Sindhu, Krupa Sindhu: Period Dramas You Must Watch If You Loved Swarajyarakshak Sambhaji

History is a topic of fascination for everyone. Watching history unfold on screen is also an experience as we are transported into an era we have not lived in. These period dramas have also shaped our understanding of the significant historical events. Take for example the story of the Marathi king Chhatrapati Sambhaji in Swarajyarakshak Sambhaji. The tale of this brave king captured the interest of many and the show ran successfully for over two years before concluding.

Watch an episode of Swarajyarakshak Sambhaji here.

Swarajyarakshak Sambhaji was one of the most highly-rated shows on Zee Marathi which featured Dr Amol Kolhe as the protagonist  Sambhaji, whereas Prajakta Gaikwad played the role of his wife Maharani Yesubai. The show was about the Maratha king who dreamt of making his land free from external rule. Sambhaji fought valiantly against the Mughals and successfully managed to establish Swarajya in his reign. His tale of bravery will continue to inspire for generations to come. The legacy of Sambhaji Maharaj was portrayed beautifully on screen with equal weightage given to the forgotten history of the Marathas. The show stood the test of time and proved to be a work of art indeed. There are more such period dramas available on ZEE5 that are just perfect if you are looking for something to take you back in time.

Sindhu is a period drama that is set against the backdrop of the 19th century. The story unfolds itself through the journey of Sindhu who strives to break free from the orthodox notions set by society. The show has also shed light on various social evils like child marriage and caste discrimination that were prevalent during the era. Sindhu has also tried to present an accurate picture of that time through its brilliant set design, props, dialogues, and eye-catching costumes. Aside from this, the show boasts of many memorable characters played by Aditi Jaltare,  Gauri Kiran, Swanand Barve, and Shashwati Pimplikar that make it all more enjoyable. This popular show is now available for free on ZEE5 and we recommend that you binge-watch it ASAP.
