Indubala Bhaater Hotel

Starring Subhashree Ganguly in her web debut, Indubala Bhaater Hotel, directed by Debaloy Bhattacharya, unfolds against the backdrop of immigration. This story is the journey of Indubala — from her village in Bangladesh to her new life in India — who becomes an entrepreneur. “Indubala is a character that I really enjoyed playing. She’s a woman who stood strong in the face of the adversities that came her way and built a business all on her own, driven by sheer passion and determination. This is a kind of a character that I relate to and look up to and it was a treat playing her. Also, making my OTT debut with a series like this is definitely monumental, to say the least,” said Subhashree.

DM Mallika

Being in politics is tough, and it becomes tougher when you’re specially-abled. A story of succeeding in the face of strife, DM Mallika marks Raj Chakraborty’s directorial web debut.

Talking about making his OTT debut on Hoichoi with DM Mallika, director Raj Chakraborty said, “From Chirodini Tumi Je Amar to Adventures of Jojo I have always taken up the ‘challenge’ to entertain my audience. After entertaining my audiences on the big screen, it’s time to move to the OTT space with my new series, DM Mallika,” says Raj.

Troilokkyo

For his first Hoichoi show, director Arindam Sil goes back in time to tell the story of a woman serial killer, Troilokkyo, based on Raar Kahini by Debarati Mukhopadhyay. “This is the story of an exceptional woman... how she moves from a village to the city; her hopes, dreams and aspirations and her transformation from a simple village girl to a prostitute in yesteryear Calcutta. A phenomenon in herself, Troilokkyo and her lover Kali Babu became con artists before the journey took a murderous turn. Troilokkyo managed to escape every time and continued her reign, based on sheer wit and trickery. Troilokkyo went on to terrorise Calcutta,” says Sil.

Feluda — Bhuswargo Bhoyonkawr

After the success of Feludar Goyendagiri: Darjeeling Jawmjawmat, which notched up the highest views on the platform in its launch weekend, Tota Roy Choudhury as Feluda, Anirban Chakrabarti as Jatayu and Kalpan Mitra as Topshe will return for another season of Feluda.

The story of Bhuswargo Bhoyonkawr, directed by Srijit Mukherji, is set in Kashmir.

“The love that the audiences have showered on Feluda, when it came to Hoichoi for the first time was genuinely overwhelming and we obviously had to return for another season. Set in another gorgeous mountainous terrain, we are all set to bring to life another one of Feluda’s popular and extremely loved adventures,” said Srijit.

Professor Bhootnath

After the success of Tiktiki, director Dhrubo Banerjee reunites with Hoichoi to bring a story that has adventure, comedy and ghosts galore! Professor Bhootnath and his gang of four oddballs go on a quest to fight these irregular ghosts.

Talking about this quirky and fun creation and his thoughts behind it, director Dhrubo Banerjee said, “The moment we think of ghosts, we think of horror or a negative emotion, but I don’t think that’s all there is to it. With Professor Bhootnath, we want to give to our audiences a story that is funny and engaging and a protagonist whose personality appeals to kids and adults alike. I think it’s time we changed the narrative and gave our viewers wholesome entertainment when it comes to the supernatural.”

Bodhon

Sandipta Sen and Ditipriya Roy star in the web series Bodhon, which streams on Hoichoi this Puja. Directed by Aditi Roy, the series marks the return of this talented pair of actors who had shared screen space in television before. Talking about her role in the series, Sandipta Sen said: “The first thing about Bodhon that had appealed to me was its concept. I play Raka Sen who is a professor. The journey of Raka begins after she joins the college where she once used to study. Raka’s meeting with Shinjini, portrayed by Ditipriya, her student, plays a pivotal role in narrating a powerful tale of two women.

Working on this series was an enriching experience,’’ said Ditipriya.
