Karamchand

For the major political and spiritual leader of India, see Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

Karamchand was a popular Indian detective TV series telecast in the 1980s. It was broadcast on India's national television channel DD National, and was one of India's first detective series. The title character was played by noted actor Pankaj Kapur, whose son Shahid Kapoor is now a prominent bollywood actor. The role of his assistant Kitty was played by Sushmita Mukherjee. Famous music director duo Anand-Milind composed the theme music and title track for the series.

Sony Entertainment Television revived this serial in February 2007. Pankaj Kapur reprised his role as the carrot chewing Karamchand while Kitty was played by Sucheta Khanna. The second version of the program aired on Saturdays at 9:00 PM. However, it failed to create the same magic.
