Shaktimaan

Have watched this show multiple times. Can watch it for more.

Talking about Shaktimaan, it is one of the best TV series of India. I got compelled to review the series by watching a negative review here.I don't have any idea how someone can find Shaktiman bad. It has got superhero, a heroin(Geeta Vishwas) and funny hero (Gangadhar) and also Dr. Jackal and Kilwish. Acting was good effects were okay for that time(and they haven't improved yet in India) .Overall it was too much fun to avoid. Surely if anyone watches it today they may find it bit bizarre but it was awesome at the it was aired. Indian small kids may never what a great series they missed. Also a special mention for the Kaladungapur Jungle episodes where we got a villain who was similar to Arnlod's Predator, those episodes were very very awesome.

It amazes me how an excellent superhero stuff was made in the 90's with almost very little technical help. The visual effects were bad as compared to today's vfx world but it was brilliant as compared to the visual effects of the 90's.

Mukesh Khanna was like the superhero of Indian Television. First it was his character Bheeshma in Mahabharata and now in Shaktiman, he was just brilliant in both of them.

Story, concept, theme music, the characters, all the aspects of this show was brilliant. Mukesh Khanna as Shaktiman and Gangadhar was exceptionally brilliant. Vaishnavi as Geeta Vishwas, and the Surendra Pal as Tamraj Kilvish were brilliant in their part. Tom Alter was my personal favourite.

Kids from the 90's still remember the characters name like Kilvish, Dr Jaikal, gangadhar and Shaktiman. Till now people often quote the dialouges of Shaktiman.

Shaktiman was the first Indian Superhero and perhaps the best Indian Superhero story till date.

The power of Shaktimaan is his Truth. That's why children made him Role model.

Shaktimaan is the only serial, I think had lots of learning messages. It had great story lines and great messages for kids and all. We watched it with all our attentions and hearts in it on Sundays (started in Saturdays in the beginning). Main important part of any serial is not the graphics, as many of today's serials have very high quality graphics but with a very poor or cheap story behind. Mahabharat, Ramayan, Shaktimaan and few other serials of that times are still great not because of their graphics of course but because of their direction and great messages towards the viewers. The fact is I still watch all those serials in Youtube and don't find any other serial of present times with so called high quality graphics more interesting and with greater messages than those master pieces of 90s.
