The Zee5 series Kaantaye Kaantaye, based on Narayan Sanyal’s iconic novel Sonar Kanta, blends suspense with emotion. Set against the backdrop of Darjeeling, Kaantaye Kaantaye draws viewers into the world of P.K. Basu, played by Saswata Chatterjee. The narrative unfolds as Basu, a brilliant advocate haunted by the loss of his daughter, confronts a killer within the walls of the isolated hotel Repose. With a storm severing all ties with the outside world, P.K. Basu navigates a labyrinth of secrets and lies to uncover the murderer before it’s too late.

“Adapting Narayan Sanyal’s beloved Sonar Kanta has been an enriching experience. We’ve infused modern elements while preserving the emotional depth of the original, creating a thriller that’s both engaging and thought-provoking. The series explores themes of grief, justice, and resilience, set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of Darjeeling,” said Joydeep Mukherjee.

Saswata Chatterjee opened up about his role as P.K. Basu. “Portraying Basu has been a profound journey. He’s a man of intellect and emotion, grappling with personal loss while navigating a perilous situation. Basu’s character is about overcoming one’s own demons to seek justice, and I’m thrilled for the audience to accompany him on this suspenseful ride.”
