Bengali streaming platform Hoichoi has announced a new slate of over 25 films and series as it celebrates its tenth anniversary. The service, which currently offers a library of over 600 films and 200 original series, serves viewers across India, Bangladesh, and international markets.
Why it matters
The company aims to significantly expand its platform capabilities and content offerings as it enters its next decade of operation. This move signals a push to broaden its influence across global Bengali-speaking audiences through diversified media formats.
Hoichoi has operated for 10 years, building a proprietary tech platform that supports over 800 total titles. The company also tracks performance metrics for its new microdrama venture, Sooper, and its audio fiction service, Hoichoi FM.

The new slate includes projects such as the 17th-century set film Agambagish: Drolmar Khorgo, an Eken Babu entry set in Kerala, and the film Shrimoti Not Out featuring a 48-year-old protagonist.

Industry Dynamics
Hoichoi's expansion reflects the ongoing expansion of regional-language streaming services in South Asia. This strategy positions the streamer to capture higher market share against global platforms by focusing on niche cultural narratives and proprietary AI-driven development tools.
