Team Shaktirupenn recently got together for the premiere of the series. Basabdatta Chatterjee and Rezwan star in the KLIKK series Shaktirupenn, which is set in Sutia, a small village three hours away from Calcutta. In the three years from 1999 to 2001 a reign of terror had descended upon this village. One heinous crime after another was perpetrated with alacrity. The two central characters of this story are Damayanti and Rishan.

Rishan owns a small boutique in Bnoichi village and Damayanti is the designer of this boutique. All the woven fabrics of this boutique arrive from Anadibabu’s looms in Fulia. On a particular fateful night, all of a sudden, a girl comes rushing, right in front of their car. The next day, they get to know the girl was murdered in cold blood. Unable to come to terms with this despicable act, Damayanti roars in protest. Rishan gets cautious and asks her to suppress everything. But Damayanti can’t accept this untimely demise of an innocent girl. And thus begins her fight, to fight for the oppressed victim.

“We are touched to witness the audience response after the premiere and it has notched up good views too. Several women, in particular, came up to our director Surajit Mukherjee and us, thanking us that we could depict a strong voice of protest against atrocities inflicted on women. This resonance with audiences was gratifying to know for the entire team. Creating the right notes for sociologically impactful content is encouraging makers to curate such narratives,” said Niraj Tantiya, director, KLIKK.

“We were overwhelmed with the response at the premiere held in ICCR. Several of our industry colleagues attended the premiere. The cast and crew got to meet together to see it with everyone as an all-consolidated series for the first time. We are very happy to see the resonance for upholding women’s dignity and safety through such content. The music was well appreciated and so was the song rendered by Pota of Cactus,” said Amlan Majumdar, writer/actor/ producer.
