The wait is over! Omorshongi, starring Vikram Chatterjee and Sohini Sarkar, is all set to release on January 31. Produced by Dreams on Sale and co-produced by Handykraft Pictures, Omorshongi, directed by Dibya Chatterjee, is a poignant tale of love, loss, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of a modern city. The film promises to take audiences on a fun and romantic journey, exploring the complexities of human relationships. The makers unveiled its poster today.

For Vikram Chatterjee, Omorshongi stands out from his previous work due to its unique blend of horror, romance, and comedy. He described it as the “most entertaining subject” and the “most entertaining script” he’s worked on to date, setting it apart from his other films, which include serious roles like Sesh Pata, action-packed ones like Pariah, and romantic ones like Shohorer Ushnotomo Dine.

What makes Omorshongi special is its genre mix, being a horror romantic comedy, which provides a unique and humorous storytelling experience. This project also marks Vikram’s first collaboration with actress Sohini Sarkar and the Bengali debut of Dibya, the director, who is working on his first Bengali feature film, though he has previously worked in Mumbai.

Vikram also mentioned that this is his second Bengali film with Dreams on Sale, the production company, and he enjoyed working with his friend Avinaba Ghosh again. He reflected fondly on the shooting experience, describing it as full of fun. He believes it will be a memorable journey for him in the long run.

Sohini Sarkar shared her experience of working on the film, highlighting the fun and excitement she had during the shooting process. “I was drawn to the script and enjoyed the opportunity to work with Vikram for the first time, which made the experience even more special. It’s a love story, a genre I haven’t worked in for a while,” she said.

Director Dibya Chatterjee said that his long-standing relationships with the cast and crew created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on set. He also mentioned that the film’s cinematographer, Abhimanyu, is an old friend. These personal connections made the process feel less like work and more like a reunion of old friends.

“The film was shot at familiar locations which also made the experience special for me, as I missed the local food while living in Mumbai. Reflecting on the shoot, I fondly recall the joy of those days... the food played an important part in the experience as it reminded me of home,” he said. Dibya praised the performances of Sohini and Vikram, noting their professionalism. This dynamic contributed to the wholesome and enjoyable atmosphere on set.

In terms of the film itself, Dibya explains that Omorshongi explores a love story that transcends the mortal plane, as suggested by the title, which means “lovers beyond the realm”. The film blends romance with elements of absurd comedy, tackling themes like love, toxicity, and ego, but ultimately remains light-hearted and fun. He expresses hope that audiences will enjoy the experience when they watch the film on the big screen.
