Kuler Achaar trailer: Vikram Chatterjee and Madhumita Sarcar’s rom-com challenges social conventions

Madhumita Sarkar and Vikram Chatterjee will share the screen opposite each other for the first time in Sudeep Das’s Kuler Achaar. On Tuesday, the trailer of the film was released at an event in Nandan. The film also features eminent actor and theatre personality Sujan Mukhopadhyay and veteran actress Indrani Halder as the in-laws of Madhumita and will be released on July 15.

In the trailer, Madhumita, aka Mithi, refuses to change her surname after getting married to her beau Vikram. While her husband supports her decision, her in-laws, Sujan and Indrani, both insist to change her surname. Pressure mounts on Vikram. Amid the doldrums, Indrani also decides to go back to her maiden name. Things seem to fall apart and everyone starts blaming Mithi for the fiasco.

The trailer also shows how friends and relatives influence and ignite the age-old traditions even if those tend to defy logic. Sujan Mukhopadhyay and Indrani Halder both are suggested by their friends to be strict against their daughter-in-law. The trailer takes a comedy tone to deal with such social dynamics.

The trailer suggests that the film is going to be a take on the social convention of changing surnames after marriage. Earlier, in an interview with us, Madhumita said that she personally thinks changing surnames is not really necessary. However, she points out that the film is not just about the surname but also questions many other social conventions that we follow.

Meanwhile, Madhumita has also been busy with a Telugu film for which she learnt the language. On the other hand, the second part of Vikram’s web series Rudrabinar Obhishaap will be dropped on Hoichoi on July 1. The actor has also teamed up with Solanki Roy in Aritra Sen’s Sohorer Ushnotomo Dine.
