Chandrakanta is an Indian fantasy television series partly based on Devaki Nandan Khatri's novel Chandrakanta. It was originally telecast on Doordarshan in the early 1990s and was produced by Nirja Guleri and directed by Sunil Agnihotri. The serial was controversially pulled off air by Doordarshan in 1996[1] and the producers had to file a suit in court for reinstatement.[2] It later enjoyed reruns on Star Plus and Sony Entertainment Television.[3]
[edit] Cast of characters
[edit] CriticismKamlapati Khatri, the grandson of the novel's author has said that the producer "had not done justice to the soul of Khatri’s Chandrakanta". He has also accused the producers of willfully misrepresenting certain concepts from the novel such as "tilism" (kind of a maze) and "ayyari" (spying) and showing it as "jaado-tona" (sorcery) plus the characters and the sequences in the Chunar fort were exaggerated beyond requirement while the real Chandrakanta apeared after a really long time in the show..[4] [edit] References[edit] External links | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
