Sabyasachi Chowdhury, Sushmili Acharjya, and Payel De star in Ramprasad on Star Jalsha. As the legend goes, Ramprasad was born into a Bengali Baidya family during a time of political unrest and power changes in society and brought about peace in turbulence with his soulful songs. His poems and songs, popularly known as Ramprasadi, are admired by millions. The story celebrates the journey of Ramprasad who besides being an ardent devotee of Goddess Kali also continued with all his household responsibilities as a husband and father.

The story elaborates on how Ramprasad, being a dedicated family man with a loving wife Sarbani and children, pursued his quest for divinity through his poems and songs. Sarbani was the most significant support in his life as a family man and in his journey of devotion. The soulful title track of the show, Ramprasad, has been sung by Shaan.
