The series

চঞ্চলের কাণ্ডকারখানা
an illustrated Bengali story theatre

Chanchal will do anything for the boss, except his own work. Each episode is drawn in watercolour and pencil, voiced in Bengali, and built around a very Bengali situation: a new MD, a Mahalaya dawn at the ghat, 108 lotuses for Sandhi Puja, the last local train home.

Office comedies, festival specials and the occasional ghost story. Several episodes carry English subtitles.

    Illustration, voice, animatic motion and edit, in the show's locked watercolour-and-pencil style, within the agreed revision rounds.
