Shubho Noboborsho + Long Weekend Binge Recommendations

 Hello, hello,

Shubho Noboborsho to any Bengali person seeing this! I hope the coming year is full of good health and happiness! 

Happy Vishu, Bihu, Baisakhi and Pana Sankranti to all our friends from various parts of the country! Hope your coming year is full of good health and happiness! 

Blessed Good Friday to everyone observing this day. 

So, since this is a long weekend in many parts of the world, I thought I'd share some binge-worthy recommendations. 

Let's get into it, shall we? 

1. Kakababur Protyaborton

Kakababu (the detective created by Sunil Gangopadhyay) is back! This time murder and mayhem find him and Santu during a vacation to Kenya! A good one to watch with kids or even without! 

Kakababur Protyaborton is streaming on Hoichoi. 

2. Abhay Season 3 

Abhay returns for Season 3 and this time with a slew of interesting murders involving a cult! This season was so good! I really enjoyed it! 

Abhay Season 3 is streaming on Zee5. 

3. Business Proposal 

If you are in the mood for a fluffy, funny, ridiculously cute Korean shown, then may I recommend Business Proposal?! When Ha-ri goes instead of her best friend- Young-seo, to meet a prospective groom, little does she know that the groom in question is her strict super-boss- President Kang Tae-Moo! Even though Ha-ri acts outrageously, Tae-Moo keeps insisting on seeing her again and even proposes marriage! Thus starts an insane love story full of comic capers and heartwarming moments. 

Business Proposal is streaming on Netflix. 

4. CODA

This year's Academy Award winner for Best Picture- CODA- truly deserves it! As the only hearing person in a family of hearing impaired, Ruby, often feels trapped. She wants to pursue music but her family needs her to help them navigate the world of the hearing, especially, when it comes to their fishing business. The movie follows the journey of Ruby trying to create a future for herself whilst not disappointing her family. Definitely worth a watch!

CODA is available on Apple TV+. 

5. Jimmy Saville: A British Horror Story 

Jimmy Saville was a British DJ and TV show host, who worked for the BBC for nearly 55 years. He hosted a popular kids' show called 'Jim'll Fix It' and 'Top of the Pops'. He was also know for doing a lot of fundraising, especially, for hospitals. This documentary exposes his crimes against children and patients of the hospitals where he served. A truly horrific and shocking story. 

Jimmy Saville: A British Horror Story is streaming on Netflix. 

6. Dasvi 

 Gangaram Chaudhury is the CM of a state and is in jail on some corruption charges. When the honest IPS officer, who he got transferred for doing her job honestly, becomes the jailer and taunts him on not even being a 10th-pass, Gangaram decides to appear for his Class 10 exams!

A decent, fun movie with some hilarious moments. 

Dasvi is streaming on Netflix. 

7. Mai 

Sheel leads a simple life with a loving husband and a speech-impaired daughter. When her daughter is killed in front of her eyes and the drunk truck driver hints that he was asked to kill her, Sheel sets off on a journey to find what caused her daughter's death and to extract some good ol' fashioned revenge!

Mai is streaming on Netflix. 

Have a great, long weekend, y'all!
