Byomkesh Most Popular, New Series on the Anvil

Kolkata: Byomkesh has emerged as the most popular Bengali series to be streamed over the internet. This has prompted the production house to announce a fresh series with the iconic Bengali fictional detective created by author Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay.

The series is directed by Sayantan Ghoshal and Soumik Chattopadhyay.

Adult comedy Dupur Thakurpo and the thriller Hello! bagged the second and third spots respectively.

All three series are streamed over Hoichoi.

A senior official of the production house told RBN, “Among all the web-series, Byomkesh was watched the maximum number of times in the past year.” He, however, declined to reveal the actual number of hits the series got.
