Mohishashur Mordini: When and where to watch Mahalaya the first time on OTT

Durga Puja is just around the corner. A series of Bengali films are gearing up to get released. OTTplay reported earlier that Mahalaya-special Mohishashur Mordini will have an OTT version for the first time. Now, the platform has officially announced the show and released the first look of the show. 

According to the makers, the series brings forth the age-old mythology of Mahamaya for today’s audience, making it more accessible for the worldwide audience to watch Mahalaya in real-time.  The series is set to stream on Hoichoi from October 2 (This Mahalaya). 

Rajnandini Paul stars in it as Mahamaya, with the direction of Sayantan Mukherjee. The makers said that this release will offer the global Bengali diaspora a unique opportunity to engage with Mahalaya in a way that has never been done before.

Mohishashur Mordini explores the mythological journey of Adhya Shakti Maa Mahamaya, the supreme embodiment of the divine feminine, who emerges to restore balance and defeat ancient evils. From her various incarnations—such as Vindhyavasini, Durga, and Mahishasuramardini— she vanquishes powerful foes like Ghorasura and Mahishasura. The series also delves into significant mythological events, including Sati’s self-immolation and Shiva’s wrath, blending these tales into a powerful narrative. This series is particularly relevant in today’s times, as it celebrates women’s strength and resilience, positioning the divine feminine as the source of creation and transformation. 

Beyond a simple retelling of mythology, Mohishashur Mordini serves as a tribute to the philosophy that without Shakti, life ceases to exist. The series aims to inspire modern audiences with its message of feminine power and spirituality, making it a must-watch for mythology lovers and cultural enthusiasts alike.
