The intriguing trailer of the Poila Baisakh film Shesh Pata was launched in the presence of the lead star cast comprising Prosenjit Chatterjee, Gargee Roychowdhury, Vikram Chatterjee and Rayati Bhattacharya among others at INOX, Quest Mall. Director Atanu Ghosh, music composer Debojyoti Mishra and producers Firdausul Hasan and Prabal Haldar of Friends Communication were present on the occasion.

After the critically acclaimed Mayurakshi, Prosenjit, Gargee and Atanu Ghosh are back once again.

The trailer of Shesh Pata centres around Balmiki, a formerly well-known writer who now lives in obscurity, stripped of dignity and respect. A year ago, a publishing house gave him an advance to write about his wife, a budding actress, who was murdered brutally 30 years ago. Despite repeated requests, Balmiki has not provided a single page of the manuscript. To recover the writing, the publishing house engages Sounak, a young debt recovery agent.

“The goal was to give an idea of how the intense drama unfolds around Balmiki, his insights, his idiosyncrasies, and the emotional turmoil of the four characters. There’s a lot of story in the intricate frames and images, the acting form and the deep music. You can get a taste of that in the trailer. The response has been great. I got a lot of texts and calls saying they were captivated by the trailer. Balmiki aka Prosenjit Chatterjee’s final act over Dhintaker byata Tintaak has become quite a hit,” says Ghosh.

“I’m sure people will remember Balmiki for a long time. He is one of my favourite characters,” said Prosenjit.

“Bumbada is a legend, and it was a fantastic experience sharing screen space with him. It has been a lovely, enriching journey,” said Vikram.
