After the huge success of Golondaaj, Dev, Dhrubo Banerjee and SVF came together again, for the magnum opus Raghu Dakat, a fictional story of the mythical 18th century Bengal superhero. Fantastic folklore unearths one of the most relevant chapters in Bengal history through an icon that emerges to become a legend.

Dev is going to model himself to play Raghu Dakat. This will be his second collaboration with director Dhrubo Banerjee who has delivered three back-to-back blockbusters, the sensational treasure-hunting adventure films Guptodhoner Sandhane and Durgeshgorer Guptodhon, and the recent sports-era film Golondaaj, which took the world by storm. box office.

This fantastic folklore as a story is written by Dhrubo himself, targeting audiences of all age groups and all walks of life.

Only then can we create a larger audience base. We may be lacking in resources, but the zeal to position and align our content nationally alongside great is worth trying with the treasure trove of stories and the huge talent base that Bengal offers, ”said Dhrubo.

Raghu Dakat will go upstairs in the middle of next year.

The new season starts airing on Hoichoi from today.
“I started my journey as Satyabati in 2017 and I still can’t believe how quickly, with much love from the audience, we reached the seventh season of Byomkesh. I will always be grateful to Hoichoi for Satyabati, a character who will remain one of my personal favorites. Now I wait for our audience to watch Byomkesh 7. I hope they bring us the same kind of love that they have in the last six seasons, ” Ridhima said.
