Shaktimaan was the rebirth of Shri Satya who had formed the Suryanshi Sect after the war of the Mahabharata 7,500 years ago. Eventually he transformed into Shaktimaan. When the five natural elements of life, fire, earth, water, wind and sky invigorated his body, he gained superpowers from these elements. When evil was ruling the world, the Suryanshis chose him as the warrior to fight evil. Status Quo which no other indian superhero has been able to match except for maybe Chota Bheem which is nothing compared to the legend which was Shaktiman. There were several incidents of children being injured trying to repeat the stunts, so the actor MUKESH KHANNA took responsibility of teaching us good things to cash in on the widespread popularity of the show.Īll in all commenting about the quality of the show, it makes me laugh if i see it now, but it had its moments and had a very intriguing storyline which is etched onto our minds. Shaktiman is the first superhero that us Indians got, i knew no BATMANS or SUPERMANS before, Shaktiman was our hero, ideal and the only thing that DD 1 meant for us children. He was india's first superhero and had a huge fan following among the kids. However during 90's shaktimaan was the best thing that happened to indian kids. I am not really sure how would today's generation take shows like Shaktimaan as they have been habituated of high quality of animation and graphics. If there's ever a reboot, I'd expect the same powerful writing, strong performances, intense action sequences but with better CGI and more original ideas. As for today's kids, it might not to be impressive enough but has sufficient intense action and strong performances that make it worth a watch.

And oh, how could I forget the Superman inspiration? Nevertheless, it's a fun action series to watch for yesterday's kids and today's adults who would love to cherish those pleasant memories of watching India's one of the finest superheroes on the small screen. If you have seen any of the above mentioned films, you're bound to be very disappointed. Shaktimaan disappoints by proceeding more with the second one. Recreating a sequence based on a film is one thing and using the exact footage from that film to create a sequence is another thing. However, it's equally heartbreaking to discover a good amount of episodes have been copied from Hollywood movies such as First Blood, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Predator, X-Men and even the much loved Star Wars franchise etc. Shaktimaan also has a lot of positive messages to offer to kids, and that's another reason behind its success as a superhero series. Shaktimaan/Gangadhar and Geeta are the most memorable characters in the whole series, and the strong acting is a major reason behind that. Mukesh Khanna and Vaishnavi have given their finest here in terms of performances. Even though many sequences are overshadowed by a weak CGI, its the crisp writing that eventually comes to the rescue. Visual effects are fairly average but not too bad for the times it was released in. The efforts in the stunts can be seen, and I really liked how they pulled off many of them. Shaktimaan has power-packed action sequences. Mukesh Khanna is the biggest reason why Shaktimaan became what it is today, and there's a reason why this character has managed to exist beyond the series. Nostalgia is guaranteed while watching several episodes combining Shaktimaan's magical action sequences and Gangadhar's comedic escapades. Shaktimaan has been a memorable superhero since childhood.

Although I haven't seen each and every episode, I have seen a fairly high amount to review this TV series already.
