In
Mainak Bhaumik’s latest ‘Happy Pill’, Sohini Sarkar plays a journalist named Indrani who suffers from a serious self-doubt and is alarmingly afraid of her boss. She has also been betrayed by her boyfriend. However, Indrani finally finds peace in backing 'Happywala' (
Ritwick Chakraborty) as he is being hunted by the police and the opportunists after inventing a pill that can eradicate sadness.
Portraying such a complex character on-screen is no doubt a difficult task but Sohini has excelled in her role in the social satire. When asked about the things that give her happiness in real life, the Bengali beauty said, “I feel so relaxed and refreshed when I sleep well. And of course, travelling is my passion. I had a solo trip last year in Arunachal Pradesh. I met so many people there. I even went to Sandakphu. I was in Cambodia and Mussoorie only this year for shoots. Now, I want a trip to Ladakh, but if I plan it out, I know the trip won’t happen. I just have to chalk it out one day.”
Apart from Sohini, ‘Happy Pill’ also stars Ritwick Chakraborty, Parno Mittra and Mir in lead roles. The film has received an overwhelming response at the box-office so far.
