Aritra Sen’s film Sohorer Ushnotomo Dine, starring Vikram Chatterjee and Solanki Roy, is set to release in the theatres on June 30. The film is a coming-of-age love story of two Calcutta-bred individuals, Ritoban and Anindita. Life poses a second chance for their unrequited love, when Ritoban, a disillusioned PhD student in London, returns to Calcutta after three years and bumps into Anindita, his college sweetheart who is now a successful RJ. As memories of their romance flash by in the iconic places of the city that seem to have frozen in time, the two ex-lovers individually reminiscence about the dream life they had hoped to have together before a devastating incident left them at a critical juncture with limited choices. While Ritoban took off to London, Anindita, who shared the same dream, had to sacrifice it and stay back to take charge of her familial responsibilities, all the while secretly pining for Ritoban to be by her side. In the present, their common friends from college reunite and while each share their unique journeys in the last few years, Anindita and Ritoban maintain an avoidant stance towards each other due to the burden of apologies, unspoken words and piling grievances.

“It is my first romantic film. It’s even more special because Solanki and I are uniting almost after six years. We have been extremely successful as a pair right from the TV show Ichhe Nadi. Audiences love to see us together. I’m Ritoban in this film and it depicts our generation’s story against the backdrop of Calcutta. So, keeping my fingers crossed and very excited for the release,” said Vikram.
