The critically acclaimed film Shri Swapankumar-er Badami Hyena’r Kobole is set to have its world premiere on Hoichoi on April 12. Directed by Debaloy Bhattacharya, the film stars Abir Chatterjee in the lead as Deepak Chatterjee (a detective), Paran Bandyopadhyay as the writer Swapankumar, Shruti Das as Tashi and Pratik Dutta as Ratanlal.

In a city threatened by the terrorist Badami Hyena, a forgotten detective, Deepak Chatterjee, is brought out of retirement by his creator, prolific pulp writer Swapankumar. They unite with Ratanlal, Tashi and other characters in this pulp-drama-mystery-thriller film.

“Deepak Chatterjee isn’t just a detective, he’s a world in himself and Swapankumar is the creator of that world. The imaginative world that Swapankumar created is an urgent need of the hour in our society. After all, slowly our world and our surroundings are becoming dull, grey and dark! People’s creative spirit, the power of imagination and the vibrancy of colours are slowly fading away. I think the film is just a step to bring it back,” said director Debaloy Bhattacharya.
