Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nirbaak translates to 'Speechless' — a deliberate inversion of Bengali cinema's word-heavy tradition, including Mukherji's own talky hits like Autograph.
The four segments map to genres Mukherji hadn't attempted: silent comedy, erotic thriller, canine fantasy, and social realism — all collapsing into the same hollow center.
