It is not just the content-rich films based on human relationships that the talented filmmaker duo – Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee are known for. The versatile filmmakers are also renowned for the varied musical palette of all their films. Their upcoming film, the much-anticipated Gotro, under the banner of Windows Production, is no different and the recently released official trailer is a perfect example of that.
The movie has piqued the curiosity of the audience ever since it was announced. ‘Gotro’ is based on a social issue and tries to remind us the importance of humanity over religion by means of a heart-warming story.
A voice over by Shiboprosad Mukherjee introduces the characters and their situation to us as the trailer starts. It gives us a brief idea about the story centered on Mukti Debi played by Anashua Majumdar who is a devotee of Lord Radha Krishna while her house is named Gobinda Dhaam. Her only son leaves abroad. However, she has her house filled with interesting people who are close to her.
Check out the trailer her:
Jhuma (Manali Manisha Dey) is one such member whom Mukti Debi considers as her own daughter. Then there is his son’s friend, a priest in charge of the temple in her house. There is one more member who is close to Mukti Debi’s heart. He is Tariq Ali played by Nigel Akkara whom she sees almost like her own son for his loving and caring nature.
The unique bonding between Mukti Debi and Tariq Ali is the main focus of the film. Despite hailing from different religious background, they share an emotional bonding.

It takes specialized skill to make a movie trailer in such a way which connects with the audience and makes them anxious enough to watch the film to know more. Keeping the mystery intact is always the goal. A trailer, above anything else, turns out to be the single biggest determinant of how well a movie will be received in the opening weekend. This is especially true for films that don’t depend on star power. Currently, a hand full of upcoming Bengali films has become talk of the town after their trailers were released. These movie trailers have intrigued us making us eager for the films. Trailers and teasers of ‘Borno Porichoy’, ‘Parineeta’, ‘Shantilal O Projapoti Rohoshyo’, ‘Panther’ not only got thumbs up from the audience, but the film fraternity is also going gaga over them. Check out these already hit trailers which got us excited.

‘Bornoporichoy’ promises a spine-chilling thriller plotting Abir Chatterjee and Jisshu Sengupta opposite each other for the first time while Priyanka Sarkar plays the female lead. Indraadip Dasgupta’s haunting background score makes the trailer more interesting. The trailer introduces Abir as a serial killer with a typical gentleman image against Jisshu Sengupta, a cop who has lost everything in his life. Given the trailer’s snippets, it seems Abir’s series of crimes forces the administration to employ Jisshu back who was serving a suspension for reasons yet unknown. The crimes puzzle him as the killer with a weird personality leaves behind a symbol, more precisely an alphabet, every time he strikes.

Aparna Sen’s ‘Ghawre Bairey Aaj’ teaser surely triggers nostalgia when Brinda (Tuhina Das) introduces herself. In a flashback, we see a snippet of her childhood as Brinda says her name was Bimla a long time ago. Aparna Sen also changed Nikhilesh’s name to Animesh (Anirban Bhattacharya) who is the editor of a digital news platform and Brinda's workaholic husband. The teaser raises curiosity as the Bengali Sandip from Tagore’s Ghare Baire has been changed into Sandip Jha (Jisshu Sengupta). Sandip’s bilingual dialogue points out to love triangle which forms the core of the narrative. Going by the teaser it seems Sandip is a childhood friend of Animesh and has become a Maoist. The friends meet after a long time and it eventually changes the course of the relationship between the three.

Emotional love stories are Raj Chakraborty’s forte and yet again he is back to narrate a tragic love story with ‘Parineeta’. The trailer starts with Mehul (Subhashree) who is madly in love with her tuition teacher Babai Da (Ritwick Chakraborty). Mehul’s whole world centers on Babai Da but one day all her dreams get shattered as Babai commits suicide for some unknown reason. What happen next? How will Mehul survive this tragedy? Will her life change forever? The trailer teases you with so many questions. Towards the end of the trailer you would see a few glimpses of Adrit Roy and Gaurav Chakrabarty and to everyone’s surprise, Subhashree appears in a completely different look. It’s clear the story has so much to tell.

After teasing the Bengali cine buffs with a series of posters and introducing Ritwick Chakraborty as the new detective on the block, the much-awaited trailer of Pratim D Gupta’s ‘Shantilal O Projapoti Rohoshyo’ was released recently. The trailer with snippets of what to expect from the thriller, raises the curiosity bar about how an average weather reporter transforms into a detective as he embarks on a journey to unravel the mystery behind a popular film star Nandita. Ritwick Chakraborty will play the titular role of staff reporter Shantilal Bhattacharya who will decode the mystery. This is the fourth time Ritwick is working with Pratim. Beside Ritwick, Paoli Dam will play the female lead, a popular actress Nandita.

Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy’s next ‘Gotro’ teaser gives us a brief idea about the story which starts with Mukti Debi played by Anashua Majumdar who is a devotee of Lord Radha Krishna while her house is named Gobinda Dhaam. Her only son leaves abroad. However, she has her house filled with interesting people who are close to her. Jhuma (Manali Manisha Dey) is one such member whom Mukti Debi considers as her own daughter. Then there is his son’s friend, a priest in charge of the temple in her house. There is one more member who is close to Mukti Debi’s heart. He is Tariq Ali played by Nigel Akkara whom she sees almost like her own son for his loving and caring nature. The unique bonding between Mukti Debi and Tariq Ali is the main focus in the teaser. Despite hailing from different religious background, they share an emotional bonding. We see so much violence around us due to the religious differences.

After ‘Bachha Shoshur’ and ‘Shesh Theke Shuru’, Jeet has returned to his action mode in his next ‘Panther’ directed by Anshuman Pratyush. It’s a complete action packed entertainer where Jeet plays an undercover agent in pursuit of a group of terrorists. You can expect loads of patriotism as it’s a fight against terrorism. The tagline of ‘Panther’ “Hindustan Meri Jaan” also evokes patriotism. Recently the action-packed teaser was dropped online to double the excitement. The video with only its one minute duration leaves a huge impression about ‘Panther’. It starts with some explosion shots followed by a few shots involving some terrorist activities where you can see Saurav Chakraborty as a terrorist leader. And finally we get to see the leading man Jeet as an undercover agent named Panther. His action sequences will surely make every Jeet fan excited with a highly energetic patriotic song in the background.
