Overview
Vanumotir Khel (also referenced in some sources as Bhanumotir Khel) is a Bengali-language television soap opera that began broadcasting in early 2018. The series premiered on 8 January 2018 and was carried by the regional channel Zee Bangla. It is a serialized drama produced for a mainstream Bengali-speaking audience and distributed through a conventional television schedule and associated promotional channels such as the network's website and social pages.
Production and broadcast
The production was handled by Subatra Roy. The show debuted in a weekday timeslot and, during its run, experienced at least two schedule adjustments. Initially it succeeded the program Baksho Bodol in its slot, and on 18 June 2018 the series took over a different timeslot previously occupied by Rangiye Diye Jao.
