After the stupendous success of the Star Jalsha serial Debi Chaudhurani, which was an adaptation of the famous novel by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Star Jalsha has come up with ‘Kopal Kundala’ which is again an adaptation of the novel by the same novelist.

Set against the backdrop of 16^th century rural Bengal, the show depicts the journey of a young woman, Kopal Kundala, who has been raised in a forest by an evil Kapalik. The Kapalik practices human sacrifice and wishes to possess supernatural powers by pleasing Maa Kali. He captures a young man named Nabakumar, a city man who loses his direction, lands up in a secluded place and gets lost in the forest.

As the Kapalik prepares to sacrifice him, Kopal Kundala manages to free Nabakumar and on his behest runs away with him.

A life-long fight against the evil Kapalik ensues as Kopal Kundala fights to protect her loved ones and continues to break stereotypical societal norms. With Nabakumar’s support, she gets accustomed to the city life and stands up against the evil Kapalik and Nabakumar’s shrewd first wife, besides other antagonists.

The show features Soumi Chatterjee as Kopal Kundala, Debojyoti Roychowdhury as the evil Kapalik and Sounak Roy as Nabakumar. Amit Sengupta holds the directorial helm of the show. The show is the maiden initiative of Raj Srijan Arts LLP, a joint venture of Mr. Raj Chakraborty and Mr. Shyam Agarwal.

Sagnik Ghosh, EVP & Channel Head, Star Jalsha & Jalsha Movies highlighted on the fact that Kundala is a timeless classic. The narrative explores the story of a girl who has to constantly fight for her life and free will.

The show will begin on 2^nd December and will air from Mon-Fri at 8.30 pm only on Star Jalsha HD & SD.
