Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Based on Shaktipada Rajguru's literary work, the film reflects a distinctly Bengali tradition of 'gallows humor'—finding laughter in collective despair.

Trivia

Jeet, primarily known as a commercial action hero, took this role specifically to break type; director Shankar Ray fought studio pressure to cast a 'serious' actor instead.
