Moushumi stages comeback to Bengali cinema after 12 years
Veteran actress Moushumi Chatterjee stages a comeback to Bengali films with ‘Aarii’. The trailer has since been released.
The Jiit Chakraborty-directorial relationship drama, also features Yash Daasguptaa and Nusrat Jahan, hits theatres on April 25
After the First Look showing mother-son bond, the makers of the upcoming Bengali film Aarii have dropped the trailer.
This is the second production venture of Yash and Nusrat’s banner Shadow Films and GSI Films
The trailer features Yash Dasgupta as a man struggling to care for his ageing mother (Moushumi Chatterjee) battling memory loss.
The nearly three minutes long trailer shows Yash’s character taking full responsibility for his mother’s care — cooking, cleaning, and tending to her daily needs. As dementia sets in, Moushumi’s character begins to lose her grasp on reality, at times mistaking her son for her husband or a child. She forgets names, addresses, and even fails to recognise her own son.
Notedly, Nusrat Jahan enters the story as a writer who becomes closely involved in the lives of the mother and son. Her character appears to document their bittersweet relationship while developing her own bond with Yash.
Jiit Chakraborty has previously directed Sesher Golpo featuring Soumitra Chatterjee, and Kothamrito Kaushik Ganguly.
Moushumi Chatterjee’s last Bengali film was Goynar Baksho (2013), directed by Aparna Sen, in which she played a witty ghost haunting a jewelry box. She was last seen in Shoojit Sircar-directed 2015 drama Piku, which also featured Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan.
