Zee TV's Dil Se Diya Vachan, a remake of Tamil show Idhayam

Film Farm Productions and Zee TV's forth coming show 'Dil Se Diya Vachan, is the show again with a Marathi Backdrop and has captured the slot of 7:00 PM and will telecast its episodes from 25th of this month.

The basic storyline of the show is about how a mother-in-law (Neena Gupta) stands by her daughter-in-law(Vandana Joshi) by supporting her in all the conditions, fulfilling her promises of being a mother. Though the storyline seems fresh by look, it's actually the remake of a Tamil show.

On the same, we asked the Producer Pintoo Guha about the remake and he was happy to say, "Yes, the show is a remake of a Tamil show called 'Idhayam' which airs on Sun TV."

Talking about the inspiration he further says, "Frankly speaking, content is something which makes the show work and even I have done the same. I got inspired by the content, therefore came up with the idea to make a Hindi version of it for the audience."

Talking about choosing Zee TV to air the show, he says, "I have a good rapport with Zee TV from many years, even in 1992 my name was present on the channel for the show called 'Saap Siddi'. So it was my pleasure to bring this show for Zee TV."

Shows on Marathi Backdrop are flooding on Indian Television and even Dil Se Diya Vachan is based on picturesque land of Pune. "There was no special reason to make the show with a Marathi Backdrop as the show could have been made in any lingo, but the channel wanted the show to be with this backdrop due to their slot and viewers. I just wanted the show to be done in a metro and not in a village," clears Pintoo.

The tradition of shows with Marathi Backdrop has started by Ekta Kapoor by remaking the very popular Tamil serial Thirumathi Selvam as 'Pavitra Rishta'. The gaining popularity of the show made other producers and channel to think on the same lines. Later on Imagine TV and UTV Telly Talkies joined hands to remake the Telugu serial named Rakht Sambandham as Rakht Sambandh. In the pipeline is Star Plus' and UTV's yet another remake of the Tamil show 'Kolangal'.

Let's see how far this show adds on the numbers to the channel with the content and Marathi Backdrop.
