Boli teaser: Hoichoi’s Bangladeshi original series introduces the world and people of Cheradiya in greed for power

The teaser for Hoichoi’s Bangladeshi original series Boli was dropped on the popular Bengali streaming platform’s Instagram handle and on YouTube. Sankhya Dasgupta has directed the series. The action-drama features Chanchal Chowdhury, Shohel Mondal, Sohana Saba, Safa Kabir, Salahuddin Lavlu, Ziaul Hoque Polash, Nasir Uddin Khan, Lutfur Rahman George, Iresh Zaker, and Kazi Roksana Ruma. The plot of the series is based on a folk tale and on the game of Boli.

The sneak-peak opens into the vast stretch of the island Cheradiya, on the banks of the Bay of Bengal. Here, the desire for money and power is the prime mover. And in conquering Cheradiya, lies the key to power. The characters are introduced swiftly, from Chanchal Chowdhury’s Sohrab to Shohel Mondal’s Rustom. Women join the gun-wielding power-seekers as they all take the reins of the narrative, from what is hinted amply in the teaser. Sharp intercuts take the viewers through glimpses of the characters and the deadly, dark world they inhabit. Stylised cinematography apart, the teaser hints at a gripping tale of trials and triggers for power.

The series is slated to release this December on Hoichoi. The series joins the slate of 20 odd additions in Hoichoi Season 5’s content galore. More details are awaited.
