Gripping Bengali blockbuster film ‘Bohurupi’, directed by the acclaimed duo Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee and inspired by real-life bank heists that rocked West Bengal between 1998 and 2005 is set for its digital premiere on ZEE5 Global.

‘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. Culminating in a thrilling face-off that keeps viewers on edge, the film has won the hearts of critics and audiences alike, earning stellar ratings across platforms.

Directors Mukherjee Roy said: “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.”

Set in the 1990s, the film follows Bikram (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 (Chatterjee). Blending gripping thrills with deeper questions of justice, morality, and identity, ‘Bohurupi’ is a powerful tale of survival in a broken system.

Abir Chatterjee 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.”
