Live Life King Size!


Todays article reads about the grandeur and lavish life styles and set ups of the shows in contrast to those that are simple and have more realistic approach.

You get one life so enjoy it to the fullest. Many of us believe this line and  hence want to enjoy every bit of what life has to offer. We try and achieve it through whatever means we have. We aspire  to have the life we can probably dream of. Television shows are no different. They are an extension of our dreams and desires. Celebrating life has become the motto of our television channels.

Star Plus believes in showing larger than life scenes and magnifies  them gloriously on the screen, where as  Life Ok says "Jo Pass Hai Woh Khaas Hai".They believe in showing simplicity of life and being content with that. However with the means to increase ones expansion and give the viewers a dream, here is what we feel  is the current trend.

To shoot  shows at locations that captures the heart of the audience has become the much wanted thing today. It has become vital as it adds to the authenticity of the story line. Of course only first few episodes are shot in the new city for the audience to get the feel of it. For instance Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon  captures the beauty and simplicity of Lucknow as well as the hustle bustle of Delhi life. Another show that adds to this quotient is  Ek hazaron Mein Mere Behna Hain, which has Rishikeshand Chandigarh as its serene background. Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha  evolves from Indore depicting the simple middle class life of two families in a neighbourhood. The latest show in this wagon is  Punar Vivaah  which is also set inBhopal, Madhya PradeshSony TV 's Bade Acche Lagte Hai however walks away with the cake for taking its story all the way to Australia where they shot the honeymoon sequence between the leads Ram and Priya over a period of ten days.

All these shows and many more have chosen a different city in India as its background, bringing out the tradition and culture of those surroundings. We get to hear different dialects and see traditional costumes worn on different occasions highlighting that particular event. This is definitely a fresh change from the fixed sets we get accustomed to, as it creates new ambiance for the story and gives a more real feel to the characters. Shows like Dekha Ek Khaab, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Devon Ke Dev Mahadev  are known for their huge lavish sets where the characters are shown living in Palacial Homes.  Amrit Manthan on Life OK is the latest to join the list. Dealing with false prestige outlining the 'aan, baan and shaan' of the Raj mahal. This show indirectly sends the message of accepting one's true self and not going after what one doesn't have.

Infact what  attracts the attention of the audience is also the potrayal of modern homes,  plush interiors, women adoring designer saree's and jewelleries,  expensive  sports cars  and let's not forget  the use of private chopper in the pilot episode of IPKKND! Gone are the days when all these things were seen only on Silver Screen.  Today you can enjoy all that from 7 in the evening to  11 at night on your own Television Screen.

Now amidst all these are also shows  like Pavitra Rishta, Hitler Didi, Kuch Toh Log Kahenge ,Tum Dena Saath Mera  which  are simple, substance oriented and grounded. They show the audiences the other side of the coin. These shows focus more on problems that regular people can relate to rather than what they dont have!

High budgeted shows  may fulfill  the dreams of a common man by giving them a dream world but on the same page we must value the realism life has to offer too. Our TV tales today bring us a right blend of both. Having said all of this, when a show has no strong storyline to compliment its set up, the audience are quick to reject the same. Hence the makers should always ensure there is a fine balance between the two.

 Devon ke Dev Mahadev a feast for love stuck viewers
 It is a love saga. The show emphasizes on the romantic aspect of Lord Shiva and his wife Sati. The new channel LifeOK has made a good score with the introduction of a mythology based story. The show is not just with bunch of computer tricks. It exhibits the advancement in graphical technology and its adoptation in regular Indian TV shows. We must congratulate the team and the channel in bringing picturesque background, life like characters and eye soothing facade which expands our imagination of the story, the ambience and the characters. Be it the Kailash, the home of Lord Shiva or the palace of Prajapati Daksh everything is grand in scale and rich in character. It elevates imagination of the viewers to the unchartered levels. The graphics do not prick your eyes nor do they seem unpalatable. They are just perfect.

People usually skip the mythological based shows and they usually do not score well with young and busy viewers. But Devon Ke Dev seem to be struck the chord with all audiences. People have started taking notice of beautiful Sati and a model turned Lord Shiva. Their chemistry is only going multi fold when they come in same screen in near future.

In the proclaimed new age of Indian television, where the general trend currently favours mainly suit wearing business tycoons, trendy collegiates or the quintessential Indian gent, how can a mythological God make a universal impact?


Who can play such a personality and do him justice? This is where the show clinches the deal, as Mohit Raina, our on-screen Shiva, does more thanbreathe life into the challenging role, he owns it and works his way into your imagination in a way that most are in danger of imagining only him whenever they try to visualise Shiva. It is not just the incredible physique Mohit has built up for the role, neither is it the chiselled features and the sheer force of the very character of the Lord of the Gods, although all these do undoubtedly play a big part. It is his mastery of every expression, from sublime peace to Rudra's famous all-consuming anger, the pleasure when faced with genuine worship and the turmoil caused by feeling that he cannot risk Sati herself by accepting her as his wife, that the actor manages to command and wield against his audience with as much accuracy as his deadly on-screen "trishul". Not only that, in his on-going quest to give it his all, this model turned actor has recently taken up classical dancing lessons (in "Kathak") as dance is such an integral part of Shiva and the show. This is preceded by the stupendous work he has already undergone with respects to having to build up his body in accordance with the challenging dictates of the role.

Sudeep Sarangi to enter Mahadev as Angira Rishi's son

By TellychakkarTeam 13 Mar 2012 - 19:49



Sudeep Sarangi


Nikhil and Suhana Sinha's mythological show Devon Ke Dev Mahadev aired on Life OK has been high on the drama quotient. And now there will be a new entry that will add more excitement for the viewers. And Sudeep Sarangi, who has done shows like Prithviraj Chauhan and Baba Aiso Var Dhoondho, will be entering the series.

In the recent episodes, the greedy Angira Rishi agreed to get his son, Shatbhish, married to Sati (Mouni Roy) only on one condition that Raja Daksh (Surendra Pal) will give away with the authority of 'Prajapati'. And Sati who is in love with Lord Shiv, decided to sacrifice her love and agreed to get married to Shatbhish for her family. This character will be played by Sudeep.

A source close to the show informs Tellychakkar.com that in the upcoming episodes, everybody will be shocked to see the ugly face of Shatbhish (Sudeep Sarangi). "Prasuti (Shalini Kapoor) will criticize Daksh's choice and will also oppose him; but Daksh will explain her that Sati has been tagged a Shiv lover throughout the world, so Prasuti will accept Daksh's decision."

When we contacted Sudeep Sarangi, he confirmed the news and said it is one of the most challenging characters. "My character has a very ugly look; he has a scare on his face just like Zeenat Aman's character in Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram. I just hope viewers like my character as much as I have enjoyed playing it," he said.

Nikhil and Suhana Sinha's mythological show Devon Ke Dev Mahadev has been capturing audience attention for some time now. Here is another reason of why it will become even more popular in the days to come - the show aired on Life OK will see the entry of Sudeep Sarangi, who has done shows like Prithviraj Chauhan and Baba Aiso Var Dhoondho.

In the recent episodes, the greedy Angira Rishi agreed to get his son Shatbhish, married to Sati (Mouni Roy) only on one condition that Raja Daksh (Surendra Pal) will give away with the authority of 'Prajapati'. And Sati who is in love with Lord Shiva, decided to sacrifice her love and agreed to get married with Shatbhish, (Sudeep Sarangi). Talking on this matter, Sudip says, ""I have worked with Nikhil Sinha in Baba Aiso Var Dhoondho
so when this character came to me, I knew that it would be something exciting. This character has many shades of a personality and thus being an actor I had to go for this."" Sudeep started working in this show for the last one week and is very happy to be a part of Mahadev. "My character has a very ugly look. He has a scar on his face just like Zeenat Aman's character in Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram but mine is more of a patchy scar. I just hope viewers like my character as much as I have enjoyed playing it," he says.

Devon ke Dev Mahadev- Life OK- What's so appealing? -A Review


Fan Story comprises of Articles written by Fans on their favourite shows.

The Indian television has been virtually disappointing over the years. Although the industry churns out an unfathomable number of series and programs every season, they fail to impress.

The reasons are obvious: We are plagued incessantly with regressive serials in the name of uplifting society and its values. The fact is we are getting tired of the expensive saree clad soft spoken tolerant women who sacrifice all their rights and suffer continuously to showcase their "indian" strength of character. We have had enough of the family drama.


The Indian appetite is growing in terms of television entertainment. We definitely need to connect to our cultural roots but we need to do it the new way. The showcasing has to be as dynamic as our heritage. In this light, Devon ke Dev Mahadev  on Life OK  is a fresh gust of wind as it brings hope that finally the television industry is waking up to authentic creativity. The series has succeeded in bringing back harsh TV critics like me to television.


Man's fascination with myth is not new. But that's not what makes this series so beloved among young and old audience alike. At least a dozen mythical shows go on air all week: they don't garner the kind of attention DKDM gets. The show's appeal lies in its presentation and cast.


M Id 259258 Former Grasim Mr India Mohit Raina plays Lord Shiva in Devo ke Dev MahadevWelcome to the world's first love story. Every Indian grows up listening to the story of the mighty Sati jumping into the yajna fire for the honour of her husband. We all know how Shiva danced the dance of destruction carrying Sati's burnt body and had to be appeased to prevent the end of the world.  The story has been retold a million times and has been depicted on the screen many a times. So what's new in DKDM?


Oh there is. Up until now, we all heard Sati's story with reverence. We kept Shiva and Sati on a pedestal and were so overwhelmed by the divine nature of the myth, that we didn't seek to know how it felt to be a part of the story. It was okay not to identify, after it was a God's story and we are not supposed to identify with Gods..
DKDM has changed all that. When you watch their story here, you forget that it comes from scriptures. You identify with them, you feel for them and it makes you want to be them.


Modern women identify with DKDM's Sati because she is not over burdened with piousness, which is generally heaped upon mythological women in copious amounts in our culture. You see the confidence and steadfastness in Sati, lacked by many modern women. She is headstrong. She has no qualms about pursuing Shiv when she is being opposed by everyone, including Shiv.

LifeOK home banner mahadevShe does not wait to be proposed just because she is a girl and she does not let anyone else decide for her. When she is in love, she does not hide it with a shy smile; she brazenly declares it with a sensuous dance. Sati is a fighter and she makes you want to fight for her. Her faults are humane. She is proud and haughty. When she is made aware of her importance in Shiv's life, she revels in her ego. She has problems but she is in love, just like every other woman on earth.


 It is a daring feat casting Mahadev on screen. It is almost unfair to expect from any actor to play Shiv and do justice to it. The myths describe him as someone unimaginably handsome and powerful yet innocent and vulnerable. He is the master of dance, music, yoga and even love making. His anger is feared by gods and demons alike. His love is sought by heaven and earth alike. In short, it is impossible to depict him in all his glory.


And it is here that DKDM has achieved the impossible. The major strength of the show lies in the depiction of Shiva. This on screen Shiva is as good as it gets. It is not an exaggeration to say that DKDM's Shiva makes you forget that you are watching an actor playing Mahadev, and not Mahadev himself.His eyes mirror both powerful wrath and extreme tenderness with mastery. His persona oozes power even when he has nothing to say. And when he has things to say, well, you just listen to it entranced, believing that Shiva is speaking to you.


So here we are, we have two characters that are strong yet lifelike. Very easy to believe in and identify with. The protagonists shine brilliantly through an extra ordinary chemistry. The pining Sati is extremely appealing when she defiantly questions Shiv on his rejection and the silent Shiv tears your heart with his vulnerable silence, for he alone knows that only pain and hurt will come out of their re union.

Every single role in this epic story has been played to its full glory. The unique representation of this immortal love story has been further embellished with soul stirring music. The background music and the song sequences are a blessing to the ears. It touches the heart in a most extraordinary way and leaves you wanting to pray for the rest of your life. The song sequence where Shiv comes out to sing for the sake of bringing the unconscious rag-raginis back to life and unknowingly hypnotises Sati will remain an epic sequence for years to come.


But like all other great beginnings, the series faces a challenge to maintain the high bench mark it has set for itself throughout. It has succeeded in doing so till now and has kept us glued to the TV screen. The run time has been a subject of displeasure as it occupies only a fifteen minute slot (excluding the break) on the channel.  The recap episode on Friday is an unwelcome interruption in the flow of the story.


Definitely, the entire DKDM team deserves applause for delivering an almost perfect master piece in the genre of mythological series after a really- really long time. The cinematography is excellent. The creativity is surprising. This new way of representing the oldest and the most famous love story in the world brings a surge of hope for the genre and the T.V industry in general.  And in the majority of households, at eight o clock every day, it brings fantasy, love and devotion, all together, and inspires many a hearts.


If you liked the review and want to know more about the series and Mohit Raina please follow  his Fan club maintained by Anjali, Shruti and me @Mohit_FC.  You can also follow Mohit Raina himself @mohituraina.

Annapurna Vitthal Bhairi in Mahadev

Annapurna Vitthal Bhairi

Triangle Film Company's Devon Ke Dev Mahadev aired on Life OK will soon see Shiv granting a boon to one of his devotees. Annapurna Vitthal Bhairi who is currently seen in Imagine's Sapno Ke Bhanwar Mein will enter the show.

As already seen in yesterday's episode, Shiv asked Sati (Mouni Roy) to imagine Shatbhish so that he can complete a sculpture of the latter; but Sati, who is in love with Shiv, could only imagine him. And Shiv came to a conclusion that Sati's sadness will wither away, if she is taken out of Daksh's palace. In tonight's episode, Shiv will keep a condition in front of Daksh to take Sati alone in search of a proper stone and Daksh will agree.

During the search, Shiv will meet Sukarna a small child and his mother, Shanta (played by Annapurna Vitthal Bhairi). The kid will unknowingly put bael leaves on Shivling and this will impress Shiv. He will grant a boon to Sukarna that whenever he is in any problem Shiv will be there to rescue him. On the other hand, Rewati will decide to send Sati to Kailash to make Mahadev and Sati's union possible.

When Tellychakkar.com contacted Annapurna Vitthal Bhairi, she confirmed the track and said, "It is a very interesting story. I have seen the show and I am very happy to be a part of it."
