Prakash Jha on Aashram’s success: “It’s up to critics and audiences to analyze what truly worked”

Prakash Jha, the visionary director and producer behind Ek Badnaam Aashram, shared what makes the series so compelling, “I wouldn’t intend to compare ‘Aashram’ with other shows or claim any superiority. At its core, it’s simply an engaging story that resonates with audiences. Our primary focus was on crafting a narrative that deepens the personal journeys of each character while keeping the viewer captivated. That’s what we set out to achieve, and perhaps, that’s what has struck a chord. Ultimately, it’s up to the critics, audiences, and researchers to analyze what truly worked. For me, every story holds a meaning, and everything my team and I pour our hearts into holds immense significance.”

Reflecting on the creative and logistical challenges of directing and producing a project of this scaler, he added, “For me, storytelling has always hinged on three fundamental elements— writing, visualization, and execution—especially for a narrative of this magnitude. Aashrams are vast, powerful spaces, and portraying that grandeur on screen was a major production challenge, which my team executed brilliantly. But beyond the spectacle, my foremost priority was to stay true to the essence of the story. It was crucial to navigate carefully and ensure that our portrayal did not hurt sentiments. Our intention has always been to tell a compelling story with sincerity and respect.”

Get ready to unravel the dark side of blind faith in self-proclaimed Babas in this gripping crime thriller as Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3 Part 2 is now streaming for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available through its apps on mobile, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
