Binodini: Ekti Natir Upakhyan, starring Rukmini Maitra in the lead role, brought to life the long-lost story of a woman who remained unsung for many years, until Ram Kamal Mukherjee wielded his directorial wand to breathe life into the forgotten annals. The film garnered immense love from Bengal and worldwide. Earlier, it got crowned with prestigious awards in the USA and the UK.

Adding another feather to the hat, Ram Kamal Mukherjee has now received another nod at the 56th IFFI, Goa, given his nomination as the best debutant director for Binodini: Ekti Natir Upakhyan.

Produced by Dev and Prateek Chakraborty under the banners of Dev Entertainment Ventures and Pramod Films, the film weaves a spiral around the life of Nati Binodini, a pioneering figure of Bengali theatre.

Binodini: Ekti Natir Upakhyan draws attention to a dilapidated female figure in history and revamps her narrative, thereby making the conserving of her legacy a reality. It is a movie that, with its nuance, makes you feel humble, with its profundity brings you to serenity, and with its reflection, it imparts the lesson of patience.
