F.I.R. is an Indian cop-based television sitcom that aired from 31 July 2006 to 23 January 2015, on SAB TV. The show was produced by Edit 2 Productions. [1]
F.I.R. is an acronym for First information report that the Indian police prepares for each case to be investigated. [2]
F.I.R. is a situational comedy serial centered on a Haryanvi female police officer named Chandramukhi Chautala and her three subordinates, Head Constable Gopinath Gandothra, Constable Mulayam Singh Gulgule and Constable Billu, who later joined the Chowki. The show depicted their lives as they try to solve every case which comes to their police station Imaan Chowki, Ravanpur. New cases come to the police station in every episode. An individual or a group comes with a complaint or a problem. Chandramukhi Chautala and her constables solve their case successfully. [3]
The show also had some love angles of Chandramukhi Chautala with the Chief Inspectors (with one at a time) of Imaan Chowki. First was Hanuman Prasad Pandey which was one-sided by Chandramukhi, second was Raj Aaryan which was one-sided by Raj, and the third was Bajrang Pandey, both he and Chandramukhi love each other but Bajrang fears to admit his love. [4]
The show took a 20-year leap on 16 March 2013 when Kavita Kaushik who played the lead role of Chandramukhi Chautala, departed from the show and Chitrashi Rawat was introduced as Jwalamukhi Chautala, Chandramukhi's daughter, who reveals that Chandramukhi married Hanuman Prasad Pandey. This 20-year-leap story wasn't much praised so the changes of 20-year leap were reverted on 8 July 2013 and the incidents which occurred in the 20-year leap were converted into constable Gopi's dream and the show then continued along with Chandramukhi Chautala's return.
