Bengali Streamer Unveils 25+ New Shows for 10th Year

Bengali streamer Hoichoi is marking its 10th anniversary by launching more than 25 new series, films, and TV productions. The anniversary slate includes a new film, "Maharaja Tomare Selam," directed by Srijit Mukherji, which chronicles Satyajit Ray's journey in creating the classic "Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne." This release is part of a larger collection that also features new cases for the detectives Feluda and Eken Babu, with "Feludar Goyendagiri: Baksho Rawhoshyo" and "The Eken: Kerala-e Kurukshetra" set to debut.

The streamer's upcoming content also includes "Jononi," directed by Parambrata Chatterjee, and "Bhugun" by Debaloy Bhattacharya, which delves into a family curse. Hoichoi is expanding its offerings with its first animated series, "Shri Ramkrishna," a biographical depiction of the spiritual master. Several returning franchises, such as "Birangana 2" and "Tansener Tanpura: Mohonbashi," are also slated for new seasons.

Hoichoi's future strategy involves embracing technology, including AI tools for development and production, and exploring new formats like Hoichoi FM and microdrama through Sooper. The platform, which hosts over 600 Bengali films and 200 original series, aims to grow its global business by expanding its offerings and leveraging new possibilities beyond traditional content delivery, as stated by co-founder Vishnu Mohta.
