By Almas Mirza   Prayaschit-Gunahon Ke Zakhm, a unique show which sets up individuals with a violent past for redemption, was officially launched in presence of the host, Tisca Chopra and three of the characters whose real life stories feature on the show, viz. Seema Parihaar, Kubul Singh and Laxman Gole. Continuing with the tradition of bringing differentiated and unique content, Sony Entertainment Television is presenting yet another scintillating series, a unique show based on real life crime stories recreated and shown through the eyes of the criminals. The show is a re-enactment of their stories of wrong doings, repentance and thereafter their quest for forgiveness and redemption.   The show will feature the stories of characters such as Seema Parihaar, the notorious bandit, who killed seventy people and abducted over two hundred before surrendering to the police in Kanpur in 2003; Laxman Gole who was sucked in to the vortex of crime after he slashed his neighbor with a razor and went on to form one of the dreaded gangs of Kurla; Samunder Singh who was used by his friends to commit the heinous crime of stabbing a Christian Nun, working in their village for the betterment of the adivasis; among host of others who will reveal their dark deeds, repent for the same and ask for redemption.    Talking about challenges faced while hosting a real life crime show, Tisca Chopra said, “The first episode that we shot was about a man called Dilip Singh who burnt his wife alive. After the shoot, when I went back home, there was a feeling of fear inside me. He was just another unremarkable person, just like any other person who passes by when we walk on the roads or commute daily. It’s only one moment that can make anyone cross the line and commit a crime; it can be anyone of us. Just like Dilip Singh said ‘Jaise ek shaitani taqat kuch karwa deti hai;’ we do not have the right to be judgmental. Circumstances can lead us to anything. This show is based on a new concept showing that life gives a U-turn. The show is close to my personal philosophy. If one has a strong conviction, life gives opportunities, a second chance to change. More importantly, I tried to feel and connect with the characters and sometimes even deviated from the script.”   The basic theme of every episode is all about a person who has done something wrong in his life, which has affected somebody’s life and is now guilty and wants to confess his wrong doing and pleads for forgiveness. If the person is not forgiven, then a way of redemption which is very close to the story/case will be an alternate to the whole thing. The narrative will be from the point of view of the accused/victim which will cut into recreations at regular intervals. Recreation will be a major portion of the story to make it more massy and appealing. Tisca will bind this whole story together and will play a major role during the culmination of the episode.
