MUMBAI:

As it gears up for its launch this December, Hindi entertainment channel Epic has unveiled its first show called ‘Dariba Diaries’. Set in 19th century Delhi, the story takes place at a time when technology and science were still in their infancy and modern tools of investigation were not yet invented. While ostensibly Bahadur Shah Zafar II reigned, the British influence increased each day and, with it, a spate of crimes. As crime multiplied, the police grappled to keep up with the mounting unsolved cases. Under these circumstances, when the Kotwal found himself in the midst of a felonious mystery, he sought the help of the only man who could come to his aid, Mirza Jaan Nawaz. Though eccentric in his methods of investigation, Mirza proves himself time and again, unravelling a new mystery with every case. Without the aid of modern technology, he relies on the most potent tool of all, his brain. He has eyes for his one true love, Zeenat, from whom he often seeks counsel. But even this man of mystery and strength has a past that continues to haunt him. As he moves from case to case, he gets closer to confronting his own demons and finding answers for himself. Blessed with support from the Kotwal and his son Shyam, Mirza cracks down on the criminals through his acute powers of deduction and observation, delivering justice to the citizens of Dariba. Epic is stated to have action, drama, comedy and thrills set against the backdrop of Indian history and mythology. The programming line-up will be a mix of narrative fiction and non-fiction shows, short form content, as well as period films. Shot in HD, the shows aim to capture the historical locations in all their glory
