Makers of Criminal Justice team up with Indian comic book giant Amar Chitra Katha to adapt its stories into animated web series

The stories are rooted in Indian mythology and culture
Those who have grown up during the ’90s will tell you that they swore by stories of Amar Chitra Katha as much as they devoured The Famous Five and Nancy Drew. The indigenous comic book series had a way of simplifying Indian mythology and folk tales, thus familiarising children with stories rooted in Indian culture. Now, Applause Entertainment, the content studio behind acclaimed web series such as Criminal Justice and Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020), is set to offer a retelling of the popular titles of Amar Chitra Katha through an animated web series. The studio has acquired the license to the comic book series’ library of 400-plus titles, including those revolving around Lord Krishna, and Hanuman.
