Yakshini, the newest web series on Disney+ Hotstar, commenced streaming on June 14, 2024. This captivating series features a stellar cast portraying pivotal characters, and what sets it apart is the grand production undertaken by Arka Media, the renowned creators of Baahubali.
Unfortunately, the reception of the show has been quite disappointing. Viewers of the series are dissatisfied with the dull storytelling approach taken by director Teja Marini. Many negative comments are circulating on social media, with a significant portion of the audience criticizing the lack of excitement and emotional depth in a series approved by the creators of Baahubali. Several prominent actors, such as Vedhika, Manchu Lakshmi, and Ajay, portrayed significant roles in this high-budget fantasy drama series. The production team spared no expense on the visuals, yet surprisingly, the lack of promotion did not hinder the series’ anticipation.
Despite flying under the radar, the show has a dedicated fan base that appreciates it. In contrast, another series, Paruvu, released on the same day as Yakshini, has garnered over 50 million streaming minutes and continues to thrive. Pavan Sadineni leads the series as the showrunner, captivating audiences with the unexpected developments in this crime drama spanning eight episodes. Meanwhile, Yakshini is experiencing a decline in popularity, with diminishing viewership reported in the news. It will be interesting to see the future projects that Arka Media will unveil.
