It is believed in many parts of Bengal that a mother can defy even death to safeguard her child. Nishir Dak is one such story that showcases the daunting courage and undying will of a mother who will go to any lengths to save her daughter from the evil spirit – Nishi. Nishir Dak is a story of war between good and evil. It is the story of Tara, the blessed child and her fight against the Dark Force, Nishi.

Nishir Dak or Call of the Night spirit is a very common paranormal belief in Bengal. Nishi is actually a spirit that lures its victim into the unknown by calling out to him in a familiar voice. Tethering between reality and the paranormal world, the show promises to send shivers down the spine with its near-to-life storytelling.

Sahana Dutta is the Creative Director of SVF Television.

Nishir Dak narrates the story of the five-year-old abandoned and scared Tara played by Guddi who finds protection in the caring arms of Sreemoyee. Played by Tumpa Ghosh, Sreemoyee’s maternal instincts cajole her to adopt Tara and protect her from all harm. Unknown to the world, Tara’s fate is eclipsed by the curse of evil spirits as a necromancer – Agharnath is determined to sacrifice Tara to attain immortality.

Making a grand return to the small screen, Sauriti Banerjee portrays the role of Nishi and Subhankar Saha plays the role of Rudra.

The spooky look of Nishi has been worked upon for months as has been the details of each character.

Nishir Dak will begin from Monday, December 3 at 8:30 pm only on Colors Bangla.
