Kolkata/IBNS: Dev Entertainment Ventures has unveiled the special poster of their much-anticipated film Binodiini – Ekti Natir Upakhyan, directed by acclaimed filmmaker, Ram Kamal Mukherjee at the Binodini Theatre (formerly known as Star Theatre) in the presence of the cast and crew members.

The poster introduces actor Chandan Roy Sanyal in a transformative portrayal of the revered Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa Deb.

The film narrates the inspiring yet heart-wrenching journey of a young girl from the red-light district of north Kolkata who dared to dream of becoming a theatre sensation.

Against all odds, she carved her path to stardom as Nati Binodini, a name that became synonymous with excellence in Bengali theatre.

However, her rise was riddled with societal prejudice and challenges, as the shadow of her past continually threatened to overshadow her achievements.

Director Ram Kamal Mukherjee brings Binodini’s story to life, highlighting her struggles and triumphs as a “fallen woman” fighting for dignity in a male-dominated society. The film explores her journey through the vibrant yet oppressive theatre culture of 19th-century Bengal, enriched by its musical and dramatic heritage.

"Dev Entertainment Ventures pioneered the art of storytelling, it was like a monumental task to recreate the life and time of the theatre doyen Binodiini Dasi.

Working with such an ensemble team was quite an experience. We have made the movie with our hearts and now look forward to its release later this month," said Dev on behalf of Dev Entertainment Ventures.

"Binodiini is more than just a biopic; it’s a tribute to the indomitable spirit of women who face relentless challenges in their pursuit of dreams. The inclusion of Chandan Roy Sanyal as Ramakrishna Paramhansa Dev is a pivotal element of the story, adding depth to the narrative.

"It was a pleasure to have worked with Rukmini on this project for the first time, I would like my audience to experience the life she has put in the role,"said Mukherjee.

The film is all set to release on January 23.
