Must watch show
skdogra16 January 2023
The show is close to perfect, the star cast and acting from each character is just 10/10.

The show is on SONY ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION and like always, SONY has come up with different story line.

You might find the story line slow for initial episodes bht trust me it has no mellow drama like other daily soaps.

Aditi ved sharma is superb like always!!

Before she worked in SILSILA and ANGREJ movie, both the times her performance was tremendous.

I hope Katha and Vian get closer with the time.

Ehsan is a side character but really don't know what would be his in coming episodes.

Love Katha Ankahee!!

Something completely new to Indian television
abavikivaari17 February 2023
Over the years, Indian television has become nothing more than a mindless money generating business where creativity and storytelling have been pushed back.

This show comes like a breath of fresh air. The actors are so talented that even when they do not have any dialogues, they continue to emote the characters feeling through their eyes. It's rare to see such well rounded actors share the screen on itv. Aditi's portrayal of the plight of a single mother is inspiring and heartwarming. Adnan does a fantastic job at making the viewers understand each and every layer of guilt and pain in Viaan. While the chemistry between Aditi and Adnan is the cherry on the cake, the supporting cast leaves no stone unturned in making a mark. Azinkhya is fantastic as a child actor.

The musical score is fresh and soft, not overbearing like in typical Indian serials. The pacing is not too slow and not too fast. Every aspect of the story gets a balanced amount of screen time. There are no flashy and overt reactions displayed whatsoever. Everything is natural and flows beautifully.

If you are still deciding whether or not to give this show a chance, please go watch it right now. You'll definitely love it. Such shows deserve much more support in India and I'd love to see this show reach greater heights.

Very decent drama
yogeshptel16 January 2023
Katha Singh (Aditi Sharma) character is very pleasing. Story line capitulating and sober.

Generally, I don't watch hindi TV serials as they are social drama and family fighting. However, the role and character of Katha (Architect) is up-lifting.

Viaan has difficult role to play and he is doing the best.

The conversation between Katha and her son (Aarav) has caught my attention and so, I decided to watch it.

The dialogue and story line have high moral and sometimes touches to spirituality.

Aditi Sharma is single handedly carry this serial and showing difficulties of single mother and balancing career with family.

A must watch show.. Deserves 10/10..
chakravartyriti3 February 2023
The story, the acting of everyone especially the leads Adnan Khan and Aditi Devsharma is top-notch. They bring a different flavor in every scene they perform. The bgm has a very Turkish vibe to it... The cinematography, locations everything is very close to reality. The dialogue writers also has done an awesome job. There is no 5 panno ka bhasan, only real dialogue which general people use daily basis. Sony tv should be appreciated for bringing such a bold concept to itv and doing justice to it... Every character has its own backstory and nobody is totally positive or negative.. Like normal people the characters are also grey-shaded which gives a different touch to the whole show.

Very Beautiful Serial I Love Itt
MehdiRizvi-786725 February 2023
I've watched the real story as well... and this show somehow justifies it. So I really like this show... The concept is somehow relatable. The characters are plain yet complicated which gives a different dimension. The actors are doing an excellent job as well.

This is not "too dramatic" like any other Ekta Kapoor serial.

This has a nice plot, good characters, amazing music which sets the mood accordingly.so overall it is good.

After a long time I am watching good quality Indian series. Characters have played their roll very well. Heart touching scenes and dialogs.

So far this series do not have unnecessary drama or dialogs which makes it interesting to watch. Crisp and to the point

Good series to watch.

Such shows rarely graze Indian television screens
raoridingaroundss2 March 2023
Love is as simple as the feeling you get when you drink a cup of chai that happens to have just the right amount of sugar in it. This translated line from the show is enough to describe how beautifully it portrays bonds in its story. Everything flows poetically. There is not evil vamp who is pushing the female lead off of a building. There are no cheesy flashes and crazy background music when a character says something shocking. This show is absolutely beautiful and cannot be missed.

This show portrays rectification, grief, different forms of love, second chances, and gray characters. It truly is a breath of fresh air. All the actors have done splendidly.

We tend to complain but how illogical and cheesy Indian television is yet those are the same shows that get the highest TRPs. Please give your time and attention to shows like Katha Ankahee so that we can change the future of this industry in a way where we can get more and more shows of this sort.

Something Untold ; Something Bold
rayd-2513110 May 2023
The show is extremely sensitive from the storyline perspective. A viewer who judges it by the one angle parameter is plain stupid and lack maturity ! Every single person watching this show will understand what is the need to tell this story. This show represents deep, complex and unlikeable to likeable characters who are written in authorbacked mannerism. They are idealistic characters whose morality standards are very high but what happens when destiny challenges their moral grounds and they are forced to perform what they do not want to thats the story. It depicts not only a harsh reality but also how redemption works in you. The show represents a highly realistic modern today's world and challenges you need to fulfill in order to survive and keep your loved ones close to you. Katha is deeply impactful story to those who are about to commit crime, to those who are burning in guilt and also to those who need confidence to raise their voice against the wrong. The show gives an idea of a make believe world where you can actually fall for a person who did wrong to you if that person is genuinely living in the guilt. It shows you two sides of one coin. One side where you see the obvious criminal is always bad and another side where you see that all criminals are not bad. Now, the choice is yours whether to watch this show or not.

This show is perfect!!
hamiman4 April 2023
I don't know where to begin honestly. Katha Ankahee is just a perfect show. The cast is amazing. Each actor/actress plays their part the best they can and you can really feel that as the story goes on.

The background music gives me goosebumps every time. When a serious scene is happening, the background music with the violin playing just makes me feel so connected and drawn to that scene. Next thing you know I'm covered in goosebumps lol.

My favorite character has to be Adnan Khans character Viaan Raghuvanshi. There is just something about the way Adnan plays his character that leaves me feeling all amazed.

Sony needs to have more shows like Katha Ankahee. It's a show you definitely don't wanna miss out on!!

This show has everything
pratikshyafeb7 June 2023
This show talks about life, love, moving on, forgiveness, friendship, parenthood, respect in love.. How a heart can change for person you love.. How forgiveness and giving a chance can be beautiful, how accepting your deed makes you a better human.. The writing is way way way better than any show made in India till date.. Poetry that relates to the situation.. Aditi dev sharma is goddess of acting, she gives life to Katha and shades of Viaan beautifully performed by Adnan.. This show has some amazingly written women.. Katha Viaan will make you relive beautiful phases of love.. Above all the direction, lights, frames, screen are top notch compared to any other show you see in tv..

Unnecessary Twists
bankimtola27 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Katha serial being a turkish story is unparalleled. The actors are giving laudable performances. It was running well but suddenly the makers might have thought of lingering the show by inserting several unnecessary and disparaging twists may be for the sake of making money. But the viewers get dissappointed and irritated when they see the insertion of some twists which are irritating to watch. Why not the nobility of character of Katha as shown from the beginning is not maintained? Why it goes faltering while interacting with Vian. Nothing has gone out of way so far. Please maintain dignity of Katha by all means and never try to dilute it through her son Arab.

Not your usual Indian TV Soap
aakashkhairajani7 March 2023
10 episodes in, and I knew this wasn't the typical saas bahu or another forced love-hate-story shoven into our screens by directors and story writers who are clearly stuck in the Neanderthal period.

The setup is different, the language spoken has a millennial touch (again something fresh in ITV) and the lead actors are well aware of their jobs and there is some actual work happening here!! I don't know how accurately they have represented everyday life of an architect but it is aesthetically pleasant and feels great to watch.

Coming to the story, I felt there were a few cracks: it's understandable that viaan's character was modified to suit the target audience and a brilliant job there but in an attempt to make the character near to perfect in the first few episodes, and suddenly the condition he keeps before katha was something that I felt was not justified well enough. Even if he did, he shouldn't have completed the condition per day. I really wish they could have built that up a little more. Of course they have redeemed the character in the future episodes.

I am still on 30th episode and I'm glad the way they have taken the story so far. I hope they don't spoil it by converting it into a series with infinite number of episodes thus losing its basic storyline.

Definitely a great watch.

Edit : as of 9th November, I stopped watching the show since a month now, unnecessary dragging, useless storylines, no longer different from usual ITV soaps. Congratulations to the makers for successfully ruining such a wonderful show.

Edit: the show has finally ended on 1st December, got lucky to catch the last 5 episodes and what a finale!! I'm as blown away as I am teary eyed for the ultimate climax it ended with. Definitely made up for all the non sense track that was going on for the past 2 months.

I can't get over the leads, brilliant work by both Adnan and Aditi. I really wish to see them more in a finite series.

Beautiful story ruined by some uncanny characters
himanshu-451446 September 2023
Such a beautiful pure heartening love story of Katha & Viyaan. So very rich in understanding of relationships with great depth of all characters.. except except except stupid, unrealistic and loud characters of Viyaan's mother and usase bhi badhkar most dramatic and irritating character of mausi. Super romantic and love filled serial totally ruined since last few episodes since that stupid and ugly mausi entered. Another stupid character is Reet. Mr Director, you are/were so different when you were getting us beautiful moments of Katha, Vivaan, Aarav and other super characters.. why Mr Director, suddenly you became Ekta Kapoor, or even worse than her.. Hope you get back to your good track.. please get rid off such negative and unreal ones.

My respect and review of the serial sliding down due to most irritating characters of MAUSI, RITI AND AYAAN's MOTHER. But one credit I must give to cast director for finding such evil looking actors for these evil characters. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP THE DIRECTOR TO GET RID OFF STUPID TEJI STUPIDEST MAYA MAUSI.

Writing this on 20th October 2023. From last 10-12 episodes, series is totally totally totally messed up. We were proudly feeling that there is one serial Katha that is mature and heart touching, but it has now become like any other hindi serial, melodramatic and typical. Mr Director, I hope you read this and take the serial back to its original track.

This serial has absolutely gone haywire. To much irritating level. Hope it comes back to its original track. All of a sudden, since last fee episodes, all characters are overacting and very dramatic, unlike its original track. Especially the new character pf doctor not only act so dramatically, but its characterisation is so ordinary. Mr Director, hope you are reading reviews and very soon you come back to your track.

What a "KATHA"
contactrenukasharma15 July 2023
This is THE best show on TV across all channels..kudos to Adnan and Aditi and of course the director of the show. The USP of the show is that it lacks all the nonsensical saas bahu dramas that every show eventually ends up having. It's the only show where 90% of the episodes is shot in the office set up..Only wish they would not show so much of Reet...she brings so much of negativity with her and like wise the 2 mothers in the show. The story line is different to anything else on screen that we have watched so far..nothing is over the top in terms of acting .. I cannot say enough..so I will just end by saying Keep up the great work guys.

I absolutely Love Katha Ankahee just hooked on it!
fatimanadia-4884426 March 2023
This show is just perfect, definitely the best show I've ever watched on the Indian television so far. It's realistically beautiful. In love with the acting and looks of Adnan khan. This guy is so handsome and talented simply top-notch. The acting of Aditi Dev Sharma is also praiseworthy no doubt in that.

I came across a short reel of it on Instagram a few days back then thought of watching one or two episodes on YouTube, but the storyline is so beautiful that I binge-watched 60 episodes together in 3days, lmao. I am just hooked to this serial and especially the lead actor Adnan khan his aura is something else, man. A must-watch show for everyone!

I absolutely Love Katha Ankahee.

Viaan is the soul of the show
shradhasahoo29 July 2023
What a good actor Viaan is... His expressions, his way of talking, respect to women, even he is silent his eyes tells everything. He is the main attraction of this show. Story is so heart touching. Please continue their non dramatic romance with fresh episodes. Adnan's acting is really good.

Viaan's silent effort to get close to katha is tremendous feelings. His looks, dressing sense, his simplicity will beat other Bollywood big heroes.

Adnan should go for movies and it will work for you.

After so long found a serial like Katha which you can't miss a single episode. Hope to see this serial for longer period.

Masterpiece !!!
Thewellwisher10 September 2023
A concept we never saw in Indian television, Something new & refreshing, the plot is bold but the way they handle the storyline is brilliant.

I'm addicted to Katha & Viaan's love story, it's so beautiful, & the actors are doing a great job, Brilliant performance, wonderful storyline & amazing direction.

Best show in recent times on ITV.

Hope it does great in future too & stay for long run. Can't get enough of Katha-Viaan....

The music department is also doing a fantastic job, Aditi & Adnan's chemistry is fire. I have become a fan of them, supporting cast is also great, god bless thie show.

Katha Ankahee ...a worth watch
nidhi-750988 August 2023
Love the starcast and the storyline. They all feel like a breath of fresh air, no overdramatic take and leaves a feel good feeling after every new episode.

The relationship portrayed here are all shades of white and grey and very relatable ...The main leads in their character are very sorted individuals ,with a positive outlook and warmth in them.

A word of mention for the song "Khare raste" which is a non bollywood track and very beautifully fits in at various occasions and plays in the background of dialogues by the main leads.

There is a beautiful portrayal of the mother -son,mother-daughter , friends ' and inter colleagues relationship... For me...it is just "Bang on"

A must watch for the ITV viewers who aren't interested in typical daily soap drama.
riddhijain-770523 September 2023
Katha Ankahee is one of the few decent shows that ITV has produced and it is totally different than what you get to see on a typical daily soap. The female lead is independent and a fierce lady who knows what's right and whats wrong and stands by it. She is an independent single mother who does everything she can to give her child the best. It's an absolute pleasure to watch the true example of what women empowerment is.

The male lead had an incredible journey, the redemption track, the desperation in his character to get the female lead to forgive him for what wrong he has done to her. The character development is amazing. His bond with the kid will make you fall in love with him.

The actors are so good. Aditi and Adnan as Katha and Viaan totally live up to their characters. The side characters are so beautiful, especially Viaan's best friend, you will fall in love with his character. The child actor is amazing, for the first time in ITV I saw a child behave as a child and not a 30 year old grown up and I was like breath of fresh air.

The writing, the direction, the background score everything is so good that you can't get enough of it.

The best Indian drama of the current years
akterrima-6901529 August 2023
My goodness! The plot, the dialogues, the actors and their perfect emotions. Words aren't enough to express my love for this most unique and beautiful show. No unnecessary plot or dragging incidents, as well as the mature leads, just perfect!

Indian television really needs more Dramas like Katha Ankahee. I hope it run for long long time. The plot was so beautiful that for once I thought it can't be an Indian drama but I must say, the writers are genius! Each and every dialogue got it's soul, and it's connecting with the audience so well!

I am surprised, as well as happy to see such a wonderful drama after a very long time.

Katha Ankahee will be always remembered for it's beautiful plot and the lead actors. Will continue to repeat this drama maybe for my whole life.

Sg281924 July 2023
Take a bow Aditi Dev Sharma....what a performance.

Loved the performances and ive become a fan of aditi..she deserves all the hype and recognition for makiing katha truly remarakble..the casting is fabulous ...

few tracks seem not so necessary but its not dragged to the point where you feel annoyed ... Overall this show is a treat to watch cuz its refreshing to see a story so simple and so beautifully conveyed to the audience...The writers and the creative team is doing good job with the pacing of the show.

Uff this hatred...
Undertaker2026 May 2023
First of all. I didn't get the point Viaan "Raghuwanshi" {descendants of Raghu-(ancestors of lord Ram} & Singh of Lucknow suddenly change th religion when it comes in offering prayers... &.the only logical explanation in this can be that the media houses in and around Bullywood are like anything but not Hinduism...it's place is saved only for mockery....+ I love the way how this is just another sithousery in making by adding unnecessary stuffs in the story in case to drag the story like other Indian serials for a decade... As it is now boring and uninteresting..with same stuff going for a week

..... ...

Completely hooked to the show
vishwasg-5162030 June 2023
Watch it from the beginning. The first few episodes regarding Aarav's treatment are a bit difficult to watch. Stick to it. After that period, the storyline transitions beautifully and you would get hooked to it. The acting, dialogues, storytelling are on point. Must watch if you have time. The thing with TV is that there a lot more episodes but then the characters develop very organically and you get to see the layers, the details which you can't see on a 3 hour movie or a 20 episode web series.

So overall a superb show, highly recommended.

Best show
rajeshritatiwary15 September 2023
Currently the best show on air in India Fantastic storyline and cinematography is top notch Aditi is a delight to watch.

Some of the characters are developed very well Show instantly connects with the audience and takes on the emotional roller coaster ride The character of main lead Katha is very well developed and layered and Aditi has done a fantastic job Ehsan contractor is also a very layered character and the actor Sameer, playing the character totally justify it.

Congratulations to Sony entertainment television for bringing such a delightful show we are looking forward for more Turkish remakes in India

The only fault that the show has is all the characters are shown praying to gods of other religions but not Hindu gods Despite of the fact that Raghuvanshis, Singhs and Grewals are Hindus they are never shown praying to Hindu gods or any mention to any Hindu Deities in the entire show which which has multiple scenes of religious setup, be it gurdwara aur dargah Makers should take a note of this.

Simply brilliant!!
malhotratina-186912 August 2023
This is a beautiful story of pain, angst, redemption, betrayal, friendship and love. The characters are so organic and realistic and do not get into a typical TV melodrama. Full of lovely heart-touching moments. A must watch show for all.....every generation can watch it sitting together.

Katha and Viaan... OMG, their character arc is beyond brilliant. The way they transform to a better version of themselves. The makers have touched upon almost all human relationships and justified them to the fullest.

Every episode makes you reflect and almost every episode makes you smile (there are some sad ones because the story demands it).

The dialogues are awesome. The characters actually TALK to each other to resolve issues instead of hiding stuff leading to misunderstandings. This one thing is my personal favourite.

If you are not a fan of Indian daily soaps because of all the toxicity they perpetuate, do tune into SONY TV and watch Katha Ankahee.....It would change your mind. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST WATCH.
