JAMUNIA is  first  musical serial which Doordarshan will  telecast on 27th
May, Sunday at 10.30 a.m.  All the 30 episodes of the serial have been shot.
Nikhil Kamath has provided the music for all the 20 songs in this serial
which includes the title track too.This is Prasar Bharati's own serial and they have made a comeback after 20 long years for their in house production which is highly commendable.
Dy. DIRECTOR GENERAL of DOORDARSHAN  Lakshmendra Chopra says:" JAMUNIA is  one serial where you will definitely see   a hard-hitting drama of a single  woman's fight against her own family members. The role of JAMUNIA is played by Richa Sony who had appeared in the serial Bhagya Vidhaata. She has done  extremely well in the title role."
 Music Director NIKHIL KAMATH:" I was told to provide the music which every common man, the general mass and also the class would appreciate. I was simply amazed with the efficiency of people like Udaynath Nayak, the executive producer and the video executive who helped each and every unit member during the shoots in Kolhapur to give their best. Anee Chatterjee has rendered the title songs well as many more. She has a unique voice as she is a well trained singer who is already a part of Bolywood. The best support came to me from veteran lyricist Rajesh Johri who has also given the voice over and has
also played the role of Jamunia's father. He has put his soul in the serial."
SURESH SINGH BISHNOI( Director):" It was a great challenge to direct this
serial as we had to follow the strict guidelines of the Doordarshan. Many
people have found the serial very gripping , especially the women folk as I
have tackled the theme of women empowerment. I got full support from the
team    of Prasar Baharati and I hope JAMUNIA will become a household name
very soon. We have also included many songs in the episodes and they are
like jewels as Nikhil Kamath has taken lots of efforts to keep the lyrical
as well as the musical mood in a total Indian style which will be
appreciated by one and all. Rajesh Johri took pains to give more and more
perfection to the serial with his voice over and I must admit that he took
extra care which inspired me to go for major improvisations on the actual
shoots."

 Udhyanath  Nayak,  video executive and executive producer of JAMUNIA   said:" I was present in the shoots in Kolhapur and we completed the shooting of all the 30 episodes of JAMUNIA. It has cost us Rs.2 Lakhs per episode. We are happy now as we have fulfilled our committment to the serial."
