Criticism
Kamlapati Khatri, the grandson of the novel's author, has said that the producer 'had not done justice to the soul of Khatri's Chandrakanta'. He has also accused the producers of willfully misrepresenting certain concepts from the novel, such as 'tilism' (kind of a maze) and 'ayyari' (spying), and showing them as 'jaado-tona' (sorcery), as well as criticising the characters and the sequences in the Chunar fort for being overly exaggerated, and how far into the show the Chandrakanta appeared.[3]
