Dhanni Meye to Dadar Kirti: Old hits to drive viewers’ quarantine blues away

The lockdown phase has challenged us in many ways. While it has left us with a daily challenge of how to spend the free time in an interesting way, it has equally challenged the television channels to come up with a new bouquet of entertainment packages to keep the audience glued to the television screens.
The Bengali TV channels are leaving no stone unturned to spice up the otherwise similar daily routine of the audience.It is more challenging for them to maintain their TRPs as well entertain the audience of different age group right from kids to the adults. From rerunning old TV shows to airing hit movies, TV channels are trying to woo the audience with their offerings.
Keeping these points in mind, a popular Bengali television channel will air old hit movies to entertain Bengali audience. The matinee show will include hit movies like Uttam Kumar, Sabitri Chatterjee, Jaya Bachchan and Partha Mukherjee starrer ‘Dhanni Meye’, Tarun Majumder directed ‘Dadar Kirti’ starring Tapas Pal, Prosenjit Chatterjee and Vijeta Pandit starrer ‘Amar Sangi’, ‘Tin Murti’, ‘Amar Tumi’ and ‘Maryada’.
talking about the same, Eshita Surana, Director of the TV channel said, "To drive away your lockdown blues, we have decided to show some of the nostalgia-laden popular movies every afternoon. Last week, we aired best family-oriented movies for a week. This week, we are giving our viewers a golden chance to catch up with some block buster movies whose songs, even after so many years, enjoy mass popularity. Be home, be safe and take care of your family.” Last week too, the channel aired some hit Bengali movies to keep the viewers glued to the television screen.
