Felu Mitter Lane (2023) marks a significant development in the evolving landscape of Bengali digital storytelling. Positioned at the intersection of regional folklore, urban satire, and the burgeoning “OTT‑culture” of India, the series negotiates themes of identity, socio‑economic disparity, and the negotiation of tradition in a rapidly modernising metropolis. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the series’ narrative structure, visual style, character construction, and its reception within both domestic and diaspora audiences. By situating Felu Mitter Lane within the broader trajectory of Bengali web‑series production, the study highlights how the series both reinforces and subverts established genre conventions, while also contributing to the emergent discourse on regional representation on global streaming platforms.
