Bohurupi will make its streaming premiere on ZEE5 (OTTplay Premium) starting May 9, 2025. This captivating film, directed by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee, is inspired by real bank heists that took place in West Bengal between 1998 and 2005.

Gripping storyline and stellar performances

Bohurupi explores the life-changing journey of a man who has been scarred by betrayal, imprisonment, and a callous system; it features a remarkable cast that includes Shiboprosad Mukherjee, Abir Chatterjee, Ritabhari Chakraborty, and Koushani Mukherjee. The film has garnered exceptional praise from critics and audiences, and it has received high ratings across all platforms due to its suspenseful conclusion. An absolute must-watch on ZEE5, Bohurupi offers a fascinating narrative, thrilling action, and remarkable performances, all of which contribute to its extraordinary reception.

In the 1990s drama Bohurupi, the illegal imprisonment of Bikram (Shiboprosad Mukherjee) plunges his life into turmoil. During his time in prison, he partners with an experienced bank robber and ultimately becomes a skilled impersonator, devising bold heists such as the one at the Ajaygunj Co-operative Bank. An intense chase occurs between him and police officer Sumanta Ghosal (Abir Chatterjee) as a result of his actions. Bohurupi weaves an engaging narrative of resilience against a corrupt system by merging thrilling action with deep themes of morality, justice, and identity.

Director duo on the themes behind Bohurupi

Shiboprosad Mukherjee (Ramdhanu) and Nandita Roy talked about the film, stating that with Bohurupi, they aimed to investigate how far a person can go when pushed to their limits by a system designed to protect him. The narrative goes beyond mere crime and disguise; it also explores the quest for one's voice in a society that often suppresses the truth, all set against a perilous backdrop. Bohurupi transcends being just a heist drama, and they’re excited that ZEE5 is presenting it to a wider audience with its global digital premiere. They wish for viewers to engage with the emotional richness and exhilarating twists that define it.

Playing Sumanta Ghosal in Bohurupi was an incredibly immersive experience for Abir Chatterjee. He’s more than just a cop pursuing a criminal; he’s a man grappling with his sense of right and wrong, constantly questioning whether revenge is ever warranted. The actor is thrilled that Bohurupi will be accessible to audiences nationwide on ZEE5. Working alongside Nandita di and Shibu da on such a multifaceted story was an extraordinary experience.

Ritabhari Chakraborty reflects on her challenging role

Bohurupi is an outstanding film for Ritabhari Chakraborty (watch Shesh Theke Shuru), who portrayed Pori Ghoshal; it's her inaugural collaboration with Shibuda and Nanditadi under their guidance. Many of their excellent films have inspired her journey into acting and screenwriting. Considering herself extremely fortunate, the actor took on one of the most challenging roles she has ever faced. It was a significant challenge to bring it to life because of all the layers and the intense internal suffering it embodies.

The journey of embodying Jhimli Pramanik in Bohurupi has been profoundly transformative for Koushani Mukherjee. She is a multifaceted, passionate, and helpless victim caught in a storm from which she cannot break free. Working alongside such an exceptional team heightened the emotional resonance of every scene. Bohurupi is a sincere, captivating, and intense production, and she is eager for audiences across the country to experience it on ZEE5.

Bohurupi appears to be more than just a straightforward heist movie; it promises to be a deeply layered emotional journey into themes of loyalty, forgiveness, and resilience.
