Shesh Pata

Atanu Ghosh’s film Shesh Pata, starring Prosenjit Chatterjee, Gargee Roychowdhury and Vikram Chatterjee, is a story of values and moral vision, the pangs of conscience and a search for light at the end of the tunnel. It’s about Balmiki, an arrogant non-conformist writer of fiction who was popular in the Bangla film circuit during the Eighties and Nineties, for his unconventional themes. But some drastic turn of events changed the course of his life and he now leads a life of sheer neglect and isolation. He is the vortex around whom three characters come into play.

Mini

Mimi Chakraborty stars in the film Mini, directed by Mainak Bhaumik. It’s a fun, sweet, melancholic film that deals with the value of responsibility. Mimi’s character belongs to today’s generation and yet has a lot of inclination towards family. She’s independent but at the same time her family is a big part of her life. Relationships are a big part of her life. Few twists and turns change her life.

Belashuru

Shiboprosad Mukhopadhyay and Nandita Roy’s Bela Sheshe broke all box-office records in 2015. This year Belashuru hits the screens on May 20 with a stellar ensemble cast. The story revolves around an elderly couple Biswanath Sarkar (Soumitra Chatterjee) and Arati Sarkar (Swatilekha Sengupta). It focuses on different relationships that exist within a family and the bond that parents, children and other members of the family share. Belashuru is a story that nurtures relations between parents, children and family.

Aparajito

Anik Datta’s film Aparajito is inspired by the making of Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali, and actor Jeetu Kamal plays Aparajito Ray! Aparajito was the second film of the Apu trilogy. But this Aparajito is, of course, different. In the film a character called Aparajito Ray, aka Apu, makes a film called Pather Podaboli.

Oti Uttam

Legendary actor Uttam Kumar will be seen in a new film once again, thanks to Srijit Mukherji who has made it possible. Uttam Kumar’s character was built through existing footage from his various films. New lines were written around existing dialogues... the script was written through back calculation. In Oti Uttam, Uttam Kumar appears by way of planchette in black-and-white and advises one of his die-hard fans on his love life and helps him to win over his lady love.
