The official poster of Madam Sengupta is out

Sayantan Ghosal’s film Madam Sengupta, starring Rituparna Sengupta, Rahul Bose, Ananya Chatterjee and Koushik Sen, is a haunting emotional thriller where art and vengeance collide.
Set against the vibrant and turbulent backdrop of Kolkata, Madam Sengupta follows Anurekha Sengupta (Rituparna Sengupta), a celebrated cartoonist, as she seeks the truth behind her daughter Ananya’s brutal murder at Bengali University. Her investigation draws her into a shadowy world of hidden agendas, political rivalries, and familial fractures.
A distinctive layer in the film is Abol Tabol — Sukumar Ray’s classic work of satirical poetry — which serves as both a motif and a mirror, reflecting the surreal absurdities and quiet tragedies Anurekha must confront. Through this lens, Madam Sengupta explores the unsettling intersection of satire, sorrow, and rebellion.
“The film is a gripping emotional thriller that delves beyond the mechanics of mystery into the hearts of those left broken by betrayal and loss,” said Rituparna.
Sayantan on his part added, "Though I’m known for crafting adventure and thrillers, with Madam Sengupta I wanted to explore a different terrain — an emotional thriller where the battles are fought within, where grief and love sharpen every mystery into something deeply personal. This film is not just about solving a crime; it’s about confronting the truths we bury and the resilience that emerges from loss. Collaborating for the first time with Rituparna has been an incredible experience — she brings an emotional intensity and quiet strength that elevates every moment of the story. With this film, I hope to offer audiences a new kind of theatrical experience — one where mystery, emotion, and human drama collide in unexpected ways.”
