Episodes
Story:
Pavitra
Rishta
2
is
a
romantic
family
drama
which
revolves
around
Manav
and
Archana,
the
quintessential
daughter-in-law
and
son
of
every
Indian
family,
and
their
two
typical
middle-class
families.
Their
love
story
begins
from
where
it
was
forced
to
end
as
the
couple
is
conned
into
the
sacred
union
of
marriage
by
their
families.
Review:
The
story
begins
with
Manav
helping
Archana,
who
is
struggling
in
rain.
Later,
the
fate
bring
them
together
as
they
work
in
the
same
street.
While
Archana
works
in
a
coffee
shop,
Manav
is
a
working
mechanic.
While
Manav's
mother
want
some
one
rich
for
her
son,
Archana's
mother
is
hell-bent
to
get
her
a
right
groom.
Archana's
wedding
breaks
not
ones
but
twice!
While
Satish's
mother
breaks
engagement
because
of
the
mistake
that
Archana
did
even
do,
Archana's
mother
breaks
her
wedding
with
Manav
as
his
mother
lied
to
Archana's
family
about
his
profession.
Archana's
mother
continues
to
search
her
perfect
man,
without
even
asking
her
about
her
feelings.
Archana
and
Manav,
who
love
each
other
immensely
hide
their
feelings
from
each
other
and
families.
They
are
torn
between
their
families
and
love.
Just
when
Archana
realises
her
love
for
Manav
and
goes
to
express
her
love,
a
disaster
breaks
them
apart.
Will
the
duo
ever
reunite?
Performances:
Ankita
Lokhande
is
excellent
as
Archana.
As
everyone
knows,
all
eyes
are
on
Shaheer
Sheikh
as
he
is
taking
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
legacy
forward.
Although
no
one
can
replace
Sushant
as
Manav
(and
one
who
has
watched
Pavitra
Rishta
on
television
and
can't
stop
but
compare
Shaheer
with
Sushant),
Shaheer
has
done
a
great
job.
Shaheer
has
the
same
innocence
in
his
face
that
the
character
needs
and
he
has
nailed
it.
Usha
Nadkarni
(as
Manav's
mother),
Randeep
Rai
(as
Manav's
brother),
Asheema
Vardaan
(as
Manav's
brother's
girlfriend),
and
other
actors
too
have
done
a
great
job.
Verdict:
Archana
and
Manav's
love
story
has
nothing
new
to
offer
(at
least
the
first
eight
episodes),
except
that
the
makers
have
brought
a
fresh
pairing
on-board,
there
are
a
few
improvisations
and
everything
(events)
happen
fast
(is
not
dragged).
This
show
takes
you
back
to
old
days!
And
one
who
has
watched
Pavitra
Rishta
on
television
can
predict
what
will
happen
next,
and
they
won't
be
able
to
stop
comparing
the
old
and
new
seasons!
If
you
love
to
go
back
to
good
old
days;
if
you
love
'Mumbai
rain' and
'chai';
if
you
like
love
stories;
and
lastly,
if
you
love
Ankita-Shaheer's
jodi,
then
go
for
it!
