Shivlok Ke Kundakka Mandakka is an Indian animated children's television series based on The Very, Extremely, Most Naughty Asura Tales for Kids, a book by the writer Anand Neelakantan. It premiered on ZEE5's KidZ platform on 17 July 2026, in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali and English.
Premise The series follows Kundakka and Mandakka, twin Asura brothers known for their pranks. Their mother, Rambhika, sends them to the Asura Gurukul, hoping its discipline will improve their behaviour, but the twins clash with older students and their teacher, Guru Mantasari. They form a bond with another teacher, Rutvija, who is half-human and half-Asura.
While exploring a restricted chamber at the school, the twins accidentally awaken the spirits of past Asura warriors, including Raktbeej and Dhoomralochan. This leads them on a series of adventures beyond the Gurukul, in which they encounter various creatures, including a talking goat named Nakura, and learn more about Asura history.
The twins' father, Mahakunda, also appears in the series, and later episodes introduce a wider threat connected to the Gurukul.
Background The series airs on KidZ, ZEE5's children's programming block. Neelakantan has written several books reinterpreting figures from Hindu mythology, including Asura: Tale of the Vanquished.
Release ZEE5 released a trailer for the series in the second week of July 2026.
