BLOCKBUSTERS & BATTLES FOR BENGALI FILM INDUSTRY
Millennium Post Kolkata|Kolkata 30 December 2024
LOOKING BACK AT 2024
ANINDITA ACHARYA

The Bengali film industry experienced a rollercoaster year in 2024. The number of films dropped drastically to 40, compared to 134 in 2023. Television serial production also saw a sharp decline, with only 23 shows produced, compared to over 40 last year. Adding to the challenges, the ongoing disputes between the Federation of Cine Technicians and Workers of Eastern India (FCTWEI) and the Directors Association of Eastern India (DAEI) created turmoil. As we step into 2025, let's look back at the events and stories that shaped Tollywood in 2024.

Prosenjit Chatterjee and Rituparna Sengupta, one of Bengal's most beloved on-screen pairs from the 1990s, achieved a major milestone this year by starring in their 50th film together, 'Ajogyo'. While Prosenjit is in the 40th year of his career and Rituparna is in her 30th year, the audiences continue to love their chemistry.
