Windows Productions’Â Bohurupi (Bengali) has set the record for the biggest opening of 2024 so far, and may well be on its way to becoming Bengali cinema’s biggest blockbuster this year!
Directed by Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy, the film has captivated the audience with its heartfelt story-telling, stunning performances and cultural depth.
The film’s fresh take on family, love and tradition has resonated deeply with viewers across all demographics, making it a box-office sensation. Released during the bountiful Pujo season, the film takes the viewers into the world of Bikram and Jhimli, played by Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Koushani Mukherjee respectively.
In a joint statement, directors Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee expressed their gratitude: “We are overwhelmed by the love and response that Bohurupi has received. It’s always been our aim to create stories that touch hearts and celebrate our culture, and seeing Bohurupi resonate with the audience across Bengal and beyond is incredibly fulfilling. The success of this film is a testament to the hard work and passion of the entire team. We truly believe, this is a defining moment for Bengali cinema, and we are grateful to everyone who has supported us in this journey.”
Shiboprosad Mukherjee’s return to the screen post-recovery and Koushani Mukherjee’s standout performance have drawn widespread acclaim. The song, Shimul Polash, with its folk melodies, vibrant visuals, and A.R. Rahman’s public endorsement have brought the film extra attention.
With packed cinemas and overwhelming praise from both, the public and the critics, Bohurupi is not only breaking box-office records but also marking a shift in Bengali cinema. Industry insiders are already hailing the film as a turning point, setting new standards for story-telling and production quality in the regional film industry.
