The first film from upcoming director Subrata Ghosh features an exceptionally original plot. Tahader Katha is devoted to all authors, famous and obscure, successful and unsuccessful. Tahader Katha means About Them, as the name would imply. Here, the filmmaker wants to discuss writers who are unknown or unpopular but who still want to convey their stories and always have.

There is such unpredictability in the creative industry that a talented writer can go undiscovered for all time. The characters in their novels die because readers don’t get to know them because their stories aren’t being read. The saddest aspect about writing well and being well-known is the difficult route that not many artists can take. Wonderful tales and admirable personalities are taken away by stupendous and agonizing fights! The script reading sessions held the entire unit fascinated, and the pictorial alternation of the layered characters and plot would undoubtedly cause ripples in the stagnancy.

The director believes that telling or sharing this narrative with society is extremely pertinent in the age of digitization and mobile technology. Reading habits are nearly nonexistent today. People acquire books only to show them in their houses but never actually read them. Unfortunately, as a result of this, many writers who are unknown to us are struggling to support themselves.

What better creator than Subrata who will undoubtedly do justice to the powerful and challenging making than someone who can create characters with such complexity and draw us in with their parts of the plot?

A fantastic pre-production has just been finished, and very soon the entire narration will be filmed in and around Kolkata!

Tahader Katha is a blend of realism and surrealism in which we meet every character from the author’s different writings. Something extraordinary is undoubtedly on the way. Through the characters, the director will transport us to several periods.

The cast of Tahader Katha comprises Rafiqul (Rishav Basu), Anaal (Anindya Sengupta), Srinath (Krishnendu Dewanji), Priyanka (Debutant Trisha Das), Susmita (Rajnandini Paul), Buro (Deepak Halder), Debranjan (Amit Saha), Bhadra Basu, Biswanath Basu and Arindol Bagchi.

Rafiqul is an active Naxalite and Priyanka is a cabaret dancer. They are a much-in-love couple who are struggling with their respective area of work. Also, they dream of becoming lovers like Romeo-Juliet.

Tahader Katha will narrate the stories of these characters which are unique in their way.
