The much-anticipated grand finale of Zee Marathi’s unique reality show, “Chal Bhava Chitrakala,” aired on June 1, 2025, culminating weeks of laughter, challenges, emotional moments, and a beautiful cultural exchange.
The show, which broke the mold of traditional reality TV by pairing rural boys with urban girls, aimed to bridge the gap between contrasting lifestyles and proved to be a resounding success, winning hearts across Maharashtra. After a journey filled with growth, teamwork, and unexpected twists, it was the dynamic duo of Hrishikesh Chavan and Shruti Raul who emerged as the deserving winners of “Chal Bhava Chitrakala 2025”!
A Unique Concept That Captured Hearts
“Chal Bhava Chitrakala” (which roughly translates to “Come Brother, Let’s Paint/Draw” but in the context of the show, “Chitrakala” alluded to the various arts and crafts, life skills, and cultural practices the contestants learned) was a breath of fresh air in the Marathi television landscape.
Launched in March 2025, the show’s innovative format garnered immense praise for its fresh take on reality television. Instead of focusing solely on cut-throat competition, it emphasized teamwork, adaptability, and the beautiful blending of rural and urban cultures.
Hosted by the charismatic and beloved actor Shreyas Talpade, the show successfully created a platform where contestants from vastly different backgrounds could learn from each other, challenge their preconceived notions, and forge genuine bonds. Viewers were captivated by the sight of city girls navigating village life and rural boys adapting to the hustle and bustle of urban living, all while tackling fun and challenging tasks.
The Journey to the Grand Finale
The season began with 13 city beauties and 12 rural boys, each eager to embark on this unique social experiment. Over weeks of memorable challenges, the pairs faced a myriad of tasks that tested their adaptability, teamwork, and understanding of each other’s worlds.
From traditional rural chores to modern urban etiquette, from local arts and crafts to contemporary hobbies, the contestants were pushed out of their comfort zones, leading to moments of frustration, triumph, and heartwarming camaraderie.
As the competition progressed, the audience witnessed incredible personal transformations. The rural boys learned to present themselves in urban settings, grasp new technologies, and even pick up contemporary dance forms.
Simultaneously, the city girls embraced the simplicity of village life, learned traditional cooking methods, and participated in local festivals with zest. These interactions created an authentic blend of cultures, values, and everyday experiences that truly resonated with the viewers.
The show’s emotional depth, unexpected twists, and the strong performances by the finalists amplified the buzz around the grand finale. Fans eagerly formed strong connections with their favorite pairs, making the final episode even more special.
