The highlight of the new season is “Shobar Bondhu Toton”, Duronto TV's second original animated series.
The series follows the adventures of Toton, a mischievous, lovable and endlessly curious boy who is a little lazy, a little naive, and always finding himself in amusing situations. Alongside his parents, sister, grandparents and a lively group of school friends, Toton's wild imagination, countless questions and quirky ideas lead to one hilarious mishap after another.
The show is set to premiere on July 31 and air every Friday and Saturday at 9 am, 1 pm, 4 pm and 8 pm.
