On 25th July 2018, Team ‘Astitwa’ launched their official poster at Hotel Hindustan International. They also released their music CD on that very day. Jinia, Soumitra Chatterjee, Supriyo Dutta, Bhaskar Banerjee graced the occasion and were elated to be a part of Shyamal Bose’s creation. Bose took the initiative to pen down the story, dialogue, screenplay and lyrics of the movie ‘Astitwa’.
This Bengali flick centers around a socially conscious writer who reaches the fag end of his life and creative career too but expresses his intense urge to know the dark secrets of the society. He deeply focused his thoughts into the life of the inmates of brothel and talked explicitly about their lifestyle. With time, the film unfolds the struggle for existence of the underprivileged who were badly exploited by the privileged class of the society. Eventually, the author gets involved in that class struggle.
The music of ‘Astitwa’ is done by Sourav, Sonali Chaudhary. Raghab Chatterjee and Rupankar have done a pretty commendable job as always.
