Interesting facts

Durgapur Junction is a 2025 Indian Bengali-language medico-crime thriller film written, produced and directed by Arindam Bhattacharya under the banner of Dreamliner Entertainment. The film stars Swastika Mukherjee, Vikram Chatterjee and Ekavali Khanna in the lead roles.

Production

The title of the film was revealed in June 2023. The film is based on the Chicago Tylenol murders in the United States. The director has made the film in the backdrop of Durgapur.

The motion poster of the film was released on 21 February 2025. Durgapur Junction marked the collaboration between Vikram and Swastika, eight years after Saheb Bibi Golaam (2016).

Initially, the role of police officer was given to Swastika, and the role of journalist was given to Vikram. But later, their characters were interchanged upon mutual interest and agreement between Vikram and Swastika. Vikram wanted to play a police officer because he hadn't played one since Khoj. On the other hand, Swastika did a police role in Khoj, so she did not want to repeat the same kind of role.

Vikram Chatterjee mentioned in an interview that he and Swastika Mukherjee had improvised a lot on the spot, "both in terms of the script and dialogue, to make it more powerful and impactful." He also added that an action choreographer was appointed at the last moment to help them shoot the climax sequence.

The filming started in July 2023 and was completed in December 2023. The last leg of the shooting was done in different parts of Kolkata. Major parts of the film have been shot in Durgapur. A few additional scenes have been shot in Bolpur.
