NewsBytes Recommends: 'Ganoshotru'--Bengal's biggest criminals, their crimes, and consequences
The trailer for "Ganoshotru," a new Bengali web series, just dropped—and it dives straight into Bengal's most infamous real-life criminals.
From India's first female serial killer to a flashy gangster, the show promises gripping stories about crime and how it shapes society.
Cast and crew
The cast is stacked: Paoli stars as Troilokya Devi (India's first female serial killer), Rudranil Ghosh plays Hubba Shyamal (the larger-than-life gangster), Ayush Das is Sajal Barui (the parricidal teen), Subrata Dutta takes on Rashid Khan (behind the 1993 Bowbazar blast), and Debopriyo Mukherjee embodies the sinister Chainman.
Directed by a team including Madhura Palit, Sayan Dasgupta, Samik Roy Chowdhury, Abhirup Ghosh, and Srimanta Sengupta, each episode explores what drove these criminals and the world they lived in.
"Ganoshotru" starts streaming soon on Hoichoi.
