    Zee Bangla launches new detective fiction show – ‘Goyenda Ginni’

    MUMBAI: Zee Bangla is all set to launch a new fiction show called Goyenda Ginni, which celebrates the unveiling of brilliance and practical intelligence that a woman embodies.

     

    Goyenda Ginni revolves around Paroma, a regular housewife who unleashes her innate qualities to become a lady detective.

     

    Over the years, iconic characters of Sherlock Holmes, Byomkesh Bakshi and Feluda have fascinated readers and viewers alike. However, the idea of the female detective as being unusual still persists in literary and cinematic treatments. Goyenda Ginni is a unique concept of Paroma who leads a dual life of a housewife and a detective.

     

    The show will have weekly short stories of cases which Paroma will solve. The story is high on woman power, which will inspire women from all walks of life to explore their inner talent and turn it into their strengths.

     

    Goyenda Ginni marks the return of Indrani Halder (Paroma) after seven long years as protagonist on the small screen. Haldar has previously worked as the lead in the Hindi TV series Sujata. The other cast includes Saheb Chatterjee (Dr. Porimal Mitra, Paroma’s husband) and Indrajit Bose (Arup, the cop).

     

    Goyenda Ginni is slated to go on air on 7 September. The show will be aired from Monday to Saturday at 7:30 pm.

  • Bengali magazine ‘Prothoma Ekhon’ closes down

    Bengali magazine ‘Prothoma Ekhon’ closes down

    KOLKATA: Future Institute of Engineering and Management (FIEM) that had taken over Saradha owned defunct Bengali magazine ‘Paroma’ last year and started afresh as ‘Prothoma Ekhon’ has decided to shut shop, citing huge losses as the reason. The move has left around 35 employees including journalists and technical staff jobless.

     

    “We have closed down the fortnight magazine as we could not sell it,” informs a FIEM official on condition of anonymity to indiantelevisioin.com.

     

    ‘Paroma’ was launched by Kolkata-headquartered Saradha Group of companies with critically acclaimed filmmaker, screenwriter and actress Aparna Sen running the show.

     

    But many media ventures of the Kolkata headquartered company like Sakalbela, The Bengal Post, Azad Hind, Prabhat Varta and the Seven Sisters Post, including ‘Paroma’ closed down after the company’s chit fund went bust last year in April.

     

    It was then that FIEM took charge and re-launched the magazine in July 2013. The fortnightly was a mix of other best-selling Bengali magazines like ‘Desh’ and ‘Sananda’ that catered to women and the intellectuals.

     

    “The first issue was a total sold out,” recalls an employee. “The response from the market was so good, that the management at one point was considering increasing the number of pages,” the source adds. 

     

    “The RNI was in the name of Saradha only, as we did not get it transferred on our name. We tried to revive it but it was not selling instead of our repeated attempts,” the FIEM official informs.
