MUMBAI: In a first, Multi Screen Media’s (MSM) Bengali entertainment channel Sony Aath will air a kids animation slot with the launch of ‘Sunday Funday’.
The first series to be launched in this slot is ‘Gopal Bhar’, a highly popular character and franchise among kids in Bengal.
This show will premiere on 8 March at 10:30 am.
A two-hour weekly slot on Sunday will showcase five putative stories of Gopal Bhar, a legendary court jester from 18th-century Bengal.
He was in the court of Raja Krishnachandra, the famous king of Nadia. Such was the genius of Gopal that the king considered him a ‘Navaratna’ of his court.
His statue can still be seen in the palace of Raja Krishnachandra.
Stories about his exploits are narrated in Bengal to this day and are immortalised in countless short stories.
The stories are short, beautiful, and humorous and have a specific social message.
Gopal Bhar is famous for stories of his wisdom, in which he outwits other fellow courtiers, sometimes even the king. Sony Aath SVP corporate Tushar Shah said, “We are really excited to present ‘Sunday Funday’ to our audience.
Animated comic series based on immortal character like Gopal Bhar has a universal appeal making it a treat to watch not only for kids, but for the entire family.
With the launch of this show, we hope to expand our audience base and create a loyal patronage.”
