Seven (Indian TV Series)

''Seven – The Ashvamedha Prophecy'' is an Indian supernatural television series that aired on Sony Entertainment Television from 1 January 2010 to 25 June 2010. The series was produced by Aditya Chopra, and stars Rakesh Bapat and Shama Sikander.

Plot

When the "Saptarshi" constellation falls in place, Dr. Charak, an astronomer, scientist, and philosopher knows the time has come for him to find the descendants of the saptarishi or seven sages.

‘Seven’, is the story of the search for the seven descendants and their journey of discovering their real capabilities. Asmin, Hriday, Varya, Haryaksh, Mastishk, Eklavya, and Drishika, have what it takes to save the world. The unique powers they possess are complemented with their different mindsets, learning and outlook in life. Dr Charak, the guru, must bring seven such distinct personalities under one roof and fulfil the Ashwamedha prophecy – a secret that will give great power to the person who unravels it, before Asht, the master of evil and Dr. Charak's rival, decodes it.

Seven ordinary people with extraordinary powers come together to unravel new mythological mysteries until the Ashvamedha, whose secret will change the fate of the Seven. In the final episode they reach the place where they find deadly weapons (comparable to modern day nuclear weapons) which brings the final climax of Ashvamedha. Asht tries to win over Saptarshi but fails and unleashes his daughter Shunya (unaware that she is his daughter) to fight the Seven. Asht gains the upper hand and tries to kill Varya but Shunya intervenes and dies saving Varya but after revealing the truth that she is Asht's daughter. Finally, Asht is defeated. Shlok deletes the collective memory of everyone and the Seven carry on with their lives as normal people.

To know the secret of the Ashvamedha prophecy, the Seven have to collect nine ancient books which are at nine different places. Each book teaches them new abilities and unravels new mysteries. The books are very precious and the holders of these books first put the Seven through a test to assess their abilities. The books are given to nine different people for safekeeping until the "Saptrishis" come to collect them. Each book teaches the Seven new abilities, like "the touch of death" and "communication with nature". In his bid to stop the Seven, Asht kills all the nine guardians of the books once they have performed their duty of passing on the books to the Seven.

The Books teach the nine new abilities and powers:
* 1st book – Touch of death (Ability learnt by Asmin)
* 2nd book – Communicating with plants (Ability learnt by Mastishk)
* 3rd book – Controlling light (Ability learnt by Haryaksh)
* 4th book – Teleporting (Ability learnt by All)
