Story: Ekta Kapoor created Pavitra Rishta about 12 years ago. It featured Ankita Lokhande as Archana and Sushant Singh Rajput as Manav. The TV show narrated the love story of two star-crossed lovers. Sushant and Ankita as Manav and Archana impressed the audience and their chemistry is still etched into the hearts of the audience. And now again Ekta has brought back Manav and Archana with new star cast.
This romantic family drama revolves around Manav (Shaheer Sheikh) and Archana (Ankita Lokhande) love story and their families. 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 and Manav is a working mechanic which is opposite side of the road of coffee shop.
While Manav’s mother Savita(Usha Nadkarni) lives in chawl but wanted some one rich for her son. On the other hand Archana’s mother Sulochna (Suchita Banderkar) is hell-bent to get her a right groom. Fate brings both families together and Manav and Archana marriage fixed as Savita told that his son is manager in the Garage instead of mechanic.

Archana and Manav keep meeting in different circumstances and started to love each other immensely hide their feelings from each other and families. They are torn between their families and love.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I had watched the trailer of this series planned to watch in my free time because I have already Pavitra Rishta TV show way back in 2009 when late Sushant Singh Rajput was in lead role as Manav.
Pavitra Rishta 2 is a retelling of the 2009s TV show. It is a journey of Archana and Manav who have an unbreakable bond but are separated due to unforeseen circumstances and differences in families. Will Archana and Manav stand the test of time and how the dynamics of relationships affect their Pavitra Rishta forms the crux of the story.
It’s difficult to understand love but it’s not difficult to experience it. They say love conquers all but what if you have nothing to conquer at all. What if your life is as simple as a piece of blank paper and love makes it so complicated that you fail to read what is written on it? That’s the life of Archana and Manav the two souls who got to experience love but not understand it.
For those who have seen the original TV show, this is a refreshing take. The characters are the same, but the story is slightly altered to make it a web show. Every actor has stepped into the well-set characters effortlessly and immerses you in this new take on Pavitra Rishta. For those who are watching it first-time, the series is a good watch since you don’t have a prejudice about the characters and the storyline. It manages to tug at your heartstrings even if you have watched the original TV show.
Overall, the series takes us on a nostalgic and emotional journey with lots of melodrama. The TV show had a long run because millions loved it. So it is normal for fans to be concerned about whether the new version will be good or not. I think if the makers weren’t in a hurry, the series could’ve been better. Also, don’t get too worked up over the fact that there are only eight episodes. The final episode ends on a dramatic cliffhanger. My View on this web-series Highly Recommended.
