The shooting of the upcoming Bengali film Dictionary was recently wrapped up. Directed by Bratya Basu, the cast of the film consists of Abir Chatterjee, Nusrat Jahan, and Mosharraf Karim in important roles.

The film centers around a man in his mid-forties named Makar. Makar, as we see him in the film is a small industrialist. He is now living in the Kolkata Rajarhat area. Makar, when was young, passed a turbulent life (people used to call him ‘makra, a rogue’), but he is now apparently groomed though Makar randomly uses slang in vocabularies. His old rough type comes out often.

Makar had a bitter struggling past, and he is determined now to provide a planned life to his family consisting of his wife Sreemati and son Rakesh. This world as viewed by Makar approves only some clear achievers, an up-to-date type, fluent in English with a good accent. Makar has some limitations and perhaps due to that reason he dreams about his son. It is not that Makar could build up a loving relationship with his son, there is a distance. Makar can hardly express his emotions in a conceivable way. But he is keen to become a true and responsible father in all senses. Makar is egoistic, takes big challenges in business, and at present, he has taken a lump sum amount of overdraft from a bank and he is compelled to be docile with the bank official. What happens next?

Dictionary sure has an interesting plot with an amazing cast. A great film to look forward to!!
