'Dharmajuddha'

Credits: Director: Raj Chakraborty Producer: Raj Chakraborty Entertainment and Srijan Arts Music: Indraadip Dasgupta Release Date: August 11, 2022 Cast: Swatilekha Sengupta, Subhashree Ganguly, Parno Mittra, Ritwick Chakraborty Synopsis: The plot revolves around a small town of Ismailpur, which suffers an apocalyptic night as the town descends to anarchy when a sudden communal riot breaks out. Four victims, rivals to each other, take shelter in an old woman’s home, who awaits her son’s arrival. Conflicts break out within the four members as the outside anxiety grips all of them, with the old woman playing the role of a pacifier throughout the fateful night. As dawn cracks, the four members are met with conscience as the old woman’s crestfallen truth unravels upon them; thus bringing upon the realisation that humanity is the foremost religion. As we have seen in the trailer, ‘Dharmajuddha’ seems to be a brave attempt by Raj, especially in the context of the rise of fundamentalism in the country. Watch the trailer here:
