Pritha Chakraborty's next to reunite Paoli and Ritwick Chakraborty

Pritha Chakraborty who directed the acclaimed film Mukherjee Da’r Bou, just announced her next film, titled Paharganj Halt, with Paoli and Ritwick Chakraborty in lead roles. The actors were last seen together in the 2019 film 'Shantilal O Projapoti Rahashya'.
Paoli shares, ‘I am glad to be part of a project like Paharganj Halt because it’s a very different kind of storytelling. In this film, we will talk about self-love which is an important concept because we hardly think of ourselves as worth loving. I hope this film will teach us better.’

‘Usually, when we are offered scripts, it follows a romantic story between a man and a woman. That’s what is expected out of castings like this but what attracted me to this script was how differently this film handles a male-female relationship. It has very relatable, run-of-the-mill characters but a uniquely told story’ said Ritwick.
Though tight-lipped about the story, the writer-director of the film, Pritha, says, ‘As a filmmaker, I have always tried to explore the many layers of human relations and experiences. The way Mukherjee Dar Bou talked about the less explored side of a mother and daughter-in-law’s relationship, Paharganj Halt will also showcase the extraordinary layers of the human experience of very ordinary characters.’
