EPIC Channel's upcoming original series will take
you behind the heavily guarded gates of army regimental centres. The regiment
is a soldiers’ second family and each regiment has its own illustrious history,
and glorious traditions. The show provides insights into their training,
lineage, legacy and all that goes into turning a civilian into a soldier.
Regiment Diaries, which will air from August 16th,
is a tribute to the valiant men that make these regiments, and who honour the
simplest thing in life - love for the motherland, above all else. Each episode
is a showcase of brave tales that warm the heart, moisten the eye, and leave
you in even greater awe of the bravest children of India.
Though several documentaries and movies have been
made about the Indian army in the past, this is the first time that an entire
series of this scale is filmed inside real regimental centres, with real army
men - serving, and retired - speaking about their life and experience as
soldiers of India in times of peace and war.
EPIC has worked closely with ADG-PI, the public
information wing of the Indian Army and the individual regiment centres,
doggedly pursuing the show through every procedure and permission, to make a
deserving re-telling of our nation’s brave hearts.
Akul Tripathi, Content and Programming head, EPIC
Channel said, “We have it as our mission to celebrate every aspect of India and
the celebration was always incomplete until we celebrated the Indian Army. In
many ways, this show is special for us; it is also our personal mark of
gratitude and pride for the army. Every person who has worked on the show, has
gone that extra mile for this particular series and had only this much to say
for it – ‘ itna toh banta hai’.”
The weekly series will be telecast every Thursday
at 10 pm. Episodes feature stories of various battles
from India’s history, and the regiment’s contributions in it along with
anecdotes of both battle, and the preparations that go into making men ready
for battle. Each episode also explores the specific traditions and culture
within each regiment and how they each add colour and character to the fabric
of the Indian army.
The show will be flagged off with an episode on
the Madras Engineers Group regiment, followed by episodes on other regiments
including Rajputana Rifles, Sikh Regiment, Jat Regiment, Maratha Light Infantry
amongst others.
On Independence Day, EPIC will release a 4-min
trailer of Regiment Diaries that embodies the soul of the show. This will be
part of a specially curated day-long programming line-up that includes episodes
from its popular shows, riveting documentaries on historic battles of
independent India by Maj. Gen. G.D Bakshi and a revisiting of historic moments
through a compilation of iconic speeches by Indian leaders, which changed the
course of Indian politics and society, from their show ‘Bharat Ki Awaaz.’
Watch Regiment Diaries, 16th
August onwards, every Thursday at 10 pm only on EPIC
channel.
