Kolkata filmmaker Indranil Banerjee is all geared up for his next which is a gripping thriller. Starring Asish Pathak, Riddhiman khan and Sayantani Mukherjee in key roles, ‘A Sinful Story’ is an experimental silent thriller.
The story starts in a deserted place. In the wee hours of morning, a mysteriously parked car grabs our attention. On a closer look, we see a dead girl’s body inside the car. A panditji walks down the muddy path with a lantern in hand and an umbrella. He peeps at the car and walks away. Meanwhile, in a police station, a glutton of a police officer is seen jotting down a GD. He seems to be seriously writing a detailed report with occasional advice and sympathy towards the man who has come to file the report. An old man is seen crying unperturbed sitting in front of the police inspector. What happens next forms the crux of the story.
‘A Sinful Story’ is India’s first silent mini-series and has been divided into three segments - Dharma, Kartavya and Karma. In the climax, we realize there’s a connection between the three segments and it leaves the audience gaping and their imagination running wild.
Sharing his thoughts on the uniqueness of the thriller Indranil explains, "As a filmmaker, I always do creative, challenging, award-winning and trending films. For example India’s first horror mini-series, Kolkata’s first sitcom. This time I am back with my favorite genre thriller. I can’t thank enough my producer Maitrayee De who gave me this opportunity to showcase my mini-series to a worldwide audience. The concept is by Tuhin Dasgupta, the cinematographer of this series and it has been written and scripted by me. Surely it's going to make a huge impact. There are only 3 artists whom I have picked; Asish Pathak and Riddhiman khan who are regular faces in Bengali daily soaps and lastly Sayantani Mukherjee who is a new face.”
