Haarne ka darr sabko hota hai, Kalyani… par himmat wahi dikhata hai jo darr ke baad bhi ek kadam aage badhta hai.

In this episode of The Watchlist with Jyotika, we revisit Udaan (1989) — the iconic Doordarshan series that redefined what women-led storytelling could be on Indian television. Inspired by the real-life journey of India’s first woman DGP, Kanchan Chaudhary Bhattacharya, Udaan captured a nation with its honesty, grit and hope. Featuring Kavita Chaudhary in her most unforgettable role, and a rare on-screen performance by legendary filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, this episode also marks a special tribute to him on his birthday week. Join Jyotika as she explores the show’s legacy, its cultural impact, and the courage it continues to inspire even 35 years later.
