The audience are in for a fun romantic ride with a twist in the Uribaba web show Prem Game. It is a coming-of-age Bengali dating show that blends fiction with reality and brings out the quirky nature of the present- day dating scenario in Kolkata.
Shot in five different cafes in Kolkata — 5MM, Byloom Canteen, La Macario Cafe, Symi Cafe and Bianco — it is a mock dating show where people meet for the first time on a blind date and it turns out to be an exciting one.
Hosted by Kheya Chattopadhyay and Prosun Saha, the series will have five episodes releasing every week. Show creator Arkav said: “The idea behind making a fictional dating game show was to reflect the desires, expectations and assumptions of the urban youth when they set out to seek partners today. Having traditional Bengali hosts playing anchors, we wanted to compare the changing notions of love and romance, and show whether in matters of the heart some things actually change at all!”
Prem Game revolves around a fictional dating game show where five modern couples meet for blind dates set up by traditional Bengali hosts.
Creator Anusuya said: “Dating in 2021 is as difficult as it is easy. We are always looking for love but we are apprehensive about how vulnerable it makes us. In this age of online dating apps, we have brought out our classic matchmakers (or ghotoks, here) on these contemporary beings. What ensues is what you see in Prem Game.”
Founder-director Sourav Chakraborty is all excited about Prem Game: “I’m happy that a lot of young and new talents are coming up with exciting content for the audience. Through Uribaba we are trying to encourage these fresh ideas to turn into reality for our audience.” Prem Game created by Arkav Banerjee and Anusuya Mitra is streaming on Uribaba.
