Interesting facts

Maacher Jhol is an Indian language Bengali-language culinary drama film produced by Sony Pictures Networks and Mojo Productions directed by Pratim D. Gupta, starring Ritwick Chakraborty, Paoli Dam and Mamata Shankar in the lead roles. It is the first Bengali food film that revolves around a Paris-based chef who comes back to Kolkata after 13 years to attend to his ailing mother.

Production

Pratim D. Gupta revealed that the idea of the film came during his trip to Italy where he was surprised to find local restaurants serving the recipes of mothers and grandmothers.

He also said that it was his eagerness to work with Ritwick Chakraborty again after Shaheb Bibi Golaam resulted in conceiving a character for him - Chef Dev D.

While Pratim and Ritwick have worked together in Shaheb Bibi Golaam, the film marks the first collaboration between the director and Paoli Dam. Mamata Shankar, known to be choosy about her roles, agreed to do the film immediately after reading the script.

Shooting for the film started from March 2017.

The music for Maacher Jhol is composed by Anupam Roy and the lyrics have been penned by Anupam himself. One of the songs has been written by Rabindranath Tagore with a French section written and sung by Anupam. The music rights have been acquired by Zee Music Company.
