A biopic on Nabin Chandra Das (inventor of Roshogolla), has been reported to hit the big screens later next year. The producers of the movie decided to release it in December 2018, to mark the first anniversary of the state winning the GI tag for Roshogolla, and also to celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of one of the most popular sweets the world over.
“We are producing the movie and it will be directed by newcomer Pavel. It is a biopic based on the life of Nobin Chandra Das. It is also about the invention of rasogolla. There is a love story behind the invention of the sweet which is still unknown to sweet-lovers of Bengal. This actually made us take up the project,” founder of Windows Productions and acclaimed Bengali filmmaker Shiboprosad Mukhopadhyay said.
The film, titled Rosogolla, will be set in the backdrop of Kolkata in 1860s, and shooting will commence in January next year. Folk singer Kalika Prasad Bhattacharya, who died in a car crash in March this year, had composed the music for the movie a year ago.
The Geographical Indications (GI) Registry had recently announced that the “Roshogolla” originated in West Bengal as opposed to Odisha.
