Kolkata/IBNS: The trailer of Ram Kamal Mukherjee's upcoming Bengali film Binodiini - Ekti Natir Upakhyan featuring Rukmini Maitra in the titular role was unveiled by the makers on Saturday.

The film narrates the inspiring yet heart-wrenching journey of a young girl from the red-light district of north Kolkata who dared to dream of becoming a theatre sensation.

Against all odds, she carved her path to stardom as Nati Binodini, a name that became synonymous with excellence in Bengali theatre.

However, her rise was riddled with societal prejudice and challenges, as the shadow of her past continually threatened to overshadow her achievements.

"Binodiini is more than just a biopic; it’s a tribute to the indomitable spirit of women who face relentless challenges in their pursuit of dreams. The inclusion of Chandan Roy Sanyal as Ramakrishna Paramhansa Dev is a pivotal element of the story, adding depth to the narrative.

"It was a pleasure to have worked with Rukmini on this project for the first time, I would like my audience to experience the life she has put in the role,"said Mukherjee speaking on the film.

The film, which is produced by Dev Entertainment Ventures, is slated to release in theatres on January 23.
