Amrita TV introduces Kerala's most revered festival Onam, with a difference, as it observes its tenth year in 2015. Having emerged as winner of the highest number of State Awards by any Indian Broadcaster in just 10 years (62 Awards), Amrita TV has a differentiated entertainment fare and is celebrating an Onam extravaganza from Aug 19-30 covering Atham and Onam festival days.

Every year, Malayalam GECs telecast three to four movies per day during the main Onam season. For Onam 2015, Amrita TV is making a departure from this convention, and instead packing the Onam season with a variety of endearing, enriching & entertaining content, with a few ‘Firsts’.

Amrita TV ushers in Onam with a first-ever conversation with noted actor and numero uno comedian,Jagathy Sreekumar, who was involved in a near-fatal road accident three years ago wherein, he lost his faculty of speech and was confined to a wheel chair since that fateful day. In his first television get-together with friends & family, the Program "Changathikoottam", will be telecast in two one-hour episodes on Aug 28 & 29 from 9.30 am-10.30 am(Thiruonam & Avittom festival days)

Another first by Amrita TV this Onam is the re-emergence of famous Malayalam actress Annie on the small screen after 19 years. The bubbly Annie had made a spectacular impact in a span of just 3 years in Malayalam cinema, before she retired for a married family life. She will be anchoring the show "Annie's Kitchen" wherein she will be in cookery conversation with leading celebs of Malayalam cinema. Starting Aug 24,"Annie's Kitchen" will be aired every day at 7 pm .

The third pioneering show "Vithum Kaikoottam" will feature super stars like Mammootty, Srinivasan, besides Vijayraghavan & Krishnaprasad and showcase their passion for farming, organic agriculture and their bonding with mother earth.
