The show was initially titled "Arjun: Har Gunah Ke Chakravyuh Ko Todne Aa Raha Hai" and later renamed to the less wordy title "โ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐ช๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ ๐ธ๐ฃ๐๐ฆ๐" was a 145-episode show, spanning over two and a half years, airing every weekend on Star Plus under the banner of 4 Lions Films.
The story revolves around the titular character Arjun, ACP Arjun Suryakant Rawte and his quest to avenge his wife. The story introduces the Emergency Task Force, an elite police squad that deals with high-profile and high-priority cases with ACP Sameer Rathore in charge as Chief. He is his long-lost best friend Arjun and the two are usually at loggerheads. Chhotu - the commando, Shree - the tech expert and Riya - the research analyst form the initial team, Arjun is added as second-in-command. The two commanders usually have heated discussions on their ways of doing things. Riya makes the ultimate sacrifice for the city by swallowing the Xora virus, giving up her life for the people.
Nadia, aka Aisha Kapoor, is an undercover agent whose cover is blown by Arjun & ETF during one of the cases, she then joins them as a guns and ammunition expert. Dr. Lisa D'Cruz joins as the forensic expert and Saakshi Anand, an ex-crime reporter joins to publicise the actions of the ETF team.
HYMAE-Arjun is a crime investigation series that goes beyond just solving crimes. It is a story of human relationships; the love-hate equation between Arjun and Rathore; the friendship of Riya, Chhotu and Shree; Shree and Chhotu; Aisha, Lisa, Sakshi and the boys. Relationships are something one relates to, whether friendship, a loved one that one has lost or a romantic interest that one may have like the supermarket gal for Chhotu.
Arjun goes from being a lone wolf to someone who works hard with his team and learns to love them like his second family, only for them to be taken away from him, once again, he's lonely. This time he forms an unlikely alliance with a garage mechanic and a history-sheeter - Karan, an upcoming actress - Simran and a little girl, aka Einstein - Anjali. They fight some crimes in their ways and Sameer decides to show up with a file that has details on Sikander. The show ends on a promising note, to come back with another season where Arjun would complete his quest that is left unfulfilled here.
The layers in this story are what make "๐๐ป๐ณ๐พ๐ท: ๐๐ช๐ป ๐จ๐พ๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ท ๐๐ช๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ช ๐๐ด" a one of its kind action thriller on Indian Television that has its fans hooked and waiting for another season, a decade later. Our beloved ACP Arjun forms a Justice Squad out of likely and unlikely companions and seeks to rid the city of its crime and criminals, with the motto "๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ค๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ง๐ข๐ ๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฒ" - for protecting the good, to eradicate the bad(evil).

Media is a strong medium. It can bring hope, make us laugh and cry, and build opinions and Television, for decades, has been a potent force. Among the pioneers of private channels is Star Plus which has given us many gems in the form of memorable shows.
Amidst the dark clouds of the monsoon of 2012, came to our houses, a group of committed young cops formed the Emergency Task Force fighting to bring justice to the most challenging cases. True to its name, Har Yug Me Aayega Ek - Arjun.
Arjun- Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek, a one of its kind action thriller, that was created with a vision of not just entertainment but also with the thought of spreading a message - be it of human failures, the interpersonal relationships that thrive in situations that seem unlikely and how men and women in uniform live their life on duty and outside it.
Here we are, a Decade since the show aired with some of our fond memories and a Forum that brought so many unknown individuals together.
"What made the Show memorable?" One might wonder. Well, let us try to put some pieces of this puzzle together.
Concept, Format, Writing:
In the midst of many family drama shows, "4 Lions Films" production came up with a Crime Thriller show written by a team of young, talented writers and creatives.
The USP perhaps was the concept of a group of young individuals determined to fight for justice, in stark contrast to the crime shows of the time.
The pride and honour with which duty-bound officers don the uniform, the commitment towards their duty in spite of threats and hardships, rising above self for service of society and soldiers are not just in uniform but the will to serve can come from ALL quarters were the highlights of the show.
A 145-episode, late-night, weekend-only show, instilled a curiosity and made us look forward to it. We became so used to it that the ETF became synonymous with the Emergency Task Force and the trademark dialogues of each character were etched in our minds.
Whether it is:
ACP Sameer's "Damn It" or ACP Arjun's "Samjhe ya Samjhau", "Majhya Nadala lagu naka", Riya's "Aurat ki kabiliyat pe kabhi shaq nahi karna chahiye" or Ayesha's "Paisa pairon ki dhool hoti hain, ise sir pe mat chadhao" or the motto "Sadarakshanaaya Khalhanigrahnaya".
The 145 Episodes can be divided into During ETF (129 Episodes) and After ETF (16 Episodes).
The show covered a gamut of social issues including:
Human Trafficking, Organ Trafficking, Honour Killing, Biochemical disasters, and Hostage situations among others such as greed, lust, infidelity, cheating, and adultery - leading to crime in society.
Each case was special, each investigation unique and meticulous, adherence to protocol and an easy-to-comprehend portrayal made for a treat to watch.
As a social responsibility, a novel segment called "Arjun ka Suraksha Chakra" was started which educated viewers on simple tips for safe surroundings.
Each was given specific styling that defined their personality traits like:
a. ACP Sameer's crisp checkered shirts with a holster, watch on the right hand, the signature stance of hands on the waist oozing authority, leadership, weighed words and pride.
b. ACP Arjun's block shirts, arms folded, gun held back, signature stance with hands crossed, revolving the pen or gun adding to the mystery behind the man. Roshni's styling in ethnic colours or mainly whites to depict the peaceful, calming force in Arjun's life.
c. Chandrakant Patil's muscular form with a child-like heart oozing innocence despite the painful past and total loyalty to his seniors.
d. Shreekant Sen's bespectacled, trendy styling with a sling depicts him to perhaps be the youngest of the lot fresh out of college.
The Styling of the female cops was fresh and apt to break stereotypes and show them as strong individuals.
ALL in ALL, Aneko Bahane karke Le Gaye Dil!!
The show has its fair share of action, drama, subtle romance, light comedy and a full-on entertainer. Indeed 10 years and going strong and hopefully many many more years to come.
