Plot

The story begins by focusing on three middle-class sisters – Khori, Dyuti and Boni whose fates get tied with those of the rich Singharoy brothers – Riddhiman, Rahul and Kunal. The story then shows the balance of the newlywed couples in their relationship, including family, love and responsibilities.

The story starts with Chandra (a greedy woman) a mother who wishes that someday her three daughters would marry into a wealthy family. But whose bond will form with who, the decision lies in the hands of god.

On Jagadhatri Puja, the extravaganza begins. The famed diamond merchants, the Singha Roys, observe Jagadhatri Puja every year. Khori, the second daughter of Chandra, has been given this year's task of decorating the entire Puja. Three sisters who reside with their parents. Her mother hopes that her daughters will marry into a prosperous household. Because of Khori's artistic talent, Chandra intends to accompany her daughters to the Singha Roy house. Her first daughter Dyuti is a greedy, selfish gold-digger. Because her mother pampers her, she turned out to be a spoilt, unlike her other two sisters who are good and well-mannered by nature. She is opportunistic by nature and often lies to get what she wants, just like her mother. Chandra wishes to marry into a wealthy family.

Chandra's second daughter, Khori is a pretty, intelligent, and kind and a talented and hardworking artist. She is an independent, outspoken and no-nonsense girl who everyone adores. She manages her father's art shop (Doshokarma Bhandar). Her artwork is very famous around the town. Even though she is very young, she has taken up all her household responsibilities. She loves her sisters more than anything. She sacrificed her art career for her sister Dyuti even though she was more talented, intelligent and educated than Dyuti who is very dull in everything.

On the other hand, Banishika aka Boni is a tomboy who loves sports and biking. She is the youngest daughter. She studies in college. Just like Khori, she is outspoken and brave. She always supports and stands beside Khori, and her family in times of need.

The Singha Roys are a joint family. They are big diamond merchants. They run a jewellery business under their family name "Singha Roy Jewellers". They are one of the richest families in the town. Three brothers in the family are adored by their grandparents the most. The family's youngest child is named Kunal. He is calm, composed and sweet nature. He is an artist. Rahul Sengupta is a playboy. He is of a carefree nature and envies Riddhiman. He does not belong to the Singha Roy family as he is the grandson of Singha Roy Jewellers manager. But the Singha Roy family still considers him as their own child and loves him. He feels inferior to Riddhiman, so he always tries to trouble him. Riddhiman is Singha Roy's eldest son (he is three months younger than Rahul). Among the three, he is the most adored. He has assumed leadership of his family's business as he is the eldest. Even though he looks haughty from the outside. He is a well-mannered and law abiding man. Just like Khori he is outspoken, as he cannot tolerate injustice and always puts his family first, before himself. He loves his brothers more than anything.

Soon Khori and Riddhiman meet, and develop immense hatred for each other at first sight. But, due to unavoidable circumstances, they are forced to tie the knot and unwillingly marry. Both Khori and Riddhiman refuse to accept the marriage. Even though their ideologies, thoughts, nature and behaviour matches, but still, due to misunderstandings they cannot stand the sight of each other. But very soon Riddhiman falls in love with Khori as he realises that she was always the girl of his dreams. He soon realises that Khori has everything-beauty, values, talent, honesty and courage he always searched for in a girl. How they both fall deeply in love each other, how Khori establishes herself as a famous artist, and how Khori and Riddhi overcome all obstacles in their lives together form the crux of the story. It also shows the parallel lives of Khori's sisters, Dyuti and Boni, and Riddhiman's brothers, Rahul and Kunal and their respective journeys.

2 years later

Khori gives birth to a son, named Ayushmaan, while Dyuti gives birth to a daughter, named Disha. But Khori dies during the delivery, due to the complications of her pregnancy, leaving a shock for the family.

20 years later

Riddhiman still loves Khori deeply and misses her. He has spent the last twenty years of his life fulfilling Khori's last wish of providing education to children who are talented, but do not have the required resources to complete their dreams, just like her, who had to leave her education to support her family. He holds Ayushmaan responsible for Khori's death, therefore; he has never paid any attention to his son in all these years.

Ayushmaan is an aspiring musician, who his father, Riddhiman neglects. Ayushmaan wishes to win his father's love. Soon, a young, aspiring, pretty and innocent classical singer, named Ganga enters his life, beginning the start of a new chapter of fate.

Reception

Critical reception

The pair of Gourab Chatterjee and Solanki Roy as Riddhiman and Khori is one of the most popular pair of Bengali Television.[9] [10] Their chemistry in the show is immensely popular in the audience and media that the audience popularly named them "Khoriddhi". The eyes of the audience are always glued to the TV to see Riddhiman-Khori's chemistry. It was Solanki-Gourab's reel chemistry, that turned out to be the USP of the show. Protagonists, Khori and Riddhiman became one of the most popular jodis on Bengali TV and their crackling chemistry worked in show's favour too.

Gaatchora was consistently praised for its different storyline and concept because of which it consistently gained top position in TRP list.[11] The show's storyline never featured love triangles, numerous marriage tracks, extra-marital affairs, adultery, 3rd person involvement, kitchen politics as other shows had, because of which it always ruled the TRP charts.[12] [13] From beginning people liked the different storyline and the headstrong characters portrayed by the actors.

In Bengali serials, the main attraction is usually considered the female lead character. However even Riddhiman's character was so popular that during the track of Kunal's wedding where his character was not seen for a few episodes in show, the show's TRP immediately declined, at that time Gaatchora was dominating the top spot in TRP but with departure of Riddhiman it lost the top spot in TRP list. Audience demanded for the return of the Riddhiman on social media as they missed Riddhiman. Because of the huge demand of fans Gourab Chatterjee had shoot the scenes on his phone with help of his wife from abroad and send it via WhatsApp.[14] [15] In this series, each and every character got immense popularity including villains like Rahul and Dyuti.[16] Later Solanki Roy left the show because of her health problems.[17] As Khori's character was very popular among the audience and in mainstream media, fans boycotted the serial after Solanki Roy's exit, and the show received immense backlash.[18]

Gaatchora became the most watched television series on Bengal television. The series soon became the top rated Bengali television program garnering a record viewership and maintaining the first position consistently in the BARC's weekly viewership charts.[19]
