that a never ending Impression has been left on everyone who watched her perform. It's both wonderful and scary for her. Scary is for the reason that she might have to look for a character where she can literary match up her skills with or go beyond Gauri to maintain that Impression.
4. Wednesdays and Thursdays aren't the same anymore :
Paanch gave us a reason to enjoy Wednesday Thursday, the two weekly days which aren't mostly fun. The feeling to just wait for the show used to annoy but also cheer us when the clock hits 6 pm. And we could enjoy the show. beaming updates on Social Media non stop. Sadly, those times are gone just like childhood memories and we miss it dearly.
5. Youth Issues :
The show besides dealing with ragging also dealt with a lot of Youth Issues like Drugs, MMS, Teen Sex, Smoking etc. The show also had some disturbing sequences which are not really suitable for younger audiences. The tone of the show went a little dark regarding showing the female lead plotted to be killed a couple of times. But these are few minor hiccups. The issues only sensationalized the show and made sure it hooks the viewership intact.
6. Dearth of Good Youthful shows :
This one we already said it, Paanch was a critical and commercial success. and that too as a biweekly finite series, this does prove that audiences are in to watch good content if given a chance. Despite a few shows, There isn't any content on Television. and Considering the current state of Television where Witches, Snakes are ruling it, Hoping for a good TV show is just about a miracle on can ask for.
That's it from our side. If you have something to tell us or contribute about your favourite show. Please write to us on youthtvindia@gmail.com who knows your story gets published in our next post. Keep Enjoying !
