“Lakadbaggha” to feature Rabindranath Tagore’s classic “Purano Shei Diner Katha”!

#RabindranathTagore’s classic “#PuranoSheiDinerKatha” to be reintroduced in the upcoming film, #Lakadbaggha, starring #AnshumanJha and #RidhiDogra.

Actor #AnshumanJha has seen his struggle days on stage doing theatre & therefore got exposed to a lot of literature & classical folk music. He is involved with all the aspects of the film’s he works on – especially music. Now he is trying to bring back the classical elements in the contemporary stories he backs. After using Bulleh Shah’s ever green ‘#BullaKiJaana’ in his LGBTQ+ release ‘#HumBhiAkele, #TumBhiAkele’ last year, Jha is now using the Rabindranath Tagore Classic ‘Purano Shei Diner Katha’ in his upcoming Action-Thriller ‘Lakadbaggha’ which is set in Kolkata. The vocals of the new rendition have been done by #ShuchiPathak and and Belgian music maestro Simon Fransquet has recomposed the song.

“It’s a conscious effort to include the works of these masters into the stories we weave today. I feel it’s our responsibility as artists. Tagore is a hero figure for me. And Purano is an absolute favourite & we have got my favourite female voice in Shruti Pathak to sing it. It’s her first #Bengali song.”

Lakadbaggha is an animal centric, Action Thriller, about dogs in #Kolkata. It stars Ridhi Dogra, #MilindSoman & #PareshPahuja in addition to Anshuman as the protagonist.
