Bengali cinema’s beloved couple, Yash Dasgupta and Nusrat Jahan, are set to captivate audiences again in Director Jiit Chakraborty’s upcoming film, ‘Aarii.’ This thought-provoking drama explores the complex and emotional bond between a mother and son, with Maushumi Chatterjee playing the pivotal role of the mother.
‘Aarii’ marks the second production venture of Yash and Nusrat’s production company, which is known for its commitment to quality storytelling and its unique approach to film production. The company collaborates with Shadow Films and GSI Films to bring this thought-provoking drama to life. The film’s poster features a beautifully hand-painted image of a mother holding her baby boy’s hand in a conch shell, symbolizing the profound connection between the two.
Director Jiit Chakraborty, known for his unique and nuanced storytelling, has previously helmed relationship-centric films like ‘Sesher Golpo’ with Soumitra Chatterjee and Mamata Shankar and ‘Kothamrito’ with Kaushik Ganguly and Aparajita Auddy. ‘Aarii’ promises to be an equally compelling exploration of human relationships, sure to intrigue the audience.
Yash Dasgupta, who plays the son, expressed his excitement about the project, stating that ‘Aarii’ differs significantly from their production debut commercial film, ‘Sentimentaaal.’ “This film tackles contemporary issues, focusing on relationship tensions and the complexities of life,” he revealed.
Nusrat Jahan, playing the role of the writer in ‘Aarii ‘, brings her characteristic depth to the narrative. Her character is instrumental in shaping the story and adding layers of complexity to the relationships depicted. Maushumi Chatterjee, as the mother, adds her veteran presence to the cast.
‘Aarii’ is eagerly awaited for its release next year, the Bengali New Year—Pohela Boishakh—promising a poignant and thought-provoking cinematic experience that will captivate the audience.
