Writer-director Srijit Mukherji has added a delightful segment in the narrative that seeks to give meaning to the title of the restaurant. It is also the unusual name of the restaurant where the story kicks off. The literal translation of the title is, “Rabindranath never came to eat here”.
#Rabindranath ekhane kokhono khete asen ni movie series#
Hoichoi TV’s latest series has an enigmatic title, ‘Rabindranath Ekhane Kokhono Khete Asenni’, and an equally enigmatic story. Rajat Ganguly Pradeep Mukherjee, Anirban Chakrabarti, Alexx O’Nell and Deboprio Mukherjee are adequate in their respective roles. Anjan Dutt is his usual reliable self as veteran detective Kharaj Khashnobish. Those who’ve seen him play mostly suave characters such as Byomkesh Bakshi and the like, will be pleasantly surprised. Rahul Bose gives a compact and assured performance as the unrelenting fact-finder, Nirupam Chanda.Īnirban Bhattacharya is a revelation as the uncouth police informer, Ator Ali. Her delivery of dialogue too is brilliant. She brings more than perfect enigma and mystery to the inscrutable character of Mushkan and looks beauteous while she does it.
The star of the series, both literally and metaphorically, is Bangladeshi actress, Azmeri Haque Badhon. Rabindranath Ekhane Kokhono Khete Asenni is written and directed by Srijit Mukherji, and produced by SVF Entertainment, in association with TVwala. But the truth is far more unpalatable than he could ever have imagined. A journalist Nirupam Chanda (Rahul Bose) visits the town to dig deeper into the truth of the restaurant and its mysterious owner. The latter is known for all the wrong things – she’s called a witch, a seductress, and so on. The restaurant’s delicious food is known far and wide, as is its owner, Mushkan Juberi (Azmeri Haque Badhon). The story is set in a small town called Sundarpur, which has a famous eatery by the aforementioned name, hence the title of the series.
Hoichoi TV’s latest series ‘Rabindranath Ekhane Kokhono Khete Asenni’, is adapted from Bangladeshi author Mohammad Nazim Uddin’s novel of the same name.
