Eken Babu Extends Its Charm to Hindi Audiences on Sony SAB

After ruling hearts across eight web seasons and three films, the beloved Bengali detective Eken Babu is poised to charm a broader audience with a Hindi television debut on Sony SAB. The long-running hoichoi series will be dubbed in Hindi, bringing Eken’s signature blend of humor, wit, and clever sleuthing to prime-time TV. The show is slated to premiere on Sony SAB from November 24, airing Monday to Saturday at 10 PM.

Anchored by Anirban Chakrabarti’s acclaimed portrayal, Eken Babu stands out in the detective genre with a simple, quirky, and endearingly unconventional approach. Rather than the classic suave pose, Eken Babu relies on keen observation, instinct, and a dash of everyday humor. This unique formula, which marries mystery with lighthearted comedy, has made the character a fan favorite in Bengal and among cinephiles who cherish offbeat storytelling.

The Hindi adaptation promises to preserve the essence of the original while making it accessible to a pan-India audience. The show centers on the unassuming detective who uses ordinary moments and sharp reasoning to crack cases, all flavorfully seasoned with Eken Babu’s love for food and his endearing mischief. Viewers can expect episodes that balance intrigue with laughter, delivering a refreshing take on detective storytelling for family-friendly entertainment.

Ajay Bhalwankar, Business Head, Sony SAB, commented on the initiative: “Sony SAB aims to entertain, engage, and refresh with relatable content. Eken Babu brings a distinctive personality—quirky, witty, and immensely likable. Translating his adventures into Hindi allows more viewers to connect with his character and the clever, unconventional problem-solving that defines him. This adaptation aligns with our brand philosophy of accessible, audience-friendly storytelling that remains distinct and memorable. We’re confident Eken Babu will resonate with families across India, especially for its humor, food-loving charm, and unassuming intelligence.”
