Bengali actor Arjun Chakraborty makes his Hindi television debut with supernatural thriller ‘Noyontara'

Time of India5 days ago

Renowned for his compelling performances in Bengali cinema and television,
Arjun Chakraborty
is poised to captivate Hindi TV audiences with his debut in upcoming supernatural thriller 'Noyontara' as Dr.
Shurjo. The show follows the story of 23-year-old Noyontara (played by Shruti Bhist), who acts as a bridge between the living and the dead.
Gifted with the ability to see spirits, she helps them heal their pain and fulfill their unaccomplished wishes.
A brilliant, rational-minded physician, Shurjo finds himself caught in a mystical world he doesn't believe in. Married to Noyontara out of compulsion rather than love, Surjo is emotionally withdrawn and still recovering with guilt over the death of his former fiancee.
Unaware that his biological mother is dead long back, and that her spirit is trying to protect him through Noyontara, Surjo becomes an unwilling participant in a supernatural web that threatens his very life.
He must navigate a loveless marriage and confront truths that have been hidden from him.
Arjun shares his excitement of portraying the character of Dr Shurjo in 'Noyontara' and says, 'I've been fortunate to build a strong foundation in the Bengali industry and stepping into Hindi television felt like a big leap, and I wanted it to be for something special, worthwhile.

Making my Hindi TV debut feels like it was worth every bit of that wait. Noyontara is unlike anything I've done before. My character Dr. Shurjo, is a rational and logical man, someone who lives by science and reason, but suddenly, he finds himself surrounded by things that defy everything he's ever believed.
His long-held ideas of reality are tested in ways he never imagined. He clings to what he knows, resists what he can't explain, and that stubbornness, that refusal to accept the supernatural, is what makes him so compelling to me as an actor. What makes it even more personal is that the story is set in Calcutta, a city that holds my heart. I know the incredible reach and emotional impact Hindi shows have across the country, and I genuinely hope the audience embraces me with open hearts.'

Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' falls short of 'Indian 2' premiere day advance bookings in the USA

Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life,' directed by Mani Ratnam, is set for a strong U.S. debut, earning $454,000 in advance sales. However, it trails Haasan's 'Indian 2,' which has already grossed $580,431, becoming his biggest North American premiere. 'Thug Life' faces controversy in Karnataka, with its release postponed due to Haasan's remarks on Kannada's origin. Kamal Haasan 's much-anticipated gangster drama Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam , is poised for a solid debut in the United States, though it has fallen short of matching the premiere day advance booking numbers of Haasan's upcoming film Indian 2. Advance ticket sales for Thug Life's U.S. premiere have reached US $454,000 across 375 locations, covering over 1000 shows and selling more than 17,000 tickets. Industry analysts are projecting that the film's total North American premiere day earnings could go up to US $ 800,000 positioning it as Haasan's second-biggest premiere day opening in the region.. However, when compared to the advance sales of Indian 2, which is set to release last year, Thug Life trails notably. Indian 2 has already clocked $580,431 in advance sales across 484 locations, with 1,457 shows and 27,935 tickets sold for its U.S. premiere. This makes Indian 2 Haasan's biggest premiere day in North America so far — even before its 2 being a sequel to Kamal Haasan's 1996 hit film Indian- the buzz for the film was much more as compared to Thug Life. Thug Life marks a major reunion between Kamal Haasan and legendary director Mani Ratnam after their iconic 1987 collaboration Nayakan. The film features a stellar ensemble cast including Silambarasan TR , Trisha Krishnan , Joju George , and Ali Fazal , with music composed by A.R. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Are you 18-79 with no funeral insurance?

Back home, however, Thug Life has run into controversy. The film's release in Karnataka has been postponed following backlash against Haasan's recent remarks claiming Kannada originated from Tamil. The statement drew sharp criticism from the Kannada-speaking community and the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC), which demanded an apology and threatened to block the film's release in the state. Haasan stood by his comments, refusing to apologize, asserting they were misinterpreted. Following escalating tensions, the decision was made to indefinitely postpone Thug Life's release in Karnataka. The Karnataka High Court also weighed in, advising Haasan to apologize to the Kannada community. Despite the controversy, Thug Life continues to generate substantial international interest. The film's strong U.S. advance bookings reaffirm Kamal Haasan's enduring global appeal, though it now has a new bar to beat with Indian 2 already setting an impressive record ahead of its premiere.
