Gotro (transl. Clan) is a 2019 Indian Bengali-language emotional family action drama film, directed, produced and co-written by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee. It stars Anashua Majumdar, Nigel Akkara and Manali Dey, with Ambarish Bhattacharya, Saheb Chatterjee and Badshah Moitra. The film revolves around the relationship between Mukti Debi (Majumdar), a widow who lives alone in her mansion, with her caretaker Tareq (Akkara), an ex-convict and shows how their lives undergo a change.

Production

According to Mukherjee, long ago, Nigel Akkara had sent a young boy to his home at Baranagar as they were looking for a caretaker. After some days, the boy informed Mukherjee that he felt he wasn't fit for the job. On being asked why, he replied that Mukherjee's mother had been teaching him the texts of Rabindranath Tagore and he couldn't understand any of those. This formed the core plot for Gotro.

Nandita Roy opted for Anashua Majumdar to pick up the character traits of Mukherjee's mother. Majumdar revealed being moved by the character Mukti Devi; especially when she learned that it had been inspired by Shiboprosad's mother. She also admitted of having some similarities with the character, though she had no belief in caste and creed discrimination.

During the initial stages of production, Mukherjee and Roy were reluctant to talk about the film's theme and casting; they wanted people to guess it. It marked their second collaboration in 2019 after their recent outing Konttho, released six weeks prior to Gotro. Upon its completion, the film was slated for release on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami in August 2019.
