Durga Puja 2025 to witness the comeback of Bengal’s box office king under Windows Productions
The Reigning Star of Durga Puja Releases
When it comes to festival blockbusters in Bengal, one name has consistently dominated both box office charts and fan anticipation — Abir Chatterjee. Over the years, Abir has become a fixture of Durga Puja releases, with hits like Karnasubarner Guptodhon leading the charge in terms of commercial success. But it was his powerful performances in Raktabeej, Avrodh: The Siege Within 2, and Bohurupi that cemented his stature as a bankable and versatile star.
Commanding the Screen: Abir’s Acclaimed Roles
Abir wowed audiences nationwide as Captain Pradeep in Avrodh: The Siege Within 2, delivering a performance filled with grit and gravitas in a high-stakes military thriller. The role showcased his ability to bring both restraint and emotional depth to high-octane narratives, earning him widespread acclaim.
In Raktabeej, a political crime thriller from Windows Productions, Abir introduced audiences to the unforgettable Pankaj Sinha — a composed, astute intelligence officer navigating a labyrinth of conspiracies. His layered portrayal of a man torn between duty and personal conviction added texture to an already gripping storyline. The result? A box office smash and a character that quickly became a fan favorite.
Breaking Boundaries with Bohurupi
2024 saw Abir take yet another transformative leap with Bohurupi, a genre-defying film that set new benchmarks for Bengali cinema. Not only did the film dominate the box office, but it also showcased Abir’s extraordinary range — switching between personas, emotional states, and hidden motives with seamless intensity. Bohurupi wasn’t just a film; it was a cinematic event, and Abir stood at its center, delivering a performance hailed as one of his career best.
The Wait is Over: Raktabeej 2 Gears Up for Release
As the festive fervor of Durga Puja 2025 builds, all eyes are once again on Abir Chatterjee, who returns to reprise his role as Pankaj Sinha in Raktabeej 2. This sequel, also under the banner of Windows Productions, promises higher stakes, deeper conspiracies, and an emotionally intense journey for its protagonist.
This time, Pankaj Sinha finds himself confronting threats that are more personal than ever, forcing him to cross lines he never imagined. Audiences can expect a darker, more explosive narrative, with Abir diving deep into the complexities of his character.
Producer Duo on Abir’s Magnetic Presence
The powerhouse team of Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy, the creators behind Raktabeej, are confident that Abir is the perfect anchor for their high-octane sequel.
“Abir brings a rare combination of dignity, depth, and intensity to the screen,” they shared. “He has consistently proven to be one of Bengal’s most bankable stars, especially during the festive season. With Raktabeej 2, we’re aiming to deliver a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat experience, and Abir’s performance will be central to that.”
Abir on Balancing Stardom and Sincerity
Despite the hype and box office expectations, Abir remains grounded in his approach.
“As an actor, my priority has always been to perform with sincerity and let the work speak for itself,” he shared. “While success is gratifying and it energizes the whole team, the real reward is seeing people come to theatres and enjoy the film. I’m thankful that my Puja releases — Karnasubarner Guptodhon, Raktabeej, and Bohurupi — have resonated with audiences. With Raktabeej 2, we’re hoping to continue that legacy.”
A Film That Blends Mass Appeal with Artistic Depth
With the trusted storytelling of Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee, and Abir Chatterjee’s unmatched screen presence, Raktabeej 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Bengali films of 2025. It’s a perfect blend of action, emotion, and socio-political intrigue — the kind of cinematic spectacle that defines Durga Puja for countless moviegoers across Bengal and beyond.
