Overview
- The Shieladitya Moulik–directed drama released theatrically on March 6, with Sudipto Sen producing alongside Dhaval Jayantilal Gada and Sipping Tea Cinemas.
- Set around the Charak festival, the film examines how fervent rituals can slide into fanaticism, reflecting themes highlighted in the trailer.
- Sen said the project initially failed to secure a CBFC nod after some members feared it was against Indian parampara, before the certification issue was resolved.
- The filmmaker has framed depictions of darker Tantric practices—including references to skulls and alleged historical child sacrifice—as narrative elements intended to question superstition.
- Anjali Patil, Sahidur Rahaman, Subrat Dutta, Shashi Bhushan, Nalneesh Neel, Shankhadeep and Shounak Shyamal lead the cast, with expectations shaped by Sen’s polarizing 2023 film The Kerala Story, which won National Film Awards recognition.
