Kolkata, Dec 27 (FN Agency) BD Film Productions, on Monday, revealed the digital poster of their maiden feature film ‘Kulpi’ across virtual platforms. Lending a voice to the ostracized and the outcast, Kulpi narrates the story the journey of a dwarf and his love story and boasts of renowned film personalities in the starcast like actress Payel Sarkar, Sabitri Chatterjee, Chumki Chowdhury, Rajatava Dutta and Biswanath Basu. Further, this movie introduces a new face among the popular ones by introducing actor Protyay Ghosh as the protagonist – Kulpi. The film ‘Kulpi’ is a means to eliminate the prevailing discrimination that is faced by those who are rendered differently as it narrates the tale of an educated young man, who happens to be a dwarf. The film portrays the struggles and mental agony an individual is subjected to and how society creates hurdles for them to overcome, one after the other.
Further, it accurately represents how self-conviction and belief is able to triumph over all odds, while showcasing the boundless and victorious nature of love. “Kulpi is a romantic comedy dealing with some rather serious issues that have the potential to handicap our society. Protyay has done absolute justice to the character of Kulpi and Payel has aced her role as his love interest. Apart from the lead pair, Sabitri Chatterjee, Chumki Chowdhury, Rajatava Dutta & Biswanath Basu has given heart and soul to the characters they have portrayed. The film deals with a myriad of emotions and I hope people from all age groups shall have a great time watching the film, and grow into more empathetic human beings” said Barshali Chatterjee, the Director of ‘Kulpi’. The film tells the story of Kuldip Roy Chowdhury, nicknamed Kulpi.
While depicting the struggles of Kulpi, the film highlights a beautiful father – son bond with veteran actor Rajatabha Dutta portraying the role of Kulpi’s father, Kalipdada. The film also sheds light upon the personal, love lives and desires of these supposedly abnormal and largely ostracized people. Kankona, portrayed by Payel Sarkar, is Kulpi’s love interest. The antagonist Hilton Braganza attempts to subjugate Kulpi and force him into an established order of existence deemed fit for ‘dwarfs’. Kulpi’s efforts to emerge victorious over these impediments forms the crux of the story. ‘Kulpi’ is produced by Bidyut Das. Shree Pritam, Shovan Ganguly and Supratip Bhattacharya have come together and composed the music for the film. ‘Kulpi’ is expected to release in the first quarter of 2022.
