COLORS will launch its new finite series 108 Base Hospital – Uri on Independence Day, Saturday, 15 August 2026. The first-of-its-kind army hospital drama will premiere at 8:00 PM on COLORS and JioHotstar, with regular episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday at the same time.
With the tagline “Woh unki jaan bachatein hain, jo desh pe jaan lutatein hain,” the series turns the spotlight on doctors, nurses and medical personnel serving in an Indian Army base hospital in Uri. Rather than focusing solely on soldiers fighting on the battlefield, the show explores another crucial front – the medical teams racing against time to save their lives.
Erica Fernandes, Gashmeer Mahajani and Nikkhil Khurana lead the series, alongside Smita Bansal, Ayoshi Talukdar and Hiten Tejwani.

108 Base Hospital – Uri Starts on Independence Day
15 August 2026 is the launch date of 108 Base Hospital – Uri on COLORS. The choice of Independence Day connects directly with the central theme of the series – recognising the service of medical professionals who care for soldiers serving the country.
The premiere will air at 8:00 PM, after which the series will continue in the Saturday-Sunday 8:00 PM weekend slot on COLORS. Episodes will also be available through JioHotstar.
The show is presented as a finite series, giving COLORS a different format from its conventional long-running daily fiction programming.
A Different Story From the World of the Armed Forces
108 Base Hospital – Uri takes viewers inside an Indian Army base hospital in Uri, where doctors, nurses and other medical personnel face their own race against time.
Their mission is to treat wounded soldiers and give them another chance to return to their families and, where possible, to the frontlines.
The series places Seva, Saahas and Samarpan – service, courage and dedication – at the heart of this medical battlefield.
Through this setting, COLORS shifts attention towards a part of military service that is less frequently explored in television fiction: the medical professionals working behind the frontline.
Erica Fernandes as Dr. Major Naina
Erica Fernandes plays Dr. Major Naina, a determined Army doctor who remains composed even under intense pressure.
Naina approaches every patient with the same commitment and without prejudice. Her professional responsibility towards the soldiers under her care forms an important part of the narrative.
Working alongside her is Dr. Major Aniruddh, played by Gashmeer Mahajani. Aniruddh combines compassion with clinical precision and a strong sense of duty.
The two characters share a past that has left unresolved differences between them. However, when the lives of soldiers are at stake, their professional commitment takes precedence over personal conflicts.
Nikkhil Khurana as Major Sameer Dixit
Nikkhil Khurana plays Major Sameer Dixit, known among his peers as Tiger.
Sameer is a soldier recognised for his courage on the battlefield and his determination when facing dangerous missions. His entry also introduces a personal dimension to the story.
Sameer is drawn towards Naina’s intelligence and humility and gradually develops feelings for her. This creates an emotional equation involving Naina, Aniruddh and Sameer alongside the larger medical and military narrative.
When an emergency arises, however, their personal differences and emotions are put aside as the characters unite around one objective – saving the lives of soldiers.
COLORS Expands Its Fiction Line-Up With a Finite Series
According to Alok Jain, Head – Hindi & English Entertainment (Streaming, TV & Studios), JioStar, the series explores a rarely represented world while celebrating the courage, compassion and resilience of medical professionals serving within the Indian Armed Forces.
The show also reflects COLORS and JioHotstar’s approach of developing content across television and streaming, ranging from fiction and non-fiction to comedy, drama, finite series and long-running programmes.
With 108 Base Hospital – Uri, the focus is specifically on an unconventional setting and the people responsible for treating soldiers during critical moments.
Where to Watch 108 Base Hospital – Uri?
Viewers can watch 108 Base Hospital – Uri on COLORS from 15 August 2026 at 8:00 PM. Following the Independence Day premiere, new episodes will air every Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 PM.
The series will also be available digitally on JioHotstar.
With an army hospital forming the backdrop and the lives of its doctors, medical personnel and soldiers driving the narrative, 108 Base Hospital – Uri brings a different kind of armed forces drama to Hindi television.
108 Base Hospital – Uri premieres Saturday, 15 August 2026 at 8:00 PM on COLORS and JioHotstar.
