Batashey Gungun, a Bengali series, has captivated audiences with its haunting reimagining of the classic title track, setting the stage for a narrative steeped in psychological unrest.

The Bengali series
Batashey Gungun
has releases its reimagined title track — a bold reinterpretation of the beloved classic from
Chirodini Tumi Je Amar
.
Directed by Arijeet Toton Chakrabarty with creative direction by Aditi Roy, the series follows three emotionally entangled characters.
Srijla Guha
leads as Pallabi, a lonely young woman whose need for love spirals into obsession.
Suhotra Mukhopadhyay plays Arindam, her professor, a man caught between desire and responsibility. Manali Manisha Dey portrays Mithila, Arindam's wife — observant and unraveling under the weight of secrets.
The reimagined track forms the emotional backbone of the series, weaving through moments of passion, paranoia, and psychological collapse. Visuals from the title sequence contrast stolen intimacy with silent devastation — a glance in a corridor, a marriage cracking in stillness, a gaze held too long.
'This is not a love story,' says Chakrabarty. 'It's about power, loneliness, and the damage we do when we break emotional boundaries.'
Guha, emotionally connected to the track through her earlier work, called the experience 'surreal.' Mukhopadhyay added, 'The music echoes the contradictions in Arindam — gentle yet dangerous.'
Batashey Gungun
stands out as a disturbing portrait of love turned obsession, propelled by compelling performances and a title track that haunts long after it ends.

Maa Box Office Collection Day 1: Kajol's Horror film Opens With Rs 4 Crore
Last Updated: Kajol returns to the big screen with Maa, a mythological horror thriller directed by Vishal Furia. The film opened with Rs 4.15 crore on its first day. After a three-year break from the big screen, Kajol returned with Maa, a mythological horror thriller directed by Vishal Furia. The Day 1 numbers are finally in. According to early estimates by Sacnilk, Maa opened with a respectable Rs 4 crore on its first day. Not bad for a genre that's still pretty niche in Bollywood. As per early estimates, Maa earned Rs 4.15 crore on its opening day. The report also highlights that the film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 16.49 per cent on Friday. Morning shows started slow with just 8.23 per cent occupancy, but numbers picked up by the afternoon, reaching 20.08 per cent. The evening shows saw a further boost, clocking in at 21.16 per cent. A part of the review of Maa by News18 read, 'The concept and story have substance, but the film lacked largely because of its style of storytelling. Besides, the film also has a lot of stereotypes that could have been done without. Besides the exaggeration that the palace had a almost 30-feet tall Kali maa's stone carved statue, the way people from Chandrapur talk in the film, everything seems to be a cliche that all the Bengalis would be running away from. It only gets disappointing to see Ronit Roy, who plays a vital part in the film, deliver all his Hindi dialogues with such a heavy Bengali accent. A lot would argue that it is not how people from Bengal speak when they talk in Hindi." In Maa, a mythological horror thriller, Kajol takes on the powerful role of Ambika, a fearless mother who will stop at nothing to protect her daughter from dark, supernatural forces. The film blends myth and mystery, marking Kajol's first foray into the horror genre. Alongside her, the cast includes Indraneil Sengupta, Jitin Gulati, and Kherin Sharma. Directed by Vishal Furia, Maa is backed by producers Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Subbarayan. First Published: June 28, 2025, 11:20 IST
