Based in an imaginary small town called “Lapataganj” (means a lost
place), the story is inspired from the writings of Sharad Joshi-who was
an eminent Hindi satirist. His wide range of work has highlighted the
bitter truth of our society with a satirical punch. These stories while
making us laugh; also make us empathize with the situations we face inour daily lives.
“Lapataganj” is a town in some part of India
which has been long forgotten by the system. The town struggles daily
for basic facilities yet the people residing there are the happiest of
the lot. The show captures the spirit of a common man to lead a happy
life against all odds.Satire is an important and inherent part of Indian humour. Lapataganj season 1 was a very successful attempt at capturing this and bringing satire to the Indian television screens. Lapataganj season 2 aims at carrying forward this legacy and once again meaningfully entertaining the audiences. The satire in this show is aimed at us, at our society at our politics and our leaders through a fictionalised village called Lapataganj where the common man of India struggles everyday and yet manages to keep a smile on his face.
The show will yet again portray the
everyday ailments in the life of the common man – in a very common
setup of a typical fictionalised Indian village- Lapataganj. The story
proceeds with a leap of 5 years but much like the previous season the
people of Lapataganj struggle daily for basic facilities yet residing
there happily.
