Just like his other films, Bhoot Pori offers a thoughtful exploration of quirky yet relatable characters, against a backdrop of history, social evils, horror, folklore, and comedy, of course. The film traces the story of an unlikely bond formed between a young boy and a spirit that has been stuck in a lonely time warp for 70 years.

Previously passing through any passing human, Jaya Ahsan’s Bonolota is pleasantly surprised at being able to touch the young Suryanararyan’s shoulder. The latter is essayed by child actor Bishantak Mukherjee. The story also involves a strange mentorship between the Ritwick Chakraborty’s local village thief Makhan and the young parallel protagonist.

Watch Tejas, Expendables 4, Australian Open, Cubicles 3, and more on OTTplay, by subscribing to the Jhakaas monthly pack, which provides access to 22 OTTs at just ₹249 for the first month. 

The film also features the starry likes of Shantilal Mukherjee in the devious role of Kalo Thakur, and Sudiptaa Chakraborty as Suryanarayan’s modern mother. As for Kalo Thakur, he holds a more complicated past, as he may have been responsible for the enforced deaths of several widows as Sati (an erstwhile social evil that made a young widow burn to death on her significantly older husband’s funeral pyre).

As for Suryanarayan, there is a possibility he is the former’s descendent and has inherited some of his ‘magical powers’, offering a justification for the strange connection between him and Bonolota, other than having similar dreams at night. All this is treated with a humorous yet dramatic approach, creating a solid foundation for the ultimate transition of Bonolota from a “bhoot” to a “pori”.
