Colors to launch ‘Devanshi’ on Monday

Colors is launching its new fiction ‘Devanshi’ in the 19:00 weekday slot, starting on Monday.

The show is a classic tale of good triumphing over evil. It highlights the erroneous assertion of god-women which further compels an innocent child to live through tumultuous relationships touted to prepare her for the ��greater good�۪. Produced by Full House Media Pvt. Ltd., ‘Devanshi’ is a fresh concept focusing on the life of a 7-year-old girl whose life changes when she�۪s accidentally dropped into a god-woman�۪s ��hundi�۪ as an infant, and faces the brunt of being a blessed child. ‘Devanshi’ will fight to eradicate conventional belief systems.

Commenting on the launch of the show, Manisha Sharma, Programming Head ��� Colors said, ���Religious prejudice in the name of God and faith has created a void in our country�۪s growth. With Devanshi, Colors mirrors this hard hitting reality to present a novel and unexplored concept that puts the spotlight on fraudulent practices conducted in the name of devotion. Narrating a tale about a child and a god-woman, the show is in line with our endeavor to deliver well-meaning content while allowing us to experiment with our programming lineup.�۝

Highlighting the thin line between true faith and blind faith basis which many godmen and women in this country take unsuspecting people for a ride, ‘Devanshi’ will focus on the larger thought of good versus evil drawing inspiration loosely from the age old tale of Krishna ��� Kansa. ‘Devanshi’ is the story of how a twist of fate causes a new born baby�۪s destiny to become about defeating the evil Godwoman, Mata Kusum Sundari (played by Karuna Pandey), who rules big in the name of faith over the people of a fictitious town named Jwalapuri (in Haryana). When the young baby falls into the temple hundi accidentally, Mata Kusum Sundari in keeping with the customs of the temple, declares the baby to have become temple property and subsequently goes on to hand over the responsibility of raising the child to an infertile couple, Sarla (played by Ankita Sharma) and Omi (played by Pankaj Vatia) who are the chief sevaks at the temple. Little does she know, however, that 7 years later, certain circumstances which are the result of her own past karmas will catapult the now grown up Devanshi (played by Kashvi Kothari) into being heralded as Ghungroo wali mayya ka avatar by the same people of the town who had made Mata Kusum Sundari god-like.

‘Devanshi’ launches on Monday 3rd October at 19:00 on Colors India/UK.
