Ritabhari Chakraborty’s next ‘Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti’ which marks the directorial debut of
Aritra Mukherjee sees the talented actress opposite
Soham Majumder
. The social drama has grabbed headlines ever since it was announced and now it’s an uncut ‘U’ certificate from the censor board for the social drama.
‘Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti’ will hit the big screens on March 6 celebrating International Women’s Day. Incidentally, Windows had released another women centric film ‘
Mukherjee Dar Bou
’ on Women’s Day earlier this year and the Pritha Chakraborty directed film became one of the biggest hits of 2019. It will be interesting to see, how ‘Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti’ scores at the box office.
The film talks about breaking taboos. Even the first poster from film showed the protagonist (Ritabhari) holding all things related to idol worship in one hand and in the other hand, she is holding a sanitary pad, a painkiller, a hot water bag and other things that a girl needs during her periods. It’s a fun movie and not at all preachy.
The film questions why a woman can’t get into the kitchen or thakur ghor when she is having her periods. There are so many age-old myths we are following in this patriarchal society and the film opens the discussion among the audience centering on those beliefs.
The story revolves around Shabari (Ritabhari), who is a lecturer and performing artiste. She is into another profession too. She is a woman priest! When a chance encounter with Vikramaditya (Soham) at a college function leads to a marriage proposal, she clearly tells the would-be groom about her multiple identities. Her words are misinterpreted and Shabari is forced to keep one important part of her life under wraps due to the stark differences between the worlds she belong to, pre and post marriage.
‘Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti’ is a dramatic comedy that makes one ponder about the outdated rites and rituals and questions the gender imbalance in society.
