Kolkata, November 13, 2026: Bringing an end to the anticipation of Bengali cinema enthusiasts, the much-awaited trailer of director Debarati Bhowmick’s upcoming Bengali thriller ‘Nazarbandi’ was unveiled at a glittering event in Kolkata. The exclusive trailer launch was held on Thursday, November 12, from 8 PM to 10 PM at SSR Globe. Jointly organised by Katha Vinyas Media and Armaan Ventures (Shaista Ali), the event witnessed the presence of the film’s cast members, creative team and several distinguished personalities from the film fraternity.
One of the major highlights of the evening was the presence of acclaimed actress Rituparna Sengupta, whose appearance added considerable glamour to the occasion. Other cast members and members of the production team also attended the event. The unveiling of the trailer has further intensified audience curiosity and heightened expectations surrounding the film.
Nazarbandi features an impressive ensemble of leading actresses, including Rituparna Sengupta, Payel Sarkar, Madhumita Sarkar, Rajnandini Paul and Darshana Banik. The film also features Laboni Sarkar, Chandrayee Ghosh and Debleena Kumar in significant roles. Rituparna Sengupta portrays Anamika Sengupta, a wealthy and influential painter, adding another compelling dimension to the film’s narrative.
Revolving around cybercrime, digital fraud, mystery and the intricate complexities of human relationships, the film promises an engaging cinematic experience. Its most distinctive feature is the complete absence of male characters, making it an unconventional women-centric thriller. From perpetrators and victims to individuals occupying pivotal positions in the investigation, all the significant characters are portrayed by women. This distinctive narrative approach lends the film a remarkable identity within the contemporary landscape of Bengali cinema.
Adding to its visual appeal, a substantial portion of the film was shot amidst the picturesque natural surroundings of Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh, offering an atmospheric backdrop to its suspense-driven storyline.
The film has been directed by Debarati Bhowmick and produced by Jyoti Dinesh Pal and Himanshu Katiyar. Ruhan Films has joined the project as co-producer, while SSR Cinemas is responsible for its distribution.
With the successful unveiling of its trailer, the film’s promotional campaign has entered an important phase. According to the filmmakers, Nazarbandi is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 19, 2026.
Combining gripping suspense, cybercrime, digital deception and compelling female protagonists, Nazarbandi is expected to offer a distinctive cinematic proposition to Bengali audiences and make a noteworthy contribution to the contemporary thriller genre.
