Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: The upcoming series ‘Gram Chikitsalay’ is set to debut on OTT next month.
Produced under The Viral Fever (TVF) banner, the series is created by Deepak Kumar Mishra (known for ‘Panchayat’), written by Vaibhav Suman and Shreya Shrivastava, and directed by Rahul Pandey.
The show features a stellar cast including Amol Parashar, Vinay Pathak, Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, Anandeshwar Dwivedi, Akash Makhija, and Garima Vikrant Singh in key roles.
Prime Video announced on Monday that ‘Gram Chikitsalay’ will be released on May 9.
According to an official press release, the five-part series chronicles the journey of Dr. Prabhat, an ambitious doctor from the city who faces bureaucratic challenges, skeptical villagers, and the unique quirks of small-town life as he strives to rejuvenate a nearly defunct Public Health Center in a remote village.
Sharing insights on what audiences can expect, Vijay Koshy, President of The Viral Fever, said, “With Gram Chikitsalay, we bring to life a heartfelt and inspiring story that delves into the challenges and triumphs of rural healthcare, told through a lens that is both humorous and deeply relatable.”
He further added, “At its core, the series is about resilience, connection, and the pursuit of change against all odds. Through Dr. Prabhat’s journey, we explore universal themes of idealism meeting reality. He isn’t just fighting diseases; he’s challenging deeply rooted systems, prejudices, and the status quo – all while learning that change is a two-way street. Amol Parashar has done a splendid job bringing this character to life. We are thrilled to collaborate with Prime Video once again and continue to push boundaries, bringing forth entertaining stories that matter and make an impact. We can’t wait for viewers to experience Dr. Prabhat’s journey as he tries to bring about change when the series premieres.”
