COLORS’ ‘Dhaakad Beera’ proves not all warriors wear capes—some fight with love and innocence

Hum aksar un superheroes ki tareef karte hain jo screen par duniya jeet lete hain… par un asli warriors  ka kya, jo har ghar mein pyaar aur himmat se apni jung lad rahe hain? Bringing a heart-touching story of an extraordinary brother (Beera) who becomes the nurturer & protector by taking the mantle of dhaakad beera. COLORS unveils its new social drama, ‘Dhaakad Beera’, capturing just how powerful and life-altering a brother-sister relationship can be when it stands alone against society. With courage as his superpower, 8-year-old Samrat becomes a one-man army for his baby sister Kishmish’s right to live in a world ruled by cruel conventions he doesn’t understand. He doesn’t realize that the threat to his sister’s life is his own grandmother, Bhanwari Devi — the village’s ruthless head honcho. *Starring Rakshanda Khan as Bhanwari Devi and Divyam Shukla as Samrat, Dhaakad Beera premieres on July 24 and thereafter airs every day at 7:00 PM, only on COLORS.*

Set in a fictitious village, this social drama follows Samrat, an eight-year-old boy whose pure love for his baby sister, Kishmish, defies generations of silence. When his dying mother places the newborn in his arms, he promises to protect her at all costs. Unwanted by the village and ostracized by her family, Kishmish is the sweetest truth Samrat has ever known. He becomes her everything — mother, father, brother — standing between her and a world that wants her dead. But the greatest menace is closer than he knows: his own grandmother, Bhanwari Devi, the iron-fisted ruler of the village. Obsessed with control and old customs, she sees Kishmish as a threat to her power — and her grandson’s claim as heir. As the village sharpens its knives, how far will this innocent Dhaakad Beera go when the enemy is his own family?

*Speaking about her role as Bhanwari Devi, Rakshanda Khan said,* _“I play Bhanwari Devi, the matriarch of a village, feared more than loved, respected more out of tradition than truth. But beneath her steely exterior lies a woman attached to her grandson, who is her pride and only soft spot. She listens to everything he says, and through him, she believes her legacy is secure. Her world revolves around her grandson Samrat, the boy she’s groomed as her heir, the one she sees as an extension of herself. The arrival of Samrat’s newborn sister questions Bhanwari’s authority and her place in her grandson’s life. Children have a unique way of questioning what adults blindly accept, and this show captures that. It’s powerful that COLORS is telling a story that speaks volumes through the grandmother-grandson bond and the love between a brother and sister.”_
