Our Take:

The story of a seven-year-old Kullfi is something refreshing to watch. Kullfi has a great talent of making a song on every situation. She finds music in everything. She needs a musical teacher who could realize and polish her talents. Kullfi’s character is well-written. The girl doesn’t know sorrow. She is full of joy, innocence and positivity. Kullfi’s journey to search for her father will be seeing a tide of emotions, drama and music. The show has all the factors to make it a good watch. The child artist Aakriti Sharma steals the show by her innocent appeal and spontaneity. She is very much natural in her role and delivers a close to real feel.

Mohit Malik has a good screen presence. He looks best as the singing sensation. His rockstar avatar will definitely make the viewers love him. Shruti Sharma, Myra Singh and Anjali Anand are fair in their portrayals. The village setup where Kullfi resides looks decently realistic. The show will be getting more interesting once Kullfi determines to become a singer. Also, there will be focus on Sikandar’s love, emotions and cause of betrayal. The father-daughter bonding will be amazing to watch once they meet.

Overall:

The show is about Kullfi’s innocence and her musical journey. One can give it a try and would definitely fall for adorable Kullfi. The USP of the show is Aakriti Sharma, who never lets any boring moment in. A good family entertainer.
