Swastika Mukherjee and Tota Roy Choudhury star in the new Hoichoi series Nikhoj directed by Ayan Chakraborti. True to its name, the series revolves around a mother’s relentless journey to locate her lost daughter. The actors, along with the director, recently got together to unveil the show’s official poster.
The daughter of DCP Lalbazar, Brinda Basu (Swastika Mukherjee) mysteriously disappears following a party she attended with her friends. The well-reputed journalist, Romit Sen (Tota Roy Choudhury), who is both her favourite boss and mentor, is discovered disoriented and bewildered inside a vehicle that is stained with blood. This gripping narrative unravels a macabre story involving forensic investigations, police protocols, romantic entanglements, deceit, lies, and the consequences of youthful indiscretions. However, at the heart of this mystery lies a mother’s agonising struggle to maintain her objectivity and sanity while her daughter remains missing.
“Nikhoj, particularly the character Brinda Basu, holds a special place in my heart because she is an empowered woman serving as the DCP of Lalbazar, but above all, she is a mother with her own unique challenges and coping mechanisms. The narrative of Nikhoj revolves around a mother’s arduous journey to locate her missing daughter while doing her job as part of the police force,” said Swastika.
Tota’s character, Romit Sen, exhibits a multitude of complexities. “The entire team has worked with so much passion and dedication for this project, and my earnest wish is that the audience embraces it with the same enthusiasm we experienced while creating it,” said Tota.
“The characters of Nikhoj have been created in such a way that people can resonate with them. The story has various shades and emotions, but at the same time has thrills, mystery and drama. Both Swastika Mukherjee and Tota Roy Choudhury have done an amazing job portraying the characters of Brinda Basu and Romit Sen,” said director Ayan Chakraborti.
Nikhoj is scheduled to stream on Hoichoi in August.
