Ananya soch: Nandita Roy & Shiboprosad Mukherjee: Storytellers who command the box office of Bengal with unbeatable records: In the realm of Bengali cinema, where festive releases often dictate footfalls and non-holiday films struggle for visibility, one filmmaking duo continues to break rules, rewrite records, and raise the bar again and again.
With Bohurupi soaring to a record-smashing ₹5.84 crore at national multiplexes during Durga Puja, and Belashuru holding the crown for the highest-grossing non-holiday Bengali release at ₹3.70 crore, Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee have firmly established themselves as the most bankable filmmakers in the industry.
These aren’t isolated successes. They are part of a pattern, a phenomenon built on emotionally resonant narratives, impeccable timing, and an unwavering pulse on the Bengali audience. Bohurupi is now the only film from Bengal to cross ₹5.84 crore on a holiday release, while Belashuru is unmatched in the non-holiday space and both hail from the same creative force.
This isn’t just storytelling. It’s cinematic strategy.
In a landscape where hits are hard-won and often short-lived, Roy and Mukherjee have mastered the elusive formula of critical acclaim meeting commercial triumph. Their films aren’t just watched, they’re believed in. They bring families back to theatres, spark conversations across generations, and deliver consistently high returns for distributors and exhibitors alike.
Call them filmmakers, visionaries, or simply: the storytellers who rule the box office.
As the numbers rise and records continue to fall, one truth stands tall in Bengal’s cinematic landscape, Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee aren’t following trends; they’re setting them.
