As May approaches, anticipation mounts for the upcoming release of 'Dabaru,' the much-awaited Bengali biopic directed by Pathikrit Basu. The unveiling of the film's first poster this Wednesday has only heightened excitement among fans.
Scheduled to hit theatres next month, 'Dabaru' narrates the inspiring journey of Grandmaster Surya Sekhar Ganguly, portrayed by actor Arghya Basu Roy. Set against the backdrop of post-independence Kolkata, the film delves into the triumphs and struggles of a chess prodigy who rises from a middle-class family to become a celebrated figure in the chess world.
The poster introduces us to key characters, including Dipankar Dey, Chiranjit Chakraborty, Rituparna Sengupta, and Samadarshi Sarkar, who bring the narrative to life with their compelling performances.
Director Pathikrit Basu is optimistic about the film's reception, especially considering its unique theme as the first Bengali sports biopic. He expressed gratitude to Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee for their support and belief in the project.
In a poignant moment, Grandmaster Surya Sekhar Ganguly reminisced about his encounter with Shiboprosad in January 2021, a memory etched in his heart as it coincided with his daughter's birthday. Reflecting on Shiboprosad's enthusiasm for bringing his life story to the silver screen, Surya Sekhar expressed profound gratitude.
With its release scheduled for May 10th, 'Dabaru' promises to captivate audiences with its riveting narrative and stellar performances, marking a significant milestone in Bengali cinema. As the countdown begins, fans eagerly await the cinematic journey that awaits them on the big screen.
