The 2021 Bengali web series Mandaar represents a watershed moment for regional digital content in India. Directed by acclaimed actor Anirban Bhattacharya in his directorial debut, the five-episode series is a gritty, hyper-localized adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth .

It is the inaugural project for Hoichoi's "World Classics" initiative, which aims to adapt global literary masterpieces for a modern Bengali audience.
