To quote Shailaja Kejriwal, EVP-Content, NDTV Imagine said, "Mahima Shani Dev Ki presents a new approach to storytelling. The show has a collection of interesting stories which open your eyes to new thoughts and learning's. A key aspect of this show is that it seeks to remove the tag of negativity and superstition attached to this god. It also looks to highlight an important yet often misunderstood facet about Shani, which is to follow the path of righteousness, for he rewards those who follow this path and severely punishes only those who do wrong."

What happens to King Vikramaditya who is under the wrath of ShaniDev? This is the Question most of the viewers who watched NDTV Imagines’s launch episode of Mahima Shanidev Ki would be having in their minds. The last episode of Mahima Shanidev Ki ended with Shanidev entering the courtroom of Vikramadiya. What happens next?

After been cursed by Shanidev, King Vikramaditya faces so many difficulties and troubles worser than his wildest imaginations. He loses his kingdom, got charged with stealing and his both hands and legs are cut-off by King Chandrasen. He is helped by an oil vendor who brings him home. Vikramaditya even in his troubless prays with devotion and faith in Shanidev , who eventually not only rewards him back all the lost glory but gives him manifold.

NDTV Imagine has so far only given good programs compared to Star Plus Channel and Mahima Shanidev ki is definitely going to be the jewel in the crown.
