Aakash Aath is all set to present a new show based on Bimal Mitra’s novel Kori Diye Kinlam directed by Sajal Bose as the third story for their popular TV series, Sahityer Shera Somoy.

“Bengali literature is enriched with various significant works by eminent writers whose contribution brought radical changes in the society and amongst the people. By bringing the excellent tales from the acclaimed Bengali novels the purpose of this noble initiative is to enlighten the young generation about such masterpieces so that they remain closely knitted with their actual roots. The starcast has been chosen with utmost care,” said Priyanka Surana Bardia, director, Aakash Aath.

Kori Diye Kinlam narrates the journey of three young individuals, Laxmi, Sati and Dipu. How Laxmi and Sati win over the impediments to establish their own identity and Dipu, who by virtue of destiny falls in love with Sati but fails to express his emotion plays a major role in safeguarding and supporting the two young sisters during the period of sheer turmoil and insecurity forms the crux of the story.

“In Kori Diye Kinlam I will be essaying the character of Laxmi. It was a daunting task for me to minutely uphold all the traits. It is Sajal Bose’s unmatched guidance and infinite dedication towards us that helps each of the actors to be perfect,” said actress, Arkoja Acharyya.

“The audience will be seeing me in the role of Dipankar Sen who is popularly identified as Dipu. This is challenging as well as exciting for me. I am determined to give the best effort to bring out the finest shades of this particular role which are innocence, courage and sacrifice,” said actor Arnab Biswas.

“Kori Diye Kinlam reflects the society of the pre-Independence era. The lifestyle, beliefs, rituals and societal norms... all dates back to this particular period. It is quite tough to accurately portray on the television screen all sides and the twist of this much popular novel. I hope our all-time viewers will praise and share an optimistic response,” said director Sajal Bose.

Kori Diye Kinlam airs on Aakash Aath, Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm.
