Remix was an Indian television series produced by Rose Audio Visuals, which used to air on STAR One. It was a hit among teenagers and had reruns on the same channel. The series is a remake of the popular Argentine soap Rebelde Way.[1]
Concept
The story is based on the lives of 12th grade students at the set in an elite school called "Maurya High" that is an institution for the kids of the rich and the famous. The school also entertains scholarship students, who come from poorer families. The story revolves around the students, their lives, insecurities, friendships, rivalries, and ambitions.
The four main characters — Tia Ahuja (a fashion entrepreneur's only daughter: Sumit Ahuja), Anvesha Ray Banerjee (a Bollywood filmstar's only daughter: Sonia Ray), Yuvraaj Dev (brat son of India's politician: Yashwant Dev), and Ranveer Sisodia (a Rajasthani royal who comes to Maurya to avenge the death of his father which wasn't really Sumit Ahuja's fault). Hailing from different backgrounds, all of them seem to have their priorities worked out and prefer to follow their own path towards fulfilling their ambitions. But destiny has another trail set for them. Circumstances force them to come together and, through a series of dramatic twists and turns, the four form the music group Remix and become the singing sensation of the decade.
The story also brings into play other elements that shape the destiny of the four protagonists and the students, teachers and parents who form a bond with this elitist school. Touching upon the socio-economic divide, peer pressure, teenage dilemmas and other growing-up pangs, the show attempts to empathize with adolescents in their quests for freedom.
