For the first time, a Bengali film is based on the concept of time-loop. The film is Black Day directed by Barshali Chatterjee. The shooting of the film is currently in progress in Kolkata.

The hero of the film is a fashion photographer, Lobh and his life is stuck in a single day. He cannot get out of that day. How he overcomes this hurdle and gets out of this time loop is what the film all about.

The scene that was being shot was a crucial scene just before the climax scene of the film.

The director of the film, Barshali heard this story from Joy and she was attracted by the unique concept. It is then that she got the idea of making this in a film. She has always made films with unique concepts like Jenana.

Joy Roy, Rittika Sen, Pujarini Ghosh and Rupanjana Mitra will be seen in pivotal roles in the film.

Rittika Sen plays the role of a mysterious girl named Maya in the film. “This is the first time that a Bengali film is made on the concept of time-loop. That excited me and secondly this is made by a female director. I had earlier worked with another female director, Aparna Sen. So these two factors actually motivated me to work in this film” said Rittika Sen.

Joy Roy who plays Lobh is also the person behind the concept of this film. “Actually when Barshali heard the script, she offered me to do the role as I knew the concept better than anyone else. She felt that I will be able to do justice to the film. So I said yes and began acting in the film” said Joy Roy.

The film’s music has been composed by Amit Maity and there are four songs in the film.

The film is eyeing for release just after Durga Puja.
