It Happened in Calcutta (ZEE5 and ALTBalaji)

Karan Kundrra plays the character of Ronobir, a student of Calcutta Medical College and a handsome Casanova. No only he is brilliant with his academic record but also has girls drooling all over him. The show is all set to give you an interesting take on romance and relationships set in the City of Joy during the ’60s and ’70s. This epic love saga begins at a time when retro was the look and brain drain rampant in the country, moving into the period when country was battling war and cholera.

The opening scene of this romantic drama set in Calcutta in the 1960s is enough to make you wonder, what happened between Ronobir and Kusum. As you ponder over the same, next you can hear is Ronobir telling us how everything started and how ‘It happened in Calcutta’.

‘It happened in Calcutta’ revolves around a charming casanova of Calcutta Medical College, Ronobir Chatterjee and the only female MBBS student in the college, Kusum Ganguly. These two are poles apart but as it goes, ‘Opposites Attract Each Other’, Kusum ends up falling for the guy she despises from the first day after seeing him getting intimate with a college faculty.

Set in 1960s-70s in ‘City of Joy’ Calcutta, the series tries to portray what the city looked like back then but fails to do so entirely. ‘It happened in Calcutta’ is all about evoking that retro feel be it through attire, music, parties or Ronobir’s shining red ambassador,  but when it comes to showing Calcutta it is clearly invisible. It seems as if the city shown in the series lacks the beautiful Bengali culture.
