A haunting crime thriller is set to make waves with
Birangana
, a gritty and emotionally charged original series that brings together intensity, intrigue, and a fierce social undercurrent. Starring
Sandipta Sen
in a trailblazing role and marking the OTT debut of Niranjan Mondal, the series is helmed by director Nirjhar Mitra.
The newly released announcement video sets a chilling tone. Amidst torrential rain and a traditional wedding house, chaos erupts as a lifeless bride lies in the middle of a stunned crowd. Enter Sub-Inspector Chitra Basu, played by Sen, who cuts through the panic with a steely calm and silent rage. As the scene unfolds, Chitra's voice narrates the horror — brides are being murdered, each in a disturbing, ritualistic pattern.
'What have these brides done?' she asks, the question echoing against the thunder.
The mystery deepens when Chirayu, portrayed by Niranjan Mondal, appears among the bystanders — a brooding figure whose quiet presence hints at something far darker.
Nirjhar describes
Birangana
as 'a confrontation of silences and systems that suppress.' Sandipta Sen calls her character 'fierce, flawed, and constantly fighting to be heard in a world that wants her silent.'
With its powerful narrative, striking visuals, and layered characters,
Birangana
promises to be one of the most compelling Bengali series of the year — a story of defiance, mystery, and the hidden horrors behind closed doors.

Promote Bangla through films and TV series, Mamata tells Tollywood

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday called for promoting the use of Bengali in film and TV productions in the state. Speaking at the 'Mahanayak Samman' award ceremony, held on the death anniversary of matinee idol Uttam Kumar, the chief minister said, 'Sob bhasai bhalo, sob gaan bhaalo (every language is good, every song is good), but we must make serious effort in promoting our mother tongue and make the younger generation respectful towards our culture.' 'Give space to films made in other languages, but please give priority to Bengali works,' she added. She also announced special medical insurance schemes for the Tollygunge artists. 'We have a health insurance scheme of Rs 5 lakh for artists and 4,800 people are covered under this scheme. If we include their families, around 20,000 people are benefiting. Through the Film Workers' Welfare Fund, our government provides help for the marriage of daughters of struggling artists and technicians, as well as support in times of death. I was asked to include the film sector in BGBS, and we have done that. Cultural activities shall also be included.' Remembering Uttam Kumar, she said: 'It has been 45 years, but we can never forget Uttam Kumar. He was so good at lip-syncing.' Ace director Goutam Ghosh was conferred the 'Mahanayak Srestha Samman' for his body of work spanning decades. Singers Rupankar Bagchi, Iman Chakraborty, Gargi Roychoudhury, production designer Ananda Adhya, and makeup artist Somnath Kundu were also conferred the 'Mahanayak Samman' for their contributions in their respective fields. 'Giving this small recognition to Goutamda (Goutam Ghosh), an iconic director, on our part was overdue. Also, we are privileged to honour other personalities who have made the state proud,' the chief minister said. Several prominent film personalities from Bengal, including Prosenjit Chatterjee and Dev, were among those present on the occasion. With PTI Inputs

Meet man who was once a psychiatrist, became a Bollywood superstar, romanced Smita Patil, later turned into iconic villain, his name is...

There are many actors in Bollywood who were either engineers, lawyers, or even doctors before they became actors. A similar story is about B-town's biggest villain, who was once a psychiatrist but then switched his profession to become an actor. While one may think that we are talking about a star of this era, the man in conversation is a star from Bollywood's yesteryears. This Man Was a Psychiatrist Before Becoming an Actor The actor we are discussing today is someone whose skills are not limited to Indian cinema, as there was also a time when he did TV serials and was loved for his roles. If you are wondering who this actor is, then we are talking about none other than Mohan Agashe. Who Is Mohan Agashe? Born on July 23, 1947, Mohan hailed from a small town in Maharashtra. He was born just days before India's independence. From his early days, he was very good at his studies. Mohan also showed interest in writing. He completed his primary and higher education in Pune, where he obtained an MBBS degree from BJ Medical College. At that time, getting an MBBS degree was a big deal. However, after completing his MBBS, Mohan Agashe pursued a post-graduation degree in psychiatry. During his post-graduation studies, his interest grew towards acting. When Mohan Agashe Became an Actor Along with starting his career as a psychiatrist, Mohan Agashe used to act. He has also worked in Marathi, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, and Malayalam films. His acting was well-liked in films across all these languages. Not only that, he also romanced Smita Patil. Smita Patil and Mohan Agashe worked together in the film Jait Re Jait. The duo was praised by the audience, and the movie was highly appreciated by moviegoers. Mohan Agashe Has Worked in AIIMS In 1993, when the earthquake struck Latur in Maharashtra, causing widespread devastation, the Indian Council of Medical Research assigned Mohan Agashe the task of researching the mental impact on the people affected by the earthquake. According to media reports, he has not worked at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). However, he has worked at Pune's BJ Medical College and Sasoon Hospital.
