In the last few months, we’ve reported extensively on Edit 2 productions’ show Bhootwala Serial. The only question that remained unanswered was when the show will launch. This daily finally launches from 23 February and will air at 10.00 pm on SAB.

The story is based on two friends, Vicky (Rajesh Kumar) and Ram (Dhruv Singh) who fear their looming bankruptcy after having lost a hefty sum of borrowed money in the share market. The plot revolves around their numerous attempts to recover the money and return it to their lender – Lala Pathan. They see a ray of hope when Vicky learns of the inevitable death of his wealthy grandfather who leaves him an old bungalow. Vicky realizes that the only way he can clear his debt is by selling off his inheritance. Together with his friend Ram, he decides to renovate and sell of the house at a profit. To keep the cash coming, he starts to use the bungalow as a guest house.

But things are not really as simply as they seem. Vicky and Ram soon find out that they –are not the only residents of this huge lodge. With an eerie presence felt all times, they are staying with none other than a family of ghosts, headed by Amarnath Bhandari (Kiku Sharda). The poltergeists aren’t prepared to leave their territory and so they try every trick to get rid of Vicky and his friends. Bhootwala Serial is basically about this tug-of-war between the living and the dead.

Announcing the launch of the show, SAB business head Anooj Kapoor says, “In keeping with SAB’S strategy of relevant and ongoing innovation within the comedy genre, Bhootwala Serial is India’s first horror comedy on television. It deftly combines humor and comedy to create a very enjoyable and unique family viewing experience.”
