The story begins in January 1681, when Mughal emperor Aurangzeb receives the news of the death of Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The Mughal emperor breathes a sigh of relief upon receiving this news and thinks that now he will easily capture the Maratha empire of Deccan. However, he fails to realise the power of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, alias Chhaava. Amid all this, Chhaava attacks Burhanpur and defeats the Mughals. For the unversed, Burhanpur was the most valuable city of the Mughals in that era. Celebrating this victory, Chhaava warns Aurangzeb not to cast his evil eye on Deccan.
After this defeat, Aurangzeb gets furious and, in anger, vows to end the Maratha empire and establish the Mughal empire. He also vows to capture Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. On the other hand, Sambhaji makes strategies with his army to deal with and defeat the Mughal army. Along with several interesting twists, Chhaava’s bond with Yesubai is explored.
