About Sankalp
SANKALP is a premium Indian socio-political drama that explores how power is manufactured not through elections, but through mentorship and institutional control. Inspired by the ancient Chanakya–Chandragupta chronicles, the series reimagines political strategy for modern India, where classrooms replace battlefields and bureaucrats replace soldiers.

With its mix of strategy, ideology and personal conflict, Sankalp ultimately stands as a thought-provoking exploration of how power operates—not just in politics, but in the relationships that shape it.

On the whole, SANKALP rests on a compelling storyline and strong performances by Nana Patekar and the other lead actors. However, the excessive length, silly goings-on and weak climax dilute the impact. Nevertheless, the show should manage to garner viewership due to its mass-appealing treatment and casting.
