“After doing Tonic, I have become much more responsible as a person. I have also understood from Paran da that age is just a number as he has done so many feats in the film at his age. He surely inspired us all” said Dev at the trailer launch of Tonic.

Also gracing the occasion was Shakuntala Barua, Paran Bandopadhyay, Tnusree Chakraborty, Atanu Raychaudhuri, director Avijit Sen, Jeet Gannguli, and others.

The film is a family drama that celebrates life.

Jeet Gannguli has composed the music for this film. “I have composed different soundtracks for many Bollywood films but I didn’t get such chances while composing music for the Bengali films. But with this film, I could also break myself as a music composer and present something new and refreshing for the audience. I have composed the music for many of Dev’s films. But the music score in this film is different” said the music composer.

Shreya Ghoshal, Anupam Roy, Nachiketa, and Anindya Chattopadhyay have sung the songs in the film.

Dev praised Paran Bandopadhyay for the energy and enthusiasm level that he showed while shooting the film. “He had said that he will not behind a certain height but his passion and dedication for his work led to do water rafting, mountain climbing and go to great heights for shooting the film. He aptly proved that age is just a number. You can fulfill your desires even at an older age” said the actor.

This is the philosophy that the film will give to the audience.
