The official teaser for ‘Parnashavarir Shaap’ is out now. The Hoichoi original is a horror show based on the novel of the same name by Souvik Chakroborty. The book was much popularized by the Sunday Suspense audio version.
‘Parnashavarir Shaap’ stars actors like Surangana Bandyopadhyay, Gaurav Chakroborty, Arna Bose and Anindita Mukhopadhyay. It also has Chiranjeet Chakroborty, in the lead role, playing Bhaduri Moshai.
As we can get to know from the teaser, the series will be about an ancient demigod of the Budhists, Parnashavari. Parnashavari has two sides, like most gods and goddesses: one very benign and one malign. The goddess protects the people from disease and adversity, but once she is enraged, she will destroy everything.
A group of tourists comes to the serene hilly areas and somehow causes Parnashavari’s rage and their lives are now under threat. Bhaduri Moshai is a man who knows about these things and also has some ideas about how to get rid of the problems. Even though the character is very clichéd, Chiranjeet looks promising in the role.
Parambrata has proved his acting prowess again and again and he has also made a name as one of the finest filmmakers in the industry. His ‘Abhijaan’, the Soumitra Chatterjee biopic was lauded by all. So there is no doubt that ‘Parnashavarir Shaap’ too will be quite a fine thing. There are not many good works in the genre of horror in bengal, this show can change that.
Parnashavarir Shaap streams on Bhut Chaturdashi, which is on 11th November this year.
