Meet the brand new Byomkesh!

Koel Mallick and Jisshu U Sengupta-starrer Ghare and Baire is no simple romcom; there’s detective twist to the story. And the detective is played by none other Soumyajit Majumdar.

The name stuck with him and life became an endless struggle,” said Soumyajit, who completed his 24th film with
