“In a time when digital content viewing has gone up and a cinema running more than seven days at the cinema hall is a great achievement, our film Pradhan achieved the feat of completing 100 days at the box office. This makes us feel ecstatic and we want to thank the audience for the love that they have showered on us” said Dev at the 100 days celebration of Pradhan.

Also gracing the occasion were director Avijit Sen, producer Atanu Raychaudhuri, actors Mamata Shankar, Soumitrisha, and others.

“I am extremely overjoyed at the fact that my debut film crossed 100 days at the box office. I have to thank the director, and producer, Dev da for giving me this chance. When I was shooting the film, it felt special as it was my debut film. Now that feeling has been doubled as it has crossed the 100-day mark”.

Pradhan was released on 23^rd December and has been getting good reviews from audiences and critics alike.

The story of the film revolves around a good and honest police officer Deepak Pradhan (Dev) who gets transferred to a village named Dharmapur. Accompanying him is his wife Rumi (Soumitrisha). He learns about the corruption and vile practices of the local Panchayat head Jatileshwar Mukherjee (Anirban Chakrabarti). What happens next?

“When we were making the film, I had asked our editor Sujay Dutta Ray whether our film had too many political references. I was thinking how the audience would react. He said that if this film did not work out, he did not know what would. That gave a huge boost to our confidence” added Dev.

Mamata Shankar was happy at the fact that she could be a part of such a good film that was able to manage this feat.

The cast cut a cake to celebrate this amazing feat.

Pradhan is still running at different cinema halls in Kolkata. If you have not yet watched it, you can surely watch the film this weekend.
