Noshtoneer, the highly awaited title of Hoichoi’s new show starring Sandipta Sen, has been revealed. On the occasion of Women’s Day, the platform and the actor presented an intriguing first-look teaser post featuring Sandipta Sen as Aparna. The post received a tonne of positive feedback, and ever since, the audience has been impatiently awaiting the reveal of the show’s title.

Noshtoneer, a social drama directed by Aditi Roy, is about a married woman who is committed to the welfare of her family and whose life is abruptly upended by a #MeToo claim in which her husband is accused of a blasphemous event.

The series boasts of actors like Shoumo Banerjee as Aparna’s husband Rishab, Angana Roy as Godhuli, Anindya Chatterjee as Soumya, and Rooqma Ray as Namrata.

Sandipta Sen, who is thrilled about her new show, said, “This is a passionate endeavor for me. Playing these strong characters gives me the opportunity to explore my acting every day, which is something I’ve always been enthusiastic about. Now that it has been exposed, I hope the viewers will be able to see the remarkable journey that is still to be revealed behind this everyday appearance. I am excited since my appearance in the series is really different from previous parts I have portrayed in the past. In a particular role, it doesn’t matter how I look. What counts is the character’s appearance and behavior. Aparna is a very difficult character, and I can’t wait to tell her story to everyone”.

Director Aditi Roy said “I am beyond happy to be portraying a subject that has been so topical and deeply ingrained in our society. The #MeToo movement’s large-scale effects have been seen by everyone. Therefore for me, it was quite an intriguing journey to convey those effects by telling a tale from an intimate and small-scale perspective. With Aparna’s trip to Noshtoneer, I was able to clearly highlight the conflicts on both sides of the movement.

Noshtoneer, starring Sandipta Sen, will soon be available for streaming.
