June 16, 2023 Story of ‘Jehanabad’ series Made under the banner of Sudhir Mishra, ‘Jehanabad – Of Love and War’ is inspired by a real incident. In 2005, 372 prisoners in Bihar’s Jehanabad escaped after a Naxalite attack by breaking the jail. Makers have woven a fictional story on the pretext of this famous case of failure of the administration in front of crime in Bihar. In the story, Deepak Kumar (Parambrata Chattopadhyay) is the commander of a Naxalite group, who is imprisoned. While the Naxal gang is planning a major attack to rescue him, the love story of Abhimanyu Singh (Ritvik Bhowmik), a new English professor in the college, and his student Kasturi Mishra (Hrishita Gaur) is also flourishing.

If you forget the inspiration behind Jehanabad – Of Love & War, the show is a deep-fried saga of the hard choices necessitated by the intersection of the personal and the political. The 10-episode series has been created and written by Rajeev Barnwal and directed by him and Satyanshu Singh. The creators bring together three plot strands that appear to have been woven from the same yarn that produced the Mani Ratnam film Dil Se.
