Phulwa (English: Flower) (also known as Phulwa Choti Dulhan) was an Indian television drama on the Indian Channel Colors HD. It is set against the backdrop of Chambal forest near Morena, Madhya Pradesh. The story is loosely based on the life of Phoolan Devi, the dacoit-turned politician.
The series revolves around a little village girl named Phulwa (whose name literally means "flower"), living in a bandit-infested part of India. She is very sweet, innocent and loving, but, unluckily, gets caught in the middle of a ruthless feud. She loses most of her family, as well as her childlike innocence, at an early age.
Phulwa has a much older foster brother named Bhavani (Prashant Narayanan), who is a bandit. Shankar (Angad Hasija), who wants to take revenge against Bhavani, abducts Phulwa. Circumstances make it appear that Shankar and Phulwa are married to each other. The village council (panchayat) decides that they have to stay together as a couple, though Shankar is nearly three times older than Phulwa. After some misadventures, Phulwa starts living at Shankar's house. Shankar believes that Bhavani killed his elder brother and sister-in-law. Moreover, Shankar's younger sister Mahua (Wasna Ahmed) was in love with Bhavani and he left her.
Shankar grows fond of the innocent little Phulwa. He tries to make amends for his earlier actions, which had spoiled her life. Phulwa starts idolizing Shankar and calls him 'Masterji' out of respect. Sharbati, a distant relative, is interested in marrying Shankar, but he does not encourage her.
The local landlord and politician, Bade Thakur a.k.a. Daroga Singh, sends a proposal for Mahua to marry his son, Chhote Thakur. Mahua runs away from the wedding because she still loves Bhavani. Chhote Thakur finds her and kills her. Later, Shankar learns that the Thakur father-son duo, not Bhavani, had killed his brother and sister-in-law. The Thakurs — with Sharbati's help — capture Phulwa, her parents and siblings. Shankar and Bhavani go to rescue them. Bhavani saves Phulwa and her brother Babu, but Phulwa's parents and Shankar are killed. Phulwa and Babu accompany Bhavani to the hide-out of his bandit group. Phulwa swears to take revenge for the deaths of 'Masterji' (Shankar) and her parents. She joins the bandits.
