Sony AATH has unveiled Raandhuni Na Kaanduni, an original unscripted comedy cooking show hosted by Ankush Hazra. The show will premiere on October 3, 2026, at 9:30 pm on Sony AATH and Sony LIV.
The broadcaster revealed the show and its ensemble cast through an immersive ‘Kitchen Takeover’ in Kolkata. Combining cooking challenges with humour and celebrity interactions, the format features Kanchan Mullick, Sreemoyee Chattoraj, Iman Chakraborty, Rupanjana Mitra, Darshana Banik and other Bengali personalities, alongside chefs Doma Wong and Priyam.
The playful and quirky reveal offered guests a taste of exactly what the show promises to bring viewers – when the ‘raandhunis’ meet the ‘kaandunis’, the recipe may not always go according to plans, but the entertainment certainly does. The experience had the audience in splits of laughter, with the show’s irreverent take on celebrity cooking.
Ankush Hazra, Host of Raandhuni Na Kaanduni, said, “The moment I heard the concept, I knew ‘Raandhuni Na Kaanduni’ was something very different. It brings together people who audiences already know and love, but puts them in a completely unfamiliar setting where anything can happen. And with such a diverse ensemble cast, there can never be a dull moment. Everyone brings their own personality, humour and energy to the kitchen, which makes my job as a host even more exciting. I think the real fun for audiences will be watching these familiar faces come together and seeing where the chaos takes them.”
Chef Doma Wong said, “Raandhuni Na Kaanduni’ is as much about the joy of cooking as it is about the people and laughter around the food. Its wonderful to see the cast get into the kitchen, experiment and have fun. There are some delicious dishes, a few unexpected ones, and plenty of chaotic moments that will make audiences smile.”
Ambesh Tiwari, Business Head, Sony YAY! And Sony AATH, said, “Raandhuni Na Kaanduni marks an important step in Sony AATH’s journey as we expand our content proposition with original unscripted entertainment, fiction and much more. Food and humour are both deeply rooted in Bengali culture and bringing them together with some of Bengal’s most familiar personalities gives us an opportunity to create a differentiated, locally relevant IP. The format complements our existing entertainment offerings while giving audiences a new way to engage with Sony AATH.”
Staying true to its promise, ‘হাসির আঁচে জমবে রান্না’ – where laughter adds the perfect flavour to cooking, ‘Raandhuni Na Kaanduni’ brings audiences a kitchen where recipes are unpredictable, chemistry is real and every cooking challenge has the potential to turn into a full-blown kaand.
‘Raandhuni Na Kaanduni’ premieres October 3, 2026, at 9:30 PM, on Sony AATH and Sony LIV.
