Power of Paanch

Worst acting from every elements specially Bella( whats her problem in actino, why cant she act like normal people)Pl if it cant be improved in acting, stop the show or recast. Bella is the worst of all, over acting, always negative, excited with trailer, thought will watch it and trust me, watched all the episodes (I know its on me only) but could not resist the Bella character. Other characters like, Ali, Baggu, Ranveer are decent actors, Asma and Tanu were great, it definitely could have been better with direction and story telling. Have only 1 question, even after seeing bella acting on camera, how did you even end up choosing her for this role, its like she speaks lava man. Baggu and Ali are cute and Rebel Ranveer demands for his place. Need improvisation in every corner, hope they come up with better direction and better cast. And pl change Bella, otherwise show will lose its viewers for sure.

Hope the characters improve the acting and deliver better show. We are investing our time, so, hope our reviews will be considered.

No words , these series is just made up to make the environment worst. Promoting college kids to move towards western culture only. Un-necessary , unrelated scenes added for the name of entertainment. Total time waste, and frustration pack. I would highly encourage everyone to give least rating and do not promote such series or movies in India.

⭐ Rating: 1/5 Introduction "Power of Paanch" is an Indian superhero series that attempts to bring environmental awareness through five young heroes controlling different elemental powers. While the concept is reminiscent of the classic Captain Planet, this series falls flat in almost every aspect-storytelling, visuals, acting, and overall execution. Instead of offering an engaging and original take on environmental themes, it comes across as a low-budget, unrealistic, and cliché-ridden attempt to cash in on nostalgia.

Unoriginal and Predictable Storyline Right from the beginning, it's evident that Power of Paanch is heavily inspired by (or blatantly copied from) Captain Planet. The premise revolves around five individuals, each representing an element-earth, water, fire, air, and spirit-coming together to fight environmental destruction and pollution.

However, unlike Captain Planet, which balanced adventure with important messages, Power of Paanch turns everything into a melodramatic, exaggerated Indian TV drama. The dialogues feel forced, the villains are cartoonish, and the over-the-top acting ruins any seriousness the show tries to portray. The so-called "eco-messages" are spoon-fed in a preachy manner rather than woven naturally into the plot.

Cheap Production Quality One of the biggest letdowns of Power of Paanch is its poor production quality. The special effects look outdated-reminiscent of early 2000s CGI, with noticeable green screen issues, awkward animation, and laughably bad action sequences. The transformation scenes, which should have been the most exciting part of the show, are uninspired and slow, making them hard to take seriously.

The costumes are another major disappointment. Instead of futuristic or modern superhero attire, the characters wear cheap, glittery outfits that look like they belong in a low-budget Bollywood fantasy film. Even their elemental powers look poorly designed, with fireballs and water blasts resembling basic PowerPoint animations.

Unrealistic and Over-the-Top Execution Indian superhero content often struggles with finding the right balance between mythology, realism, and fantasy, and Power of Paanch is no exception. The way the characters use their powers lacks logic-fire can suddenly burn only specific objects, water can heal wounds instantly, and wind can knock out enemies but leave allies unaffected. The show doesn't follow consistent rules for its own universe, making the whole premise feel unconvincing.

The dialogue is another weak point. Instead of natural conversations, the characters deliver overly dramatic monologues as if they are in a stage play. There's a constant background score that feels forced, trying to make scenes more intense than they actually are. Even the villains, who should be menacing, come across as comically bad with their exaggerated expressions and predictable schemes.

Comparison to Captain Planet If Power of Paanch was truly a tribute to Captain Planet, it could have at least introduced some originality. But instead of adapting the concept with a fresh Indian perspective, it just carbon-copies the structure while making everything worse.

In Captain Planet, the characters have distinct personalities and arcs. In Power of Paanch, they are one-dimensional stereotypes.

Captain Planet had memorable villains like Dr. Blight and Looten Plunder, while Power of Paanch has forgettable, overacting goons.

The environmental message in Captain Planet was delivered smartly, while Power of Paanch forces it in a way that feels childish and unrealistic.

Rather than modernizing or adding cultural depth, Power of Paanch turns everything into a loud, dramatic soap opera, removing any potential it might have had.

Final Verdict While the idea of an Indian superhero team promoting environmental awareness is great, Power of Paanch is a huge missed opportunity. The series lacks originality, creativity, and technical finesse, making it feel like a cheap rip-off rather than a meaningful adaptation.

The only reason someone might watch this show is for unintentional comedy-the bad CGI, cringeworthy acting, and ridiculous dialogues make it so bad that it's almost entertaining in a meme-worthy way.

If you're looking for a proper superhero series, stick to Captain Planet or even Indian superhero movies like Krrish. But if you're in the mood for some so-bad-it's-funny entertainment, then maybe Power of Paanch will provide some laughs.

🔚 Final Rating: 2/5 (Only because i enjoyed Captain planet a lot and got to see this again after 2 decades)

The trailer set high expectations, but unfortunately, the series fails to deliver on its promise. Instead of sticking to the core plot, the story constantly diverts, losing its essence along the way. The acting is below average, making it difficult to stay engaged.

The director seems more focused on adding unnecessary college drama and forced elements, like an LGBTQ subplot that has no real connection to the main story. These distractions take away from what could have been a compelling narrative. Overall, the series lacks depth and fails to live up to its initial promise.

Wouldn't recommend it.

Believe me but you will all notice that characters other than the mains in any 'Ekta Kapoor' series do such expression less acting. I guess she force them to do terrible acting so that main characters look little better.
