The special screening of Chandrabindoo took place at Cinepolis (Acropolis Mall), drawing a full house of fans, flashing cameras, and palpable excitement. Lead cast members Ankush Hazra, Oindrila Sen, Shaheb Bhattacherjee, and Anirban Chakrabarti made spirited appearances.

Ankush arrived in a sleek all-black shirt-and-trouser ensemble, greeted by a swirl of cheers and media flashes. Oindrila kept it effortlessly classic in a white shirt and denims, flashing her signature smile. Shaheb looked sharp in a navy blue coat over a crisp white shirt. Shaheb said, “It might seem that the film is too serious but it isn’t! The film has comedy, drama and lighter elements which people will enjoy. It is a film of love in different forms.”

Chandrabindoo is a supernatural fantasy drama directed by Raja Chanda and produced by Eskay Movies. Set in east London, the story follows Arnab Martin (Ankush Hazra), a young aspiring writer living with his parents, Ananta and Parvati, and helping them run their modest bookstore, Boipoka. Following the sudden loss of his parents, Arnab meets Meera (Oindrila Sen), a gentle widow dealing with her own grief. As their connection deepens, they find themselves moving through an unseen, otherworldly rhythm where the spirits of their departed loved ones quietly linger.

In several cemetery sequences, the emotional heart of the film emerges: Arnab and Meera sit at the graves of their loved ones, unaware they are being watched — not by the living, but by the dead. Ananta, Parvati, and Meera’s late husband (played by Shaheb) appear in silence, observing the two with warmth and longing. While the living cannot see the spirits, the spirits can see them — a subtle reversal that deepens the film’s themes of unspoken love and lingering connection.

Blending grief, memory, and the metaphysical, Chandrabindoo reflects on how the departed never fully leave us — and how healing often arrives in the quietest, most unexpected ways.
