Sudiptaa Chakrabarty is trying to help COVID and cyclone hit families in her own way.

Sudipta Roy and Bipul Patra starrer ‘Pherari Mon’ is set to premiere next week. It will feature Sudipta playing the role of a courageous girl who handles all the hurdles with a smile on her face and doesn’t shy away from protesting whenever the situation demands. The actress is quite excited about the show.

Away from the hustle-bustle, the actress spent some quality time at home with her family amid lockdown.

Social media has emerged as an important tool in life and from time to time, people have witnessed its two different sides. Talking about it, one can't forget about the case of Ranu Mondal from Ranaghat, West Bengal who went viral for belting the iconic Lata Mangeshkar song ‘Ek Pyar Nagma Hai’ at a railway station. Soon after this, she was backed by singer Himesh Reshammiya who gave her a chance to croon ‘Teri Meri Kahani’ for his film ‘Happy Hardy And Heer’ in 2020. While her fame was short-lived and the rest is history, now the story of her life is soon going to hit the big screen. Helmed by director Hrishikesh Mondal, the biopic is titled as ‘Miss Ranu Maria’ starring actress Eshika Dey.

“There are characters that you act out and there are characters that you enjoy to the core,” that’s the first thing actor Rahul Dev Bose said about the role he is playing in ‘Mission Dugga Dugga’, a movie which will premiere on a prime channel. It features Anusha Viswanathan, senior artist Kheyali Dastidar, Priyanka Bhattacharjee and many other popular artists in prominent roles. It’s a love story woven with the backdrop of Durga Pujo.

Bengali cinema's reliance on authentic dialects is waning, with many films now reducing regional speech to mere markers for domestic workers. Directors and actors once treated dialect as a core element of authenticity, but contemporary cinema often flattens language for urban comfort. This trend erases memory and regional identity, leading to a loss of originality and cultural depth.

Director Rituparno Ghosh tells TOI that apart from the three important National Awards for 'Abohomaan', the Award for Best Regional Feature Film in Bengali seems redundant.
