Streams for Eid: An exciting OTT lineup

Eid means finding the rare opportunity to gather around the television with your friends and family for a show or movie that will have you laughing, crying, or even biting your nails. For a brief moment, we will forget our worries and cherish the time with our loved ones.

With this moment of joy in mind, streaming platforms have stepped up with exciting content, all lined up to release during the Eid holiday.

This Eid, streaming platforms have taken another bold step with content, combining star power with stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Beloved stars such as Marzuk Russell, Tanjin Tisha, and Intekhab Dinar, will be taking over screens this time. Mosharraf Karim has also returned with a unique story in this year's OTT lineup. 

Bachelor Point Season 5

After more than two years, Bachelor Point is finally making its return with season 5 just in time for Eid. The popular comedy series, known for its mix of laughter, drama, and everyday chaos, brings back familiar faces like Ziaul Hoque Polash, Marzuk Russell, Chashi Alam, and Monira Mithu.

Director Kajal Arefin Ome says this season may feel a little different, thanks to the experience he's gained over the past couple of years. But fans can rest assured the heart (and humour) of Bachelor Point is still very much alive.

The first eight episodes will premiere on Eid day while the rest will be released every Thursday at 7 PM on the streaming platform.

Bohemian Ghora

Hoichoi is releasing the much-discussed content 'Bohemian Ghora' for Eid, directed by Amitabh Reza Chowdhury. The cast includes Mosharraf Karim, Runa Khan, Moushumi Hamid, Sadia Ayman, Tanzika Amin, Robena Reza Jui, Farhana Hamid, Aditi, and Brishti. The series is set to hit screens on 5 June.

The trailer teases a mysterious story of a truck driver named Abbas. Abbas is married to seven women across different districts, under unique circumstances for each case. For each wife, Abbas becomes a different person—and none of them know about the others. Only his truck helper, Selim, knows the full story.

Trouble begins after his eighth marriage when a storm of misfortune descends on Abbas's life. 

"All the actors in this show are dear to me. Abbas is a character with a magnetic personality. He easily wins over women, but inside he struggles with deep conflict over his lifestyle and decisions," shared the director.

"I needed an actor who could switch personas effortlessly—and there are only a few such method actors in this city. Mosharraf Karim is one of them."

Hide and Seek

Deepto Play will release the web film 'Hide and Seek' this Eid, directed by Mahmudur Rahman Hime. The cast includes Tanjin Tisha, Dighi, Chamak, Ziaul Roshan, Intekhab Dinar, Deepa Khandakar, and others.

The story begins on the night film star Imtiaz Khan announces his wedding when a young woman named Rasha has an accident. Some claim Rasha tried to commit suicide because she had a secret relationship with Imtiaz. When entertainment journalist Nadia starts probing the matter, she receives death threats.

Nadia soon realises that something bigger is unfolding behind the scenes. Each character around her is playing a game of hide and seek. 

Director Himi said about the web film, "It's based on a contemporary social issue. I hope it grabs the audience's attention during the Eid festivities."
