#PromoReview: 'Porus' is the EPIC war drama that we have been waiting for!
Sony TV and Swastik Productions have teamed up to present the historic story of Alexander The Great and Porus. And looks like roping in Rohit Purohit to play Alexander and Laksh Lalwani to play the titular role of Porus has lived up to the mark as the promo suggests. With as big as the promo showcases things to be, we are in for an epic tale -
What is the promo about?
The story of Alexander and Porus dates back to 350 B.C.
...where India is shown as a country that has remained untouched by invaders.
The promo first introduces us to Alexander The Great and how he aims to conquer the 'Sone Ki Chidiya - Bharat.'
And all too soon, the voice over introduces us to Porus, who successfully prevents Alexander from not only conquering India but also successfully driving him out of the country.
What we liked:
The makers have invested a lot into the show and have shot it on a grand scale at mesmerising locations. And the portions that haven't been shot at real locations can boast of excellent VFX which just brings the scenes to life.
We were particularly floored by Rohit Purohit's look as Alexander The Great. Along with Rohit's costume, the shot in which the makers have focused on Rohit's eyes is absolutely gripping.
With something so epic and massive being showcased in a mere few seconds, there is nothing bad that can be nitpicked from the promo.
Verdict:
The first promo of Porus has raised our expectation levels even more and we eagerly await the second one. Even though it has an ensemble cast, the lead roles of Porus and Alexander assigned to Laksh Lalwani and Rohit Purohit respectively seem tailor made. It certainly can be called the epic war drama we have been waiting for.
