Chorki completes 4 years with over 1b watch hours, 30m users under its belt

Leading Bangladeshi OTT platform Chorki stepped into its fourth anniversary on Saturday, marking four years of consistent original content production and impactful contributions to the country's digital content industry.

Since its launch on 12 July, 2021, Chorki has become a popular name among Bengali-speaking audiences at home and abroad. With a focus on original series, films, documentaries, and co-produced cinema, Chorki has emerged as a trusted platform for quality Bangla entertainment.

In a press release issued to mark the occasion, Chorki announced some impressive milestones: over one billion hours of content have been watched on the platform, and it now boasts more than 30 million registered users. In its four-year journey, the platform has released over 100 original productions, averaging more than two releases per month.

Expressing gratitude to viewers, Chorki CEO Redoan Rony said, "Chorki has come this far because of the trust and love of our viewers. We are proud to see that when people think of watching Bangla content on OTT, they often turn to Chorki first."

Highlighting Chorki's diverse offerings, Rony noted that the platform has consistently released original series, movies, travel, cooking and comedy shows, along with curated foreign content. He added that Chorki has become the leading OTT producer of Bangladeshi films - with titles like Surongo, Toofan, Daagi, and Taandob becoming major hits.

In addition to commercial blockbusters, Chorki has supported story-driven films appealing to family and middle-class audiences, including '36-24-36' and 'Priyo Maloti'. Rony mentioned this year's Eid-ul-Azha release Utshob as an example of content made with viewers and cinema's broader interest in mind, despite commercial risks.
