After a brief lull, film-makers are returning back to Darjeeling to shoot their films with a slew of movies lined up for this year. This is expected to boost the image of popular Bengal hill station battered by turmoils.

Kumartuli again came alive on Monday, this time, for the shooting of the first Hindi film in the city after the restrictions on filming were lifted in Bengal.

Darjeeling has seen the shooting of at least eight short film/serials/films this year. The situation, however, has drastically changed once violence erupted in the Hills.
