Bhutopurbo is a haunting anthology that intricately weaves together three timeless horror tales connected with each other Monihara by Rabindranath Tagore, Taranath Tantrik by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay, and Shikar by Manoj Sen. The film promises to revive the frightening spirit of Bengali ghost stories with a modern cinematic touch.
"
Bhutopurbo is not just a horror film - it is a homage to the rich tradition of Bengali ghost stories. By breathing new life into these classic tales, we hope to evoke fear, nostalgia and intrigue in equal measures. We were overwhelmed to have worked with such a passionate and talented ensemble cast who have given their best to this project. Bengali audiences are genuinely attracted to this very genre of horror, and thus we are confident that they will surely love this array of supernatural tales," said Kakoli Ghosh and Avinab Mukherjee, co-directors of the film.
The film has Satyam Bhattacharya portraying Phanibhushan and Amrita Chattopadhyay as Manimalika in Monihara. Rupanjana Maitra transforms into the enigmatic Matu Pagli, while Saptarshi Maulik brings the cult figure Taranath Tantrik to life. In the segment Shikar, Sandipta Sen plays the mysterious Tilottoma, and Suhotro Mukhopadhyay takes on the role of Purnendu.
