Rohan stared at the screen. He remembered Hatim. Aired on Star Plus around 2003-2004, it was a landmark series. Before the era of never-ending daily soaps about family politics, Star Plus had dared to air a grand fantasy adventure about an Arabian prince on a quest to solve seven riddles to save the world. It featured Rahil Azam as the dashing Hatim and Nirmal Pandey as the terrifying antagonist, Zargam.

Hatim remains a masterpiece of Indian fantasy television. While the hunt for a "free download" link is common, the best viewing experience—with crisp visuals and the original sweeping score—is through official streaming partners.
