Tumhari
Disha, essentially a family- social drama, tells the story of
a young girl who battles her emotions on learning a cruel but strange
truth about her life. Disha, the protagonist, lets go of her love
on learning that her two pillars of strength, her parents, are not
her biological parents and that she is the daughter of a servant.
Situations arise where she has to prove her loyalty, even at the
cost of her dreams, to the people who have given her a good life.
Tumhari Disha introduces Chhavi Mittal as Disha, along with
established stars like Kanwaljeet Singh, Zarina Wahab, Karishma
Randhawa and Nitin Raaj.
Film Farm is the production house and Tumhari Disha is their
second television production, the first being Dil Na Jaane Kyon,
the first series of Chausath Panne. Producer Rupali Guha's
inspiration was Bimal Roy's Nutan and Sunil Dutt starrer Sujatha.
Speaking exclusively to indiantelevision.com, Guha says, "I
have stuck to the commercial formula, but within that I have tried
to keep an element of realism. Also, the storyline of the show is
very strong and the cast aids to flesh out the whole concept."
Pitted against the Spanish novellas, it will be interesting to
see the response this show receives. Targeting a different TG and
Tumhari Disha being a different genre altogether as well, it not
be competing with an established show. This definitely makes the
odds against this programme a lot less.
Directed
by Hemant Prabhu, this definitely seems like a property that one
cannot cast a blind eye to. Also, Sundays through Wednesdays being
an interesting proposition of days considering the viewer has one
day with this show exclusive as compared to Hum Do Hain Na
and Dekho Magar Pyaar Se which air Mondays through Thursdays,
increasing the possibility of stickiness for the current underdog
Tumhari Disha.
Synopsis of the show:
Fair
and pragmatic Upen and Ranjana Upadhyay have raised their two daughters,
Disha and Rano, with equal attention and no discrimination. This
creates a strong undisputed bond between the two sisters and the
parents. But one fine day, a dark secret from the past threatens
to create a rift between the two sisters. When Ranjana realises
that Rano is in love with Inder, but Inder is keener to marry Disha,
Ranjana lets the cat out of the bag. She discloses the fact to Disha
that she is not their biological child but the daughter of their
servant. Disha, on realising that Rano loves Inder, makes the biggest
sacrifice of her life by marrying Sehgal -a much older divorcee
suitor. She thus proves her loyalty to her foster family.
