Kartika is an Indian show that aired on Disney Channel India (Season 1) and SABC 2 (since Season 2). The show's advertisements started on September 15, 2008, just one week before its premiere on September 22, 2008 on Disney in Season 1 and February 10, 2020 on SABC 2. Disney Channel aired the name as Kaarthika. The tagline of the series is "Sapnon ki Udaan-Kartika". The website showed in late 2007 that the show was set to premiere. However, after airing one episode, the show was immediately pulled off air and replaced by Shararat and Sanya.
Kartika is a nice singer and dreams of being a star. She asks her father and mother to get her admitted her in the singing academy. At first, they don't agree, but she handles all. At the academy, she makes new friends and rivals. She shares her room with Akhana, a bad but popular girl who always insults Kaarthika and always gets her into trouble.
The production of season one and two took place in June 2004–August 2005 to air every day. Season three's production was in October 2006, and premiered on December 8, 2008. The show ended in January 2009.
Kartika premiered on a "Disney Channel Day Of Premiere" along with Monster Buster Club. It was the only show that premiered at 5 pm and not at the regular 7:30 pm, as Disney Channel India had been launching since 2007. The show was taken very positively and its first day view count was around 1.79 million. It was mistaken as a sequel to Dhoom Machaao Dhoom.
The series was cancelled due to the producer's strike; therefore, the last episode aired wasn't one that ended the story.
Kaarthika was very well perceived by Indian audiences. The show received a number 2 rating, after Dhoom Machaao Dhoom.
Kartika aired Monday to Friday at 5 pm IST; the same episode repeated at 8:30 pm. There was a marathon called Kartika: The Week That Was every Saturday or Sunday at 12:30 pm after the Disney Channel Movie.
