Haranath Chakraborty's hooch film
Fighting social evils through films is something that Tollywood has always been good at. Now, in a recent venture, it's director Haranath Chakraborty's turn to take on the recent hooch tragedy by the horns.
His film on the after effects of drinking spurious country liquor will be aired on private Bengali channels soon. Said the director, 'The death toll in the recent hooch tragedy in West Bengal's South 24-Parganas and the condition of the people battling for life in various hospitals made me heart broken.

We were discussing this with chief minister Mamata Banerjee when she asked me to make a short film on this. I am targeting this as a social awareness campaign so that people become aware of the after effect of consuming this poisonous liquor.
The music of the film will be scored by Nachiketa while Didi herself has penned the lyrics. I have cast Ranjit Mallick, Debasree Roy, Tapas Paul, June and Dev in this project where they will be lip synching to the songs sung by Nachiketa. In the background we will have real footage of such horrifying incidents. I have shown the film to Didi and she liked it. I just hope that people become aware and rectify themselves after watching this film,' said the director.
