India’s much-loved and refreshingly different detective, Eken Babu, is finally stepping into a new phase of his journey. After eight smash-hit web seasons and three successful films, the popular Bengali series is set to be dubbed in Hindi, introducing the beloved character to audiences across the country. Known for its light-hearted approach to suspense and problem-solving, the show marks a welcome break from the intense, gritty crime dramas that often dominate the screen.
At the centre of the storytelling is the unforgettable Eken Babu, played by the talented Anirban Chakrabarti. Far from the polished and sharply dressed sleuths viewers are used to, Eken Babu is extremely relatable, almost ordinary—until he begins connecting clues in his own unusual way. With a deep love for food, a sense of humour that borders on mischievous, and an unpredictable charm, he turns every case into a fun, unpredictable adventure. His brilliance lies in observation, instinct, and the ability to see what others often miss.
What makes the show stand out is its commitment to celebrating the everyday hero. Eken Babu proves that intelligence doesn’t always come wrapped in drama or sophistication. His quirks—whether craving the perfect Bengali snack in the middle of a case or choosing an unconventional route to uncover the truth—bring warmth and relatability to every episode. The shift to Hindi gives a whole new audience the chance to laugh, think, and be surprised alongside him.
Anirban Chakrabarti, who has become synonymous with the character, expressed excitement about Eken Babu’s new journey. He shared, “Playing Eken Babu has been an incredibly fun and rewarding journey, and I am thrilled that this beloved character is now reaching a wider audience. Eken Babu is not your typical detective—he is utterly human, with his love for food and his peculiar ways making him relatable and endearing.”
With Sony SAB bringing the series to television, families across India can now enjoy a detective story that blends mystery with humour, intelligence with innocence, and crime-solving with delicious moments of pure fun.
