“I Hope That I Have Succeeded In Capturing Feluda’s Character”-Tota Roy Chowdhury
It is extremely hard to find a Bengali who does not like Feluda. And understanding this emotion of the Bengali audiences, hoichoi has come with Feludar Goyendagiri – Darjeeling Jawmjawmat.
Starring Tota Roy Chowdhury as ‘Feluda’, Kalpan Mitra as ‘Topshe’ and Anirban Chakrabarti as ‘Jatayu’, Feludar Goyendagiri is directed by Srijit Mukherji and is based on the popular story – Darjeeling Jawmjawmat.
The trailer of this soon-to-be-launched series was launched at an event held at Techno India Salt Lake’s annual fest Arakronos. More than 100 students of the educational institute, hoichoi subscribers, Feluda fans, and others graced the event.
The series also has actors like Suprobhat Das, Lokenath Dey, Shaheb Bhattacharya, Rahul Banerjee, Subrat Dutta, Barun Chanda, Pushan Dasgupta, Manab Chowdhury, Mainak Banerjee, and Indrashish Roy in pivotal roles.
The show is about Feluda, Jatayu, and Topshe, who go to Darjeeling to solve an intriguing case. It is about the sudden disappearance of a priceless idol, followed by a gruesome murder.
“Feluda is an emotion for most Bengalis, and it is the same for me. It was an honor to play Feluda on screen, and as an actor, I was ecstatic to take on the role. Getting into his headspace, especially, was a difficult but rewarding experience. For our audience’s sake, I sincerely hope I’ve succeeded in capturing the character. Feludar Goyendagiri’s goal is to entertain audiences while staying true to Maestro Satyajit Ray’s storyline. It will also be the first title on hoichoi to feature Dolby Atmos’ enhanced sound quality. So, to say the least, I’m ecstatic” said Tota Roy Chowdhury.
“Feluda’s stories are something I have wanted to create for a long time, but I wanted to take my time with it. Feluda is something that Bengalis all over the world, including myself, are extremely protective of, and I wanted to do it justice. That’s why we took inspiration from well-crafted Feluda stories that already existed. The entire team has put their hearts and souls into this project, and I sincerely hope that the audience enjoys watching it as much as we did making it!” said Srijit Mukherji.
This event also marked the start of a collaboration between hoichoi and Dolby Atmos, who started working with hoichoi with Feludar Goyendagiri. Subscribers can now enjoy hoichoi’s high-quality content with the added benefit of Dolby Atmos surround sound.
Feludar Goyendagiri- Darjeeling Jawmjawmat will stream on hoichoi from 17th June.
