Chitrakatha: Indian Comics Beyond Balloons and Panels explores the largely untouched subject of Indian Comics as a serious art form. It covers the history, evolution, cultural - social significance as well as the future of Indian comics, through a series of conversational interviews with Indian Comic Book Creators.

Researched for over 5 years and shot across India, Chitrakatha is written, directed and produced by self-confessed life long comic book buff, addict and artist Alok Sharma.

Chitrakatha features three generations of Comic Book Artists discussing the medium, the passion and the idea that went behind these comic books which cut across the lingual boundaries and are fondly remembered by millions of fans.

It also throws light on how Comics in India have very efficiently commented on contemporary social issues as well as proved to be a very effective educational tool.
