#BALIKA VADHU MOVIE BENGALI SERIES#
Those starring in the series are: Soumik Chattopadhaya, Torsha, an eight year old newcomer, who will play the lead character of Gauri and Sumanto Mukherjee, who will be seen in the role of a grandfather.
“We have created a bank of 11 episodes, which will be aired in the course of two weeks,” informs Shree Venkatesh Films director Mahendra Soni. The show which is being produced under the umbrella of Shree Venkatesh Films, will initially create 300 episodes for the series. It is also leant that the storyline has been changed in keeping with the Bengali sentiments. While one can argue that Gouri Daan was not a replica of Balika Vadhu, the essence is the same.
The West Bengal government also launched a campaign last year called ‘Kanyashree Prakalpa’ for curbing child marriage in the state. So why remake a popular Hindi show into Bengali? Answers ETV Bangla programming head Ritika Roy, “ As per our research, in 2013, West Bengal emerged as the fourth largest state in the country, which competed in the category of child marriage and 55 per cent of the girls who were married were far younger than the marriageable age.” Also the channel in order to hook its afternoon band audience wanted to take up a strong issue-based story. Starting 15 April at 1:00 pm, the programme aims at creating a niche for itself in the Bengali market which has had several progressive shows. Of the four new soaps, one is Gouri Daan, which is inspired by the popular Colors show Balika Vadhu. The channel which has created an afternoon time band, ‘Duronto Dupur’ is set to launch four new shows to keep its viewers hooked on to the channel and carve out a space in the regional general entertainment genre. KOLKATA: Come 15 April and ETV Bangla will have a host of original content for its audience.
