Jai Kali Kalkattawali (Bengali: জয় কালী কালকাত্তায়ালি, yāi kālī kālakāttāy.āli) is an Indian Bengali language anthology crime "Chalo Paltai" drama series that premiered on 24 July 2017 starring Ananya Chatterjee and Biswanath Basu. It was produced by Shree Venkatesh Films. It went off-air on 1 June 2019, airing 661 episodes. It was re-aired on Star Jalsha and Star Jalsha HD during lockdown period, due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Abhaya is a detective who is also a devotee of Goddess Kali, and a saviour in disguise for women. Abhaya was brought up by her in-laws from the age of six after her mother's death due to domestic violence. Her father was a priest of the Mukherjees; he died after leaving her to her in-laws.
The show starts with Abhaya's childhood, where she goes to pray to Goddess Kali but witnesses her mother facing domestic violence, being murdered and burned in fire, which she perceives as a terrible dream. She suddenly wakes up, but the dream of her mother's death constantly haunts her. She is also a devotee of Goddess Kali and a housewife of the Mukherjees. Sometimes, to catch criminals, she disguises herself.
As she confronts it, the story follows Abhaya, a docile homemaker from a traditional Bengali family who crusades against injustice towards women. It shows how she uses her skills to solve crimes and catch criminals while looking after her family.
The show ended with Radharani fixing a time bomb in Abhaya's chair, where Abhaya successfully wins, Radharani dies, and at the very end, it was shown Abhaya saying a few words.
