Khorkuto is a 2020 Indian Bengali-language romantic comedy drama television series that premiered on 17 August 2020[1] and airs on Bengali General Entertainment Channel Star Jalsha and is also available on the digital platform Disney+ Hotstar.[2] The show is produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures of Saibal Banerjee and Leena Gangopadhyay and starred Trina Saha Bhattacharya and Koushik Roy.[3] The show's plotline and characters seem to have been heavily inspired from a previous show produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures, Kojagori.
Plot
Gungun, a sophisticated upper-class girl, crosses paths with Soujanyo, a scholar who belongs to a middle-class joint family, and everything changes. Apart from a beautiful love story, ‘Khorkuto’ narrates the tale of a joint family, its roots and beliefs. After a few meetings with Soujanyo, Gungun's father decides to marry Gungun off with Soujanyo to teach her morals and ethics. Although Gungun is a little ill-mannered, she is very good at heart and gets deserved love from Soujanyo' s family. She becomes a part of the family and stands by them through all their difficulties.[4] [5]
The show came to an end on 21 August 2022 with the sudden death of Gungun and the story jumps to 25 years later when Soujanya and Gungun's son, Dr. Sourin "Ishaan" Mukherjee, an oncologist, crosses paths with Dr. Shrotoshwini "Gungun" Majumder, a therapist in the hospital, the whole family rejoice on seeing the repeating story of Soujanya and Gungun to the next generation.
