Ten years after launching its mission to create a streaming home for Bengali stories, Hoichoi kicks off Season 10 with its broadest lineup yet, uniting beloved franchises, fresh original content, acclaimed creators, up-and -coming talents, and an expanding universe of entertainment that extends beyond streaming.

What started as a niche Bengali streaming platform has evolved into a global entertainment enterprise centered on Bengali intellectual property, encompassing streaming, content licensing, theatrical releases, branded entertainment, technology, and innovative formats. Over the past decade, Hoichoi has kept evolving while remaining grounded in a central conviction: Bengali stories can be deeply connected to their culture and still resonate across different regions, generations, and formats.

In the last ten years, Hoichoi has developed a library featuring more than 600 Bengali films and over 200 original series, extending its reach to audiences in India, Bangladesh, and global markets. The business has transformed from a subscription-based streaming service into a wider entertainment company driven by intellectual property, with its content now reaching audiences through licensing, theatrical releases, partnerships, and innovative formats.

The Season 10 lineup demonstrates that evolution through its wider scope. Featuring beloved franchises and literary adaptations, alongside gripping thrillers, supernatural tales, emotionally rich dramas, fresh emerging voices, and stories from across India and Bangladesh, the upcoming lineup offers a wide-ranging selection crafted to captivate both longtime fans and newer viewers.

Bangladesh has also become a key component of Hoichoi’s Bengali storytelling universe, as the platform keeps investing in local creators, stories, and productions. The Bangladesh slate unites seasoned and up-and-coming talent, enhancing Hoichoi’s capacity to narrate stories throughout the Bengali-speaking region while expanding its audience base on both sides of the border.

This ongoing collaboration with both seasoned and emerging talent across India and Bangladesh remains at the heart of Hoichoi’s creative vision, uniting renowned creators, up-and- coming directors, new performers, and unique voices that broaden the horizons of Bengali storytelling.

Though Bengali remains central to Hoichoi, the platform is increasingly aiming to extend Bengali intellectual property beyond language and geography. Via dubbing, licensing, adaptations, theatrical releases, and collaborations, stories originally produced on Hoichoi are gaining access to new audiences throughout India and global markets.
