Armoza Formats has announced that the Indian adaptation of hilarious scripted comedy La Famiglia will begin airing on Amazon Prime Video. The series, which was produced by Indian content & IP creation studio Applause Entertainment, an Aditya Birla Group Venture, will go live on June 7th under the local title Mind the Malhotras.
The format has recently found success with a local adaptation in Cyprus, where it aired on Alpha TV. Reaching the country’s Top 10 rated programs list during its airing, the Cyprian adaptation is already in production for a 2nd season.
Produced by United Studios of Israel, La Famiglia (45x30’) follows the lives of a perfectly normal suburban family living in the divorce capital of the country. With many reasons to be happy, they have even more reasons to go to therapy – their sex life, his best friend, her complaints, and of course, his mother. Their therapy sessions provide the entertaining basis for the series, through which we flashback to the comical, stand-alone scenes from their daily life. Each episode is a new therapy session in which they bring up the most embarrassing, bizarre, awkward and insane moments that are a part of every family’s life.
Sameer Nair, CEO of Applause Entertainment, “We’re excited about our collaboration with Armoza Formats as their stories are incredibly universal. Our next show, ‘Mind the Malhotras’ is the official adaptation of ‘La Famiglia’ and is a perfect entertainer. We are thrilled to present a delightful and quirky family comedy to Indian audiences.”
Avi Armoza, CEO of Armoza Formats, “Our successful partnership with Applause has led to high-quality productions that stay true to the original series while adding a unique Indian spin. We are thrilled to be continuing to collaborate with them and that their adaptation of ‘La Famiglia’ will be available on Amazon Prime Video, allowing audiences everywhere to enjoy this entertaining and relatable family comedy.”
