First look of Mainak Bhaumik's new OTT series 'Bidaay' starring Anusha Viswanathan and Sawon Chakraborty revealed

Acclaimed filmmaker Mainak Bhaumik is set to explore the haunting intersections of love, memory, and the supernatural with his upcoming OTT series Bidaay, premiering soon on the Sobsomoy platform. Starring Anusha Viswanathan, Sawon Chakraborty, and Enakshi Ganguly, the series promises to deliver a gripping psychological horror experience rooted in human emotion and eerie suspense.

About the Series

Bidaay follows the story of a Kolkata-based wedding photographer who reconnects with her former partner and agrees to spend a night at his ancestral home. What begins as a nostalgic reunion gradually spirals into something far more unsettling, as she realizes she may have stepped into a reality that defies logic--and escape.

Blending elements of psychological horror and supernatural thriller, Bidaay resists easy categorization. It delves into layered themes including love, trauma, and gender-based oppression, all while maintaining a tense, atmospheric narrative.

Sawon Chakraborty, reflecting on the series, shared:

"The most remarkable thing about 'Bidaay' is that you simply can't fit it into one box. Some might call it a love story, others may see it as a commentary on gender-based oppression, and some will insist it's a ghost story. My character is very much flesh and blood, but its crisis isn't entirely what you'd expect. Working with Mainakda and acting alongside Anusha again has been an absolute delight. I hope Sobsomoy opens doors for many more such creative works."

Anusha Viswanathan added:

"Prepping for and shooting 'Bidaay' was a magical experience--not just because of the genre, but because of the incredible teamwork. Sawon is a wonderful co-actor, and the entire team brought something special to the project. Under Mainak Bhaumik's direction, this journey has left us with unforgettable memories. I can't wait for audiences to experience it."

A New Chapter for Sobsomoy

With Bidaay, Sobsomoy continues to expand its slate of original content, focusing on bold storytelling and fresh creative voices. The series marks another step forward in redefining regional OTT entertainment with stories that resonate across genres and audiences.

The official release date of Bidaay on Sobsomoy will be announced soon.
