Rangashoor Brings a Powerful Tale of Tradition and Women’s Empowerment to Zee Sarthak

Bhubaneswar: Continuing its commitment to bringing meaningful and inspiring stories to audiences, Zee Sarthak is set to premiere the much-awaited Odia drama-thriller “Rangashoor” on television this Sunday (June 28) at 6:30 PM.

The film, which celebrates Odisha’s rich folk tradition of Bagha Nacha (Tiger Dance) while highlighting the theme of women’s empowerment, will air exclusively on Zee Sarthak.

Having already won the appreciation of audiences during its theatrical run, Rangashoor is now ready to reach a wider audience through its television premiere. The film combines a compelling social message with an engaging narrative, making it a unique cinematic offering.

The story revolves around the bond between a father and his daughter and their shared dedication to art. The father is a traditional Bagha Nacha performer, while his daughter dreams of carrying forward the legacy of the fading folk art. However, she faces resistance from a conservative society that believes the art form should only be performed by men. Her struggle against social conventions and gender barriers forms the heart of the film’s narrative.

Directed by Pratap Rout, the film stars Suryamayee Mahapatra, Choudhury Jayaprakash Das, Deepanwita Dash Mahapatra, Samaresh Rautray, Subhashish Sharma, Jyoti Ranjan Nayak, Sushant Dash Mahapatra, and Shubhashree Jena in key roles.

Produced by Moon TV Association in association with Prakash Films and Maximinia Films, the screenplay has been written by Himanshu Raj, Umang, and Shatrughna Kumar, while the music has been composed by Gaurav Anand.

Expressing his enthusiasm about the television premiere, Zee Sarthak Chief Channel Officer Rahul Rao said, “Rangashoor is not just a film; it carries a powerful message about Odisha’s endangered folk traditions and women’s empowerment. I urge all Odia viewers to watch this inspiring story with their families and experience a unique blend of culture, courage, and determination.”

The makers believe that Rangashoor will not only evoke strong emotions among viewers but also deliver a meaningful social message, reinforcing the importance of preserving cultural heritage while challenging gender stereotypes.
