A new short drama series titled ‘Utshober Pore’is being streamed on popular OTT platform Addatimes since October 27.
The drama series consists of eight episodes which have been directed by Abhinandan Dutta and stars Ritobroto Mukherjee, Satyam Bhattacharya, Sreya Bhattacharya, Senjuti Mukhopadhyay, Arpon Das, Koushik Sen.
It has been produced by Roll Camera Action and narrates the story or rather a string of interwoven tales of a traditional Bengali Joint family that comes together during their family Durga Puja at their ancestral home in Kolkata.
The plot is set in the year 2011 and has glimpses of past incidents of the family members that changed their course of lives and relationships over the time. The story begins with Utpal, the younger son of the Mullick Family coming to his ancestral place in Kolkata with his daughter Sohini and wife Papiya from London to join in their long-standing and celebrated family Durga Puja.
Sohini, who’s a student of Mass Communication in London, is also an avid short film maker. Coming here in Kolkata, she bonds with her cousin brothers Rick and Ribhu, sons of Utpal’s elder brother and thus begins a series of events.
The theme of Bangaliyana and family life is at the core of the story’s heart. In a time where most of the world is confined to nuclear families and lonely corporate lives, this is the story that talks of the long forgotten family ties.
