Undoubtedly, a happy body, mind and soul attract happy thoughts and keep you going stress-free. However, in today’s busy schedules, people rarely get time for laughing relaxation. Even, science has accepted the power of laugh.
Considering the importance of laugh to make its viewers feel good while watching TV, the News World Odisha is planning to introduce a news-based comedy programme “Panchayat Pencha” from this week. The show is expected to make viewers happy and relaxed, said comedy king of Odia cinema Jayeeram Samal while addressing a Press conference here on Wednesday. Jayeeram is going to debut in this news channel through this show.
News World Odisha chief editor Bhakta Tripathy said the show would be telecast every Friday from February 9 at 9.30 pm. The key attraction of the programme is Jayeeram Samal, who is popularly known as “Jayee Bhai”. His trademark laugh has always been the main attraction in his films, he said.
The programme would highlight several problems faced by villagers in a satirical manner, Jayeeram said, adding that he would play the role of a sarpanch while two of his associates Pragyanranjan Khatua and Sankarsan Pradhan would act in different characters as villagers.
Pragyan and Sankar, the two villagers would present the problems before the sarpanch and Jayee would resolve them in a lighter vain invoking a lot of laughter and comedy. This is an attempt to present contemporary political, social, economical and cultural issues and their solution in a democratic way. Sarat Mohapatra would direct the programme.
