The story is of a kingdom situated in medieval India. Needless to say, it will have grand sets and themes, which will be worth all the hype.
Women-centric show
The series is about a misogynist king and how one of his queens, is brave enough to take up the charge and retaliate against him. What follows next is a lot of action and the aim to overthrow the patriarchy. The series may draw parallels from the modern world since the theme is relatable to this day.
Amazing star cast
The series has a great star cast. It stars the established actor Annu Kapoor as the evil, misogynist king. Shilpa Shinde plays the role of the brave queen, and amazingly so. Milind Soman also has a very integral role. He plays the role of a third gender person, named Boris, who also dares to take a stand against the king and gives great action sequences. Shaheer Sheikh and Poulomi Das also play prominent roles that bring a revolution to the kingdom.
Grand costumes and sets
Since it is a period drama, everything, from sets to costumes, to make-up has to be designed intricately. And Paurashpur seems to have achieved that perfectly. The sets are beautiful and they look like chapters out of our history books. Also, the costumes of the characters depict that era aptly.
Action sequences
Paurashpur will have tons of action sequences. Considering it’s a period drama, warriors from an era, clashing swords and slashing throats, are always exhilarating to watch.
