Ratings and reviews

This a great app with contents that actually shows the real bengali culture. Kindly launch this app for Samsung TV Tizen OS as Samsung TV users can't watch the shows on their TV as of now

The subscription fee seemed high for me. There is no series which is fully free. They often keep one episode free and the rest are locked. I installed it seeing the ad on Facebook but they never told me anywhere in the ad that I need to buy a subscription. I hope, they will increase their free materials in the early stages.

What stands out is how Bengali it still feels. The silences, the conversations, the emotions..none of it feels diluted for mass appeal. It’s soothing in a way most OTT platforms have forgotten how to be. Also, the subscription price is reasonable. No overpricing. waiting for more contents.
