Pradipta Bhattacharyya’s upcoming film-- Rajlokkhi O Srikanto—is releasing on September 20, 2019. There is a lot of anticipation about the movie but the film has not got any halls till now for the screening.
The national-award winning director has expressed displeasure over the same and penned down a message on his social media platform. The post is in Bengali which was shared by Indranil Roy.
Indranil Roy tweeted, “This film, ‘Rajlokkhi o Shrikanto’ is directed by a National Award Winning Film Director. It releases this week but the film has not got any shows in Kolkata. He thoroughly deserves better than this...I am sure things will resolve.... btw who is the distributor of the film?”

The star cast includes Ritwick Chakraborty, Jyotika Jyoti. Bangladesh actress Jyotika Jyoti will be debuting with this movie in Bengali film industry.
In the film, Srikanta role is played by Ritwick who is an unmarried man in his mid-thirties. He has come to Kolkata from his village Nishindipur and works in a private nursing home in the city. He does not like what he does for a living, he wants to quit. He has a history of quitting jobs; he claims to have not liked doing any of them. What he wants is to be able to live independently, to be able to discard the trite and mediocre rules that dictate ordinary life.
At such a juncture, an old college friend of his named Hukumchand, an influential business tycoon, invites him on a picnic to a hilly province quite far from Calcutta, with a plan for them to have some fun and revelry there over a couple of days. Srikanta, having gone on such trips with Hukum previously, eagerly accepts the offer this time as well.
Side by side another story here is that of a married woman named Annada who Indranath falls in love with. They are forced to leave the village after a terrible accident and it is not until much later in the film that we find out where Indranath and Annada disappears too.
