Colors, the Hindi GEC from Viacom 18, is beefing up its content line-up to be festive season-ready. Having announced Devanshi, a fiction property to be launched on October 3, the channel is gearing up for some big ticket programmes such as Bigg Boss season 10 and Nagin season 2, along with other shows like Shani and Dil Se… Dil Tak that will come later this month.

Commenting on the new line-up, Raj Nayak, CEO, Colors, said, “Each of these concepts has been handpicked by our creative teams keeping in mind newness, intrigue and variety. Be it a show that dismisses blind faith like Devanshi, the second edition of our super-hit mystical thriller Nagin, an entertainment show on human behaviour like Bigg Boss, a love story with a unique twist like Dil Se…Dil Tak or a historical-mytho series like Shani, it's all happening on Colors. We have associated with the choicest storytellers and production teams to curate compelling shows in keeping with the channel's core DNA while catering to every member of a family.”

Devanshi, a story of a seven-year-old girl, a show that fights with superstition, will air every Monday to Friday at 7 pm. Coming up next will be the second edition of television's most-loved and well-received show – Nagin season 2. Picking up 24 years after the first season's end, the sequel will delve into love, protection of a legacy and revenge thereon, with a nagmani at its helm. The journey into the world of the unknown will commence from October 8, every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm.

Undoubtedly the biggest launch of the season will be Colors' marquee property, Bigg Boss 10, which will kick-off on October 16, every Monday to Friday at 10.30 pm and Saturdays and Sundays at 9 pm. Creating history, this season the focus shifts to the common man, who will become contestants on the show and live under 24x7 camera scrutiny. Selected after a rigorous audition process, the common man contestants will lead an isolated life, their only contact with the outside world being the show's superstar host, Salman Khan.

Dil Se…Dil Tak is a heartfelt love story of a married couple -- Parth Bhanushali (Sidharth Shukla) and Sharvari (Rashami Desai) -- whose dreams of parenthood will be contingent on Teni (Jasmine Bhasin). The show will trace their love, and trials and tribulations as they strive to reunite with the orthodox Bhanushali family. Further, the channel will be launching Indian television's biggest and most technically sound historical mytho drama, Shani. Delving into the life of Hinduism's most ruthless God, Shani will reveal the truths behind myths and dismiss the beliefs that have been passed along over generations.

Throughout the festive season and onwards, the channel will sport a robust line-up of shows, including existing and the new launches through programmes like Thapki…Pyaar Ki, Devanshi, Sasural Simar Ka, Shakti…Astitva Ke Ehsaas Kii, Udann, Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, Swaragini, Kasam…Tere Pyaar Ki, Krishndasi, Kawach…Kaali Shaktiyon Se, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Comedy Nights Bachao Taaza, Nagin 2, Bigg Boss, 24, Shani and Dil Se…Dil Tak among others.
