I am a great fan of movies from down south and watch selective Hindi movies and almost no current movies from Bengali, Marathi, etc. Languages that I am able to comprehend.

The Covid times changed my reading and watching styles. The long lockdown made me explore new authors on Kindle with a veritable abuse of Kindle Unlimited limits and movies and series in all languages on OTT. While browsing the apps I discovered Hoichoi, which deals with Bengali content and loved its all pervading strong content and collection.

Several Bangla actors from both sides of the border caught my eye apart from seasoned people like Prosenjit and Rituparno.

Rithwick featured in many of them and caught my eye with Macher Jhol and the superlative Vinci da.

This series is a courtroom drama based on a murder accused from a very prominent family and the usual family drama and blaming and shaming and controversies.

The fare s bland and is brought to high levels with a super performance by Rithwick who stands upto Saswata (a strong actor but somehow not very well written here) very well with equal doses of trepidation, dry humour, sensitivity and strength.

This is everything that Jaha Bolibo Shotto Bolibo 2024 should be but is so far not (watching 4th out of 6 episodes with Mimi no Rithwick).

This is a series that is worth watching.
