Betaal Pachisi
Betaal Pachisi is a Phantom-inspired Indian TV serial, starring Shahbaz Khan, Tom Alter, Sonu Walia, and directed by Sunil Agnihotri. It was first aired in May, 1997 on the Doordarshan TV network of India. Each episode was half an hour long and in the Hindi language. The serial has long been discontinued. The picture on the side is a still image from the serial. Notice the similarity between the hero's costume and that of the Phantom, except for the red colour and the fact that Betaal (Sanskrit for “Phantom”) does not cover his face!
