Hungama Play, a leading OTT platform owned by Hungama Digital Media, has launched a new show ‘Shubh Mangal Mein Dangal’. Headlining the show are popular stars, Adaa Khan and Nishant Malkhani. The show is about a wedding in the era of social distancing that turns chaotic as relatives ignore the meaning of ‘limited guests only’. Produced by Sixtth Sense Entertainments, the sitcom is written by Rajat Vyas and directed by Sanjiv Chadha.
Shubh Mangal Mein Dangal revolves around the life of Vishwanath (Nishant Malkani) and Mitali (Adaa Khan), a couple whose families are looking forward to having a big fat Indian wedding in Bhopal. With social distancing implemented in the city, the heads of the family are tasked with limiting the guest list to 50. With no one wanting to miss out on the wedding, things take a completely unexpected and hilarious turn as more than 100 ‘baaratis’ turn up. Its complete pandemonium as Vishwanath’s family, now, doesn’t only have to keep the guests hidden, but also massage the ego of every distant relative who wants to be part of the proceedings. Being a marriage filled with mayhem and fun, the show, just like the two families, looks forward to a good reception.
Speaking about the show, Siddhartha Roy, COO, Hungama Digital Media, said, “At Hungama, we’ve always looked forward to bring out unique stories that push the boundaries of new-age storytelling. Adding to that, the content that we create must be relatable to our target audience. The comedy genre is highly engaging that brings the entire family together and makes their viewing experience more enjoyable. With Shubh Mangal Mein Dangal, we are sure to strike the right chord with audiences by showing them the relatable, yet hilarious moments, involved in planning a wedding. Packed with drama and laughter from start to end, we look forward to the show being widely appreciated by the masses and families alike.
Talking about her character, Adaa Khan added, “When I read the script for the first time, what stood out for me is that each character contributes to the narrative compellingly. While the story will be something we all experienced during the lockdown, the fun factor will hopefully have everyone hooked. The last two years have been difficult for everyone, but they taught us a lot. Planning a big fat Indian wedding is one of them. I hope the audience will laugh it out and enjoy this show with their families and be reminded of the show every time they are planning or attending a similar function.”
Nishant Malkani said, “The pandemic has so many stories to share, and this story is something I feel a lot of Indian viewers can connect to knowing how many of us had to change a lot of plans when the lockdown was announced. I would like to give credit to the writers for bringing out the humour in such a situation. I am honoured to be associated with Hungama Play’s original Shubh Mangal Mein Dangal and an exciting cast and the crew.”
Starting today, the show will be available to stream on Hungama Play, Hungama’s video on demand platform. Hungama will leverage its robust distribution network to deliver the show to an audience over 150 million worldwide. Damaged 3 will also be available to stream through Hungama Play on Vodafone Play, Idea Movies & TV, Airtel Xstream App, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Tata Sky Binge, MX Player and Android TVs. Additionally, Hungama’s association with Xiaomi will enable consumers to watch the short film via Hungama Play on Mi TV.
