The trailer of the film Binodini: A Natir Upakhyan, directed by Ram Kamal Mukherjee, has been released. The film, featuring Rukmini Maitra, has been highly anticipated by audiences for a long time, and it has quickly gained attention after its release.
Initially, several producers from Tollywood hesitated to invest in Binodini: A Natir Upakhyan, a woman-centric film. There were some doubts about the film’s subject, and many were reluctant to financially back it. However, in the end, two major production companies, Dev Entertainment Ventures and Promod Films, stood behind the project.
A special moment occurred during the trailer launch, when instead of the producer Dev, the actor Dev publicly stated that he feels jealous of Rukmini Maitra. His comment reflects both his admiration for her performance and his interest in the film.
The movie is based on the life of Binodini Dasi, a courtesan who defied the patriarchal society’s expectations and inspired Bengali women to dream. She was the heart and soul of 19th-century Bengali theater.
Rukmini Maitra and Ram Kamal Mukherjee have worked tirelessly for five years to bring this film to life. Due to Rukmini’s flawless performance and dedication to her character, the team finally released the film on January 23. During the trailer release event, people saw Rukmini with tears in her eyes.
Rukmini Maitra has made a stunning appearance in the trailer and has brought a new dimension to her performance. Her flawless acting has earned praise from Dev. He says, “Everyone asks me who my rival is, and I feel jealous of Rukmini. The roles she has played in the last few years and the way she has presented herself are truly commendable. Just as Bengali cinema will remember Binodini’s name, it will also remember Rukmini Maitra’s name.
Hearing Dev’s praise, Rukmini responded with gratitude. She said, “Dev is a very generous person. He always says that I can work harder than him, no matter what I do.”
She added, “After so many years in the industry, it feels really good when a superstar like Dev says such things. I know he is proud of me.”
Despite facing some challenges at the beginning of the film, everything, from the first song to the trailer, has already won the audience’s heart. Rukmini has flawlessly showcased herself in various roles, taking risks to do something new, which Dev truly appreciates.
The real point is that while Dev took some time to experiment with different types of films in his career, Rukmini has chosen an entirely different path. She has never followed the same genre. In Boomerang, Tekka, or Binodini, Rukmini has consistently presented herself in a completely new way with each film. Her fresh approach to acting and her ability to portray different characters has been repeatedly praised.
Dev, who is also Rukmini’s special friend, has never hesitated to praise her. According to him, the dedication and energy with which Rukmini works is truly admirable, and he has always expressed his respect for her enthusiasm. Moreover, he has always been by her side, offering her encouragement.
