We have watched a lot of good Bengali OTT content this past year and so, it is only right that we share the ones we loved the most.

Byomkesh Chorabali is a two-part telling of the famous Byomkesh story where a zamindar's daughter's maths teacher goes missing and is feared eaten by a man-eating tiger. Byomkesh investigates and unearths the truth. A good couple of episodes as always. Streaming on Hoichoi.
Damyanti is the new detective on the block. A history professor who is intrigued by human nature, Damyanti solves cases via her powers of observation and her ability to connect the dots.

Mohanagar is a brilliant Bangladeshi social thriller that is at once a police procedural and a searing commentary on income disparity and corruption. Do watch it! It is streaming on Hoichoi.
Money Honey is yet another Bangladeshi show about a trio of bank robbers, who plan and almost get away with a daring bank heist. Their struggles to escape the cops and some other interested, powerful parties makes this an immensely watchable show. Streaming on Hoichoi.
