ZEE5 Global, OTT platform for South Asian content, hosts a wealth of Bangla stories which are known for their depth, realism and poignance, stories that shatter stereotypes and offer an unfiltered worldview. In line with this legacy of offering great Bangla content, the platform is now bringing to its viewers a new wave of compelling Bangla shows which continue to revolve around female protagonists.
On the occasion of Pohela Boishakh, the platform introduces a unique new fiction show titled Amader Ei Poth Jodi Na Sesh Hoy where a rich young girl rediscovers Kolkata, while following her passion of driving a taxi.
