趣闻

Binodiini, stylized as Binodiini: Ekti Natir Upakhyan, is a 2025 Indian Bengali-language epic biographical drama film co-written and directed by Ram Kamal Mukherjee in his directorial debut in Bengali cinema. Produced by Dev and Prateek Chakraborty under the banners of Dev Entertainment Ventures and Pramod Films respectively, in association with Assorted Motion Pictures, it stars Rukmini Maitr in the titular role with Kaushik Ganguly, Rahul Bose, Mir Afsar Ali, Chandan Roy Sanyal and Om Sahani in another pivotal roles.

Production

The film was first announced by Ram Kamal Mukherjee in 2018. In September 2022, it was revealed that Rukmini Maitra had been cast in the lead role. The official announcement was made with a motion poster featuring Rukmini as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, one of the iconic characters portrayed by Binodini Dasi on stage. To prepare for the role, Rukmini learned Indian classical dance and studied several books about women of that era.

Director Ram Kamal Mukherjee spent two years securing the necessary budget to bring this project to life. He also finalized the film's title by keeping only the first part of her name, as he wanted to challenge the traditional social structure in Bengal that labeled Brahmins as "Devi" and non-Brahmins as "Dasi." Mukherjee aimed to remove the term "Dasi" because, to him, she was not just a servant but a star in her own right.

Many speculation surrounded the casting of other key roles until February 2023, when the filmmakers announced that Kaushik Ganguly, Rahul Bose, Mir Afsar Ali, Chandan Roy Sanyal, and Om Sahani would play pivotal characters. Although shooting was initially scheduled to begin in 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant delays.
