The mood was relaxed, the lighting low, and the joy unmistakable as the cast and crew of Grihapravesh gathered on Wednesday evening to celebrate the film’s success. Held at SodaBottleOpenerWala, South City, the party brought together some of Bengali cinema’s most familiar faces — not just to raise a toast, but to bask in the glow of a film that’s found both critical acclaim and audience affection.
Subhashree Ganguly, who anchors Indraadip Dasgupta’s film with quiet intensity, arrived hand-in-hand with her husband, filmmaker Raj Chakraborty. She kept things effortlessly chic — a crisp white top, well-fitted denims, and statement gold jewellery that caught the light just so. “I just feel grateful and blessed for the response Titli has gotten,” she said. As she stepped in, a group of older admirers — unmistakably fans — approached her with warm smiles and eager words. “Very good film,” one said, nodding emphatically. Another chimed in, “Amra erokom chobi chai. We want more such films.” Jeetu Kamal, looking dapper in a rust shirt, was all smiles as he caught up with colleagues, while Abir Chatterjee — who makes a brief but memorable cameo in the film — added to the celebratory vibe with his signature charm.

Anjan Dutt, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, Kaushik Ganguly, and Saswata Chatterjee were among the other guests spotted in animated conversation. Later in the night, Jisshu Sengupta made a stylish late entry, drawing cheers from old friends.
Indraadip said, “This isn’t just a success party — it’s a gathering of those whose support mattered the most, right from the moment Grihapravesh was just a thought in my head. This film has been a long time in the making. It came to life slowly, through years of emotional evolution, sleepless nights, and quiet conviction. So many people in this room have walked this journey with me — as sounding boards, creative partners, or simply as silent strength in the background. To see Grihapravesh finally connect with audiences, to receive the kind of affection and reflection it has, is humbling. But more than that, it reminds me why we do this. Tonight isn’t about numbers or celebration. It’s about gratitude. Gratitude to Subhashree, Jeetu, Abir, and everyone else who trusted the process, and to the friends and well-wishers who stood by us even before a single frame was shot. That’s what makes this evening truly special.”
With free-flowing drinks, Parsi-style bites, and the clink of glasses over lively banter, the party felt less like a formal celebration and more like a cosy reunion. Between laughter, nostalgia and murmurs of “what’s next,” Grihapravesh’s success was felt — not in speeches or announcements, but in shared stories and quiet grins.
