Kolkata: Khela Hobe (Game is on) was Mamata Banerjee’s clarion call to defeat Modi-led BJP in West Bengal assembly election. Now, this slogan is setting the tone for the election in the other states too. Now, a web series titled Khela Hobey will soon start streaming on Uribaba. But there’s nothing political about it. Going back to its original meaning, Uribaba’s Khela Hobey is a comeback story of one of a fast bowler of Bengal. After hitting the rock bottom, we witness the drama and the reason of his decline and then his rise to the top at an age when most players give up on the sport.
In 2022, Uribaba, the new entertainment avenue for Bengali content, has come up with a dozen web series. So, in the next few months, get ready to be amazed and entertained. Now, a quick look at the content dairy in detail.
