Streaming platform ZEE5, which has backed close to 80 originals across multiples genres and Indian languages in the last couple of years, has launched three new episodes of Amrutham Dhvitheeyam, the follow-up to the hugely popular Telugu television show Amrutham earlier this week.
While episode 6 is about how a dengue outbreak in the city makes Amrutha Rao take extreme precautionary measures, episode 7 is about Sanjeevini floating the idea of conducting kitty parties at Amrutha Vilas and episode 8 is about a book launch and how their attempts to recoup their investment only get worse with various twists and turns.
ZEE5 had also come up with a ‘Lockdown Special’ of ‘Amrutham Dhvitheeyam’, a situational comedy of two episodes which had quirkily mirrored lockdown troubles that many face. Amrutham Dhvitheeyam stars Harshavardhan (Amrutham), LB Sriram (Anji), Sivanarayana (Appaji), and Vasu Inturi (Sarvam).
For the uninitiated, Amrutham 1 was a popular Telugu TV sitcom in 2001, a huge hit, starring Sivaji Raja, Naresh, Harshavardhan, and Gundu Hanumatha Rao. Two friends, Amrutham and Anji, come up with creative ideas to improve their restaurant business and get rich but fail with hilarious consequences every single time. Sarvam, their loyal but loco man Friday and Appaji their rapacious landlord contributed famously to their comedy of errors and also became extremely popular characters.
Six years after it began telecast as a weekly sitcom, Amrutham ended its run on television. Now after 13 years, the show is back as Amrutham Dhvitheeyam, produced by Ganga Raju Gunnam and directed by Sandeep Gunnam.
