Madhumita Sarcar says ‘Kuler Achaar’ seeks answers to certain social conventions

Just like her fans, Madhumita Sarcar is also eagerly waiting for the release of her next film ‘Kuler Achaar’. This is the first time we would get to see the actress pairing up with Vikram Chatterjee and Madhumita says she is now more focused on roles that will help her evolve into a better person. The Sudeep Das directorial is set to release in theatres on July 15.
‘Kuler Achaar’ is an out-and-out family drama that is not only women-centric in its narrative but also puts effort into upholding the true nature of bond and affection a family should ideally share.
The plot is a tumultuous ride that tells a story revolving around the willingness of a lady to keep her maiden surname and the comedic yet poignant complexities that revolve around the idea. Madhumita returns to the big screen to tell the story of Mithi, a young woman who is determined to not change her surname after marriage. Vikram Chatterjee will be seen playing the role of Pritam who is Mithi’s supportive and liberal husband.
According to Madhumita, her character in the film believes that her surname is the legacy of her family. She respects her in-laws but at the same time can go to any extent to stick to her ideals.
Is the actress supports the idea of keeping the maiden name after marriage? During a recent media interaction, Madhumita said that she was married once and she changed her maiden surname before she got divorced. But with time she has become mature enough to understand that changing surname can’t be a necessary thing. And, after doing ‘Kuler Achaar’, she has realized that people need to adhere to certain convictions in life. She also clarifies that this film not only deals with the subject of surname change but it also raises questions about many other social conventions.

Meanwhile, Indrani Haldar is also making a comeback to the big screen with this family drama after a hiatus of almost five years. She plays Madhumita’s mother-in-law and according to the narrative, her character holds an extremely strong position in Mithi’s life. Neel Mukherjee will be seen as Mithi’s father-in-law.
