SAB TV launches 2 new family entertainment shows; Chidiyaghar & R.K. Laxman Ki Duniya to hit the TV screen soon

SAB TV all set to launch two new family entertainer, R. K. Laxman Ki Duniya and Chidiyaghar.

R. K. Laxman Ki Duniya is a show based on the works of noted cartoonist R.K. Laxman. The episodes and incidents involve the happenings in the life of ‘The Common Man’ and represent his hopes, aspirations, troubles, and struggles in a light hearted manner. Starting November 28th, SAB TV the show will air every Mon-Friday at 9:30 p.m.

R. K. Laxman Ki Duniya focuses on the character of ‘The common Man’ who, is a silent spectator of marching time and confronts India's latest heartbreak with a kind of wry resignation. The meek and silent Common man character, a witness to everything, scheming politicians, gossiping housewives and rapacious bureaucrats, has been hugely successful because it represents the true Indian middle class. The series aims at depicting our happiness and sorrows and our indifference towards things going around us.   

 Mr. Anooj Kapoor, Executive VP & Business Head SAB TV said that, “We at SAB have always believed in presenting our viewers with real, innovative and fresh concepts with a comical twist. SAB TV is India’s leading light-hearted family entertainment channel and the fact that R K Laxman’s cartoons always took a light-hearted view of serious issues makes R. K. Laxman Ki Duniya a perfect fit to be aired on SAB TV.” 

Produced by J D Majethia (Hats off Productions) and Dharmesh Mehta (NamanRaj Productions Pvt. Ltd), the show will see prominent artists like Atul Parchure essaying the common man, Vandana Pathak as his wife, Deepak Ghirwale as the retired Sanskrit teacher and many more.  

Set in the suburbs of Mumbai, the show addresses the issues of middle-class Indians through the lives of Bhavesh Vasavada and his family, which includes his wife Baku, a retired father and two daughters. Day to day problems like the rising fuel prices, flawed education system and corruption affect our daily lives & R. K. Laxman Ki Duniya is about how a middle-class family faces up to them. The show will have two generations of the common man. The character Bhavesh Vasavada will represent the current generation whereas Ghirwale, 75, who plays his father, will belong to the older generation and also physically resemble Laxman’s cartoon character.

R.K. Laxman Ki Duniya promises viewers across India an entertaining, fun, family time together on every week from Monday to Friday 9.30 pm onwards from 28th November exclusively on SAB TV. 

Chidiyaghar is a unique family comedy show, based on the premise that all humans have some or the other animal trait & its humanity that separates us from animals. There are some who’re restless like monkey and then there are others who’d have an appetite like elephant. Chidiyaghar depicts basic human values like love, respect for others, patience and the true meaning of a family and togetherness that makes us humans. The show will see some prominent artists like Rajendra Gupta, Sumit Arora, Paresh Ganatra, Shilpa Shinde, Debina Mookherjee and many others.

Mr. Anooj Kapoor, Executive VP & Business Head SAB TV that, “We offer viewers light hearted content that entices the entire family and our recent launch Chidiyaghar too has a fresh concept that revolves around a unique idea that humans too have animal traits in them and it is our values & culture which separates us from animals. Each character will remind the viewers of someone they know. They are all so relatable that we expect viewers to instantly connect with them.”

Director Ashwini Dheer said that, “I believe if you look closely all of us have traits of some or the other animal & it is our ability to differentiate between right & wrong which separates us from animals. The show is an attempt to remind us of those values which make us human.” 

Produced & directed by Ashwini Dheer from Garima Productions, ‘Chidiyaghar’ is a house named after Late Mrs. Chidiya Narayan, wife of retired principal, Shri Kesari Narayan. The story is about Kesari his two sons, Gomukh and Ghotak, their respective wives, Mayuri and Koel, younger son Kapi, grandchildren Gillu and Gaj, daughter Maina and Son in law Tota. Coincidentally their names resemble animals as is the case of every individual bearing some or the other animal’s characteristic.  

Chidiyaghar promises viewers across India an entertaining, fun, family time together every week from Monday to Friday 9pm onwards from 28th November exclusively on SAB TV.
