Our verdict
Chandra Nandni is a committed historical romance that gives Rajat Tokas and Shweta Basu Prasad a full 286 episodes to play out the Chandragupta–Nandni story. The 22-minute episodes and StarPlus run make it easy to sample, though the length demands patience. If you like Ekta Kapoor's serialised style and the Maurya-era setting, it is worth a look.
