Dadagiri Unlimited:
When it comes to binge-watching, Sourav Ganguly-hosted ‘Dadagiri Unlimited’ unarguably occupies a position in the list. Thanks to Dada’s wit and eloquence, the show is always a hit.

Mirakkel Akkel Challenger:
Mir Afsar Ali’s show ‘Mirakkel Akkel Challenger’ is one of the most popular non-fiction shows on Bengali television. Mir’s one-liners can leave you in splits at any time.

Happy Parents'Day
Veteran actor Debshankar Halder-hosted show Happy Parents' Day was a huge hit. This Bengali show definitely deserves a second watch during this unexpected quarantine.
Ke Hobe Banglar Kotipoti
Prosenjit Chatterjee aka Bumba da’s charm as a TV host is special. The very own Bengali version of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, had many interesting episodes with Soumitra Chatterjee, Rituparna Sen and cricketer Jhulan Goswami, to name a few.
Ghosh and Co.
From film actor Rahul Bose to singer Shreya Ghosal, the chat show hosted by late director Rituporno Ghosh has welcomed many guests. The show is worth a mention and Rani Mukherji’s candid chat on Mir’s controversial episode is definitely one of the favourites of the Bengali TV audience. (Photo: Facebook)
