Directed by the acclaimed duo Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee, this gripping film is inspired by real-life bank heists that rocked West Bengal between 1998 and 2005. Bohurupi features a powerful ensemble cast including Shiboprosad Mukherjee, Abir Chatterjee, Ritabhari Chakraborty, and Koushani Mukherjee, and unravels the transformative journey of a man scarred by betrayal, imprisonment, and an unforgiving system.

The phenomenal response reflects its captivating storyline, edge-of-the-seat action, and stellar performances, making Bohurupi a must-watch on ZEE5 Global. Set in the 90s, Bohurupi follows Bikram (Shiboprosad Mukherjee), a commerce graduate whose life is derailed after being wrongfully imprisoned. In jail, he bonds with a veteran bank robber and emerges as a master of disguise, orchestrating daring heists—including one at the Ajaygunj Co-operative Bank. His actions trigger a tense cat-and-mouse chase with cop Sumanta Ghosal (Abir Chatterjee). Blending gripping thrills with deeper questions of justice, morality, and identity, Bohurupi is a powerful tale of survival in a broken system. Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy, Directors of Bohrupi, went on to say, 'With Bohurupi, we wanted to explore how far a man can go when pushed to the edge by a system meant to protect him. Set against the backdrop of a turbulent era, the story is not just about crime or disguise—it's about reclaiming identity and agency in a world that often silences the truth. We're thrilled that ZEE5 Global is bringing this story to a wider audience through its World Digital Premiere, and we hope viewers connect with the emotional depth and the thrilling twists that make Bohurupi more than just a heist drama.' Abir Chatterjee, who played Sumanta Ghosal, said , ' Playing Sumanta Ghosal in Bohurupi was a deeply immersive experience. He's not just a police officer chasing a criminal—he's a man torn between duty and morality, constantly questioning where the line between justice and revenge lies. Working with Nandita di and Shibu da on a story this layered was truly special, and I'm thrilled that audiences across the country can now watch Bohurupi on ZEE5 Global .' Ritabhari Chakraborty, who played Pori Ghoshal, expressed, 'Bohurupi is a very special film for me; it's my first time working with Shibuda and Nanditadi under their direction. They have made such wonderful films that have inspired me so much to become an actor and to create roles. I consider myself very, very lucky because the character I ultimately got to portray is one of the most challenging roles I have ever played. It has so many layers and carries such intense internal pain that bringing it to the screen was incredibly challenging.' Koushani Mukherjee, who played Jhimli Pramanik, shared, ' Playing Jhimli Pramanik in Bohurupi has been one of the most powerful experiences of my career. She's fierce, complex, and caught in the storm of circumstances beyond her control. Every scene pushed me emotionally, and working with such an incredible team only made it more special. Bohurupi is intense, gripping, and full of heart—and I'm beyond excited that audiences across the country will finally get to experience it on ZEE5 Global .' Watch 'Bohurupi' exclusively on ZEE5 Global starting May 9th 2025.

From polki to solitaire: Tolly divas talk wedding jewellery goals
Akshaya Tritiya holds a special place in our hearts, including some of Tollywood's most loved actresses. This day is believed to bring lasting wealth and good fortune, and for these stars, gold isn't just a precious metal, it's a legacy, a celebration of self, and a secure investment. Calcutta Times caught up with a few leading ladies from the Bengali film industry to find out the one dream jewellery piece they've set their hearts on, whether for their wedding day or simply to cherish forever. 'Jadau kundan is more than just an adornment' The one for the big day: For her big day, Koushani has been dreaming of indulging in a grand, layered Kundan Jadau Polki set. 'I dream of a stunning ensemble complete with earrings, a statement necklace, elegant bangles, and a matching finger ring,' says the Bohurupi actor. Even if it costs a fortune, jadau kundan jewellery is more than just an adornment to Koushani Mukherjee. 'It's heritage and artistry,' she says. 'I wish to gift myself an uncut diamond ring ' The one for the big day : Idhika has always been mesmerised by the allure of diamonds. She says, 'Whether I walk down the aisle or not, she wishes to gift herself an uncut diamond ring.' The ring will be a symbol of self-love for Idhika Paul. She says, 'I remember Sushmita Sen 's diamond ring. It was from that moment that I knew I'd one day gift myself a stunning uncut diamond.' 'The elegance of diamond jhumkas truly stand out' The one for the big day: Be it my wedding or any special occasion, I dream of gifting myself a diamond jhumka with a matching necklace. Unlike traditional gold or kundan, diamond jhumkas have a timeless elegance that truly stands out. Oindrila Sen's vision of her D-day jewellery is versatile – perfect for both eastern and western outfits. 'I once saw a stunning pair of diamond jhumkas in a Dubai mall, and they've lived on my wishlist ever since,' she says. 'A solitaire ring & projapoti tikli have always been on my wishlist' The one for the big day: Today, on this auspicious day, my heart is full as my fiancé, Debmalyo Chakraborty, and I will be buying a solitaire ring. It has been a long-cherished dream that he's making come true. Another favourite of mine is a traditional gold projapoti tayra-tikli with layered chains and intricate detailing, studded with precious stones. 'The projapoti tikli has always been on my wishlist, and I plan to gift it to myself for our wedding day – a meaningful treasure I'll wear with pride and love as I step into this new chapter of my life next January if everything goes well,' says Madhumita Sarcar.
