This is a significant milestone for the OTT platform, marking its foray into mythological and historical adaptations. This adaptation will feature Rajnandini Pal as Goddess Durga and Rohan Bhattacharya as Lord Shiva.
Directed by Sayantan Mukherjee, who used miniature sets for the shooting, the series promises to captivate audiences with its unique storytelling and captivating visuals. The narrative will explore the various forms of Goddess Durga, including her victory over Mahishasura and other demons and the story of Sati’s body parts being scattered, in a way that will leave you intrigued and wanting more.
The show’s creators aim to highlight the power of female energy throughout the ages, making it not just a historical tale but a story that resonates with contemporary audiences. With its release slated for October 2, fans can look forward to an immersive experience celebrating the triumph of good over evil and feeling a strong connection to the narrative.
This adaptation joins other popular Mahishasurmardini productions, including those featuring Koyal Mallick in Star Jalsha and Subhashree Ganguly Zee Bangla as Goddess Durga. However, DD Bangla’s version featuring Sanjukta Bandopadhyay remains a timeless favorite among audiences, creating a sense of community among fans of these adaptations.
