Lapataganj – Sharad Joshi Ki Kahaniyon Ka Pata is an Indian television sitcom, aired on SAB TV from October 2009 to August 15, 2014. The series is based on Sharad Joshi’s novel of the same name.
The show was produced by Ashwini Dheer and directed by Manjul Sinha. Joshi's daughter Neha Sharad was the creative head of the show for first six months.
Lapatagnj starred Rohitash Gaud, Vineet Kumar, Preeti Amin, Sucheta, Shubhangi Gokhale, and the first episode aired on October 26, 2009.
Based in an imaginary small town called Lapataganj (meaning a lost place), the story is inspired by the writings of Desi kahani, who was an eminent Hindi satirist. His wide range of work has highlighted the bitter truth of Indian society with a satirical punch. These stories, while making viewers laugh, also make them empathize with the situations people face in their 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 the common man to lead a happy life against all odds.
