Directed by Arijeet Toton Chakrabarty and with creative direction by Aditi Roy, the series premieres on June 20.

At the heart of this twisted love story is Pallabi, played by Srijla Guha, a college student starved of affection and consumed by an obsessive desire for her professor, Arindam, played by Suhotra Mukhopadhyay.

Though deeply in love with his wife Mithila, played by Manali Manisha Dey, Arindam finds himself emotionally entangled in Pallabi’s dangerous fixation. The series also features Silajit Majumder, Durbar Sharma, Moyna Mukherjee, Joydeep Mukherjee and Suprobhat Das in pivotal roles, each adding tension and complexity to this emotionally volatile world.

As tension rises in the trailer, Arindam begins to call Pallabi “the nemesis of his life” and wishes to undo the past ten months—longing for a Ctrl + Z moment that might free him from what he’s become.

But will he surrender to Pallabi’s growing power and fame—or is something even more shattering about to unfold? Batashey Gungun dares to ask: How far will someone go when love turns into obsession—and how far can love go before it breaks?

The trailer is set to turn heads for its atmospheric intensity, layered performances, and the chilling emotional spiral it teases.

Director Arijeet Toton Chakrabarty shares, “This is a story about what happens when the need to be loved becomes destructive.”

Suhotra Mukhopadhyay adds, “Arindam is haunted by a single choice—he’s living in a loop of guilt.”

Srijla Guha notes, “Pallabi doesn’t just fall in love—she clings to it like a lifeline. For Pallabi, Arindam made her world feel bearable. When someone becomes your calm in the chaos, obsession doesn’t feel wrong. It feels like survival.”

Manali Manisha Dey reflects, “Mithila was a very different character for me. She is modest but feels everything deeply—even what’s never said out loud.”
