May 9 is shaping up to be a landmark day for Bengali cinema as Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy, the creative forces behind Belaseshe, Posto, and Haami, gear up for the simultaneous release of two major films.
Aamar Boss, their emotionally charged family drama starring Rakhee Gulzar in her grand comeback after 22 years, releases in theatres across India. Bohurupi, their socially sharp, record-breaking blockbuster, begins streaming on ZEE5 the same day.
Anticipation around Aamar Boss has been building steadily, with its heart-touching trailer winning praise and its Rajya Sabha screening hailed as a moment of pride for Bengali cinema. The film explores the tender, complex bond between a mother and son, and features Shiboprosad Mukherjee in a vulnerable, moving performance along with the iconic Rakhee Gulzar.
Meanwhile, Bohurupi, already a box office phenomenon, brings its powerful narrative to digital audiences, cementing its place as a modern Bengali classic.
“Releasing two of our stories on the same day across different platforms feels like destiny being kind,” said Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee. “While Aamar Boss will speak to the heart, Bohurupi challenges the mind. Together, they reflect the storytelling range we strive for at Windows.”
With one film poised for theatrical glory and the other ready to conquer OTT (Zee5) May 9 marks a double triumph for the duo who continue to redefine contemporary Bengali cinema.
