What happens
Debi Chowdhurani was an Indian Bengali-language period drama television series that premiered on 16 July 2018 and aired daily on Star Jalsha. Based on Bankim Chandra Chatterjee's novel of Devi Chaudhurani, it was produced by Subrata Roy, Joydeb Mondal, and starred Sonamoni Saha and Rahul Mazumdar in the lead roles. Sujan Mukhopadhyay, Tanima Sen, and Rayati Bhattacharya, among others, appeared in supporting roles. Upon its launch, the series became one of the most-watched shows on Star Jalsha. The series is an onscreen adaptation of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s novel of the same name. Bankim Chandra’s work called for a resurgent India that resisted the oppression of the British Empire through the strength of the common people, based on traditional Indian values of austerity, dedication, and selflessness. He placed a female protagonist at the centre of the struggle, fighting against the tyranny of oppressive zamindars and the British Raj. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
