Chandragupta Maurya was an Indianhistorical fiction television show that aired on Sony TV from 14 November 2018 to 30 August 2019. Show is being now re-telecasting on IN10 Media's new Hindi Entertainment Channel Ishara TV. [3] The show is based on the life of Chandragupta Maurya, the first Mauryan emperor and founder of the Maurya Empire.[4] The show is produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary's One Life Studios.[5][6]
The show is a seamless continuation of One Life Studio's earlier show Porus.[7]
Plot[edit]
The show starts in 323 BCE, exactly after the deaths of the Paurava king Purushottam (nicknamed Puru, called Porus by foreigners) and the Macedonian emperor Alexander the Great. Alexander's general Seleucus Nicator is still in the India, having vassalised Ambhiraj (formerly Ambhikumar in the prequel Porus), the king of Takshashila and also captured the Paurava Kingdom after assassinating Puru. Chandragupta is a slave, and is supported in his antics by his friends.
Chanakya, a Takshashilan Brahmin, scholar and the former prime minister of the Paurava Kingdom arrives in Magadha, the most powerful of the 16 Mahajanapadas (kingdoms in the present-day Indian subcontinent) but ruled by the unjust and cruel Nanda emperor Dhana Nanda. He seeks his help in overthrowing the Macedonians out of India and uniting the Mahajanapadas. However, Dhana Nanda openly humiliates Chanakya in the court, mocking his dream of a united India and informs him that it was he who financially helped Seleucus assassinate Puru so that Seleucus will not attack Magadha. This prompts Chanakya to take a vow of eradicating the Nanda dynasty and putting a capable ruler on the throne of Magadha.
Dhana Nanda attempts to apprehend and execute Chanakya for his defiance but fails. Chanakya soon finds Chandragupta, and recognises him as someone who would be an able ruler of Magadha, and be responsible for a change in India. Dhana Nanda—unaware of Chandragupta's lineage—is also impressed by his talent and appoints him the bodyguard of his beloved younger sister Durdhara. Gradually, Durdhara develops a liking for Chandragupta.
Chanakya trains Chandragupta, and the latter comes to know of his lineage. He was the only son of Chandravardhan, the Maurya king of Piplivan who was treacherously defeated and killed by Dhana Nanda while his mother Mura was captured but before that she managed to send Chandragupta to safety and he was later sold as a slave. Chandragupta frees Mura and with the help of the former soldiers of Piplivan forms a small army.
Chandragupta faces Dhana Nanda in a series of encounters in which he manages to kill Dhana Nanda's elder brother Govishanaka and his foster brother and commander-in-chief Bhadrasaal but eventually gets badly defeated and is forced to retreat, with his entire army annihilated except for him, Chanakya, Mura and his close friend Sthoolbhadra. Before their defeat, Chandragupta managed to inform Durdhara that her father Mahapadma Nanda was killed by Dhana Nanda as he did not want him to divide the Nanda Empire between his eight sons. This totally estranges her from Dhana Nanda. Chandragupta and Chanakya arrive in Takshashila to seek the help of Seleucus. However, Ambhiraj manipulates Seleucus against them and they are thrown into a pit. Mura and Sthoolbhadra live in Takshashila in disguise as a yoga teacher and army officer, respectively.
5 years later[edit]
To prove to Durdhara that he is a worthy successor to his father, Dhana Nanda conquers 15 mahajanapadas, and now turns towards the last remaining janapada, Takshashila. Chandragupta comes out of the pit, along with Chanakya and other people who had been trapped in the pit earlier, including Purushottam's son Malayketu. Dhana Nanda faces the combined Macedonian and Takshashilan armies in an indecisive battle but eventually a peace treaty is signed according to which Dhana Nanda is promised the Paurava Kingdom. Chandragupta reunites with Mura, Sthoolbhadra and Durdhara.
With the help of Chanakya and Malayketu, Chandragupta unites the Macedonian and Paurava armies which defeat the Magadhan and Takshashilan armies, killing Ambhiraj and forcing Dhana Nanda and Ambhiraj's only son and heir, Ambhikumar to flee to Magadha. Later he uses the now kingless Takshashilan and Paurava army to force Seleucus to retreat as well, thus capturing Takshashila and the Paurava Kingdom (where Malayketu is enthroned). Durdhara and Chandragupta fall in love with each other and later marry. Chandragupta also encounters Dhana Nanda's former lover Tarini (who left Dhana Nanda due to his cruelty) and sends her to spy on Dhana Nanda. Oblivious to her truth, Dhana Nanda is overjoyed to reunite with Tarini and marries her.
Chandragupta faces Dhana Nanda (and later Seleucus who re-allies with Dhana Nanda to take revenge from Chandragupta) in a series of confrontations and eventually manages to kill Dhana Nanda, his remaining six elder brothers and Ambhikumar. Seleucus is captured but later freedon the condition that his daughter Helena would marry Chandragupta and he would return all the wealth he stole from India. On the other hand, Chandragupta also faces heavy losses, losing Mura, Durdhara (who before dying gave birth to his son and successor, Bindusara), Sthoolbhadra, Tarini and Malayketu (who passed on his kingdom to Chandragupta). Thus, Chandragupta fulfills Chanakya's vow and establishes himself as the first emperor of the Maurya Empire. Dhana Nanda's former prime minister, the Brahmin Rakshasa is spared by Chandragupta due to the immense knowledge he possesses, and he becomes his prime minister while Chanakya goes on to finish his treatise Arthashastra.

Reception[edit]
The show was largely well received. Writing for Zoom, Anusha Iyengar praised Sourabh Raj Jain's portrayal of Dhana Nanda and, based on the first episode, wrote, 'Chandragupta Maurya enjoys a good narration and a brilliant set design. The visuals are appealing and dialogues are even better.'[20] However, Anil Merani for IWM Buzz pointed out that the makers had added lot of fiction to history, for there is no record to the link of Porus, Chanakya and Magadh.[21]
