The show is an onscreen adaptation of [[Bankim Chandra Chattapadhyay]]'s renowned [[Devi Chaudhurani|novel with the same name]]. Bankimchandra renewed the call for a resurgent India that fights against oppression of the British Empire with strength from within the common people, based on traditional Indian values of austerity, dedication and selflessness. He championed the tryst of a female protagonist who fought for her people against the oppression of vile [[zamindar]]s and [[British Raj]].<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Based on a novel by [[Bankim Chandra Chatterjee]], this period drama follows Prafulla's journey, starting as an innocent young girl, and eventually becoming [[Devi Chaudhurani|Debi Chaudhurani]], a powerful bandit queen.<br />
<br />
The show charts the journey of Prafulla an ordinary girl to become an iconic woman, an aspirational leader and a legendary warrior. Prafulla's journey to becoming ‘Debi Choudhurani’ is nothing short of iconic, she's the savior of the poor, she's revered and respected by all. Like a true queen she fought for her people against the oppression of the British empire and the cruel zamindars. Bankim Chandra championed the struggle of a woman protagonist at a time when women were still behind the purdah, which inspired so many women to gradually join in on the independence movement. How Prafulla, a woman from an orthodox Bengali backdrop turns into a name feared by the British rulers hold relevance to Bengalis across generations and timelines. A revered leader, a moral compass, a savior to her peasantry, an epitome of austerity and selflessness, very few icons uphold the Bengali feminine spirit as Debi Choudhurani does.<br />
