Kolkata: Hoichoi, the digital OTT platform with Bengali entertainment content has started streaming their latest offering – a Hoichoi Original Film titled ‘Boomerang’. Yes, as the name suggests – the story is a fun take on ‘karma’ as in, “what goes around definitely comes back around”.
Boomerang is about four characters – a filmmaker (Sujan Mukherjee), a salesman (KanchanMullick), a police inspector (Paran Bandopadhyay), a journalist (Anindita Bose) and is a social satire which throws a dig at artists who blatantly copy others’ work, remake films and pass off as their own.
Akshar Nandi is an established Bengali filmmaker who mainly copies South Indian movies. As the audience is nowadays looking for authentic stories, he starts looking for a new story with a unique concept.
On the birthday of his girlfriend Mitra‚ a salesman who literally sells everything and anything named Rakhahari visits Akshar’s home and continuously nags him. Meanwhile, Akshar comes across Rakhahari’s diary where he finds a very interesting story and decides to make his film based on the same. During the negotiation process a sudden accident happens. That very moment Mitra and her uncle Police Inspector Paramananda Bhat visits Akshar’s house. This follows sudden situations that turn dramatically and drastically through some twists and turns resulting in an unanticipated climax.
Hoichoi has been on a high as its last few web series like Japani Toy, DupurThakurpo Season 2 and SheiJe Holud Pakhi have done phenomenally well among the audience.
Directed by debut director Sudipta Majumdar, who is known for being a cinematographer for Hoichoi’s popular Byomkesh web series, Boomerang is streaming on the Hoichoi app and website from 21st July.
