Pratim D Gupta
is on cloud nine and why not? His latest offering ‘
Shantilal O Projapoti Rohoshyo
’ which has been lapped up by the audience is now the opening film of
Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival
.
Pratim took to his Twitter handle to share the news: “Huge honour for Shantilal O Projapoti Rohoshyo to be selected as the Opening Film of Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival in Guwahati. Congratulations to the entire team. @paoli_d @ArkoPravo19 @subhankarbhar @SubhajitEditor @RoyAnindit @adeepmanki.”
Meanwhile the official handle of Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival tweeted: “One of the best thriller mystery films in #Bengali, in recent times, @PratimDGupta's ‘Shantilal’ is a detective story on the surface, which consistently breaks the tropes associated with the genre. This film will definitely manage to grow onto you.”
Starring
Ritwick Chakraborty and
Paoli Dam in the lead, the thriller revolves around Shantilal. Life hasn't been very kind to Shantilal, who is in his late thirties, unmarried and stuck in a thankless job as a weather reporter. On the other hand, Nandita is a popular movie star who has it all, and plans to venture into politics next.
When the worlds of these two people collide on a fateful day, it sets off a chain of incidents that take Shantilal on an adventurous roller-coaster ride from Kolkata to Chennai and Singapore. And at the end of it all, the unassuming reporter may just rediscover himself - as a sharp detective!
