Divya Dutta’s ‘Chiraiya’ reminds one among Bengali collection ‘Sampurna’

For individuals who have watched the Bengali net collection ‘Sampurna’ on ‘Hoichoi’, you might be sure to discover a resemblance with the trailer of Divya Dutta-starrer Hindi net collection ‘Chiraiya’. Additionally, with ‘Chiraiya’, ‘SVF Leisure’ steps into the Hindi-language digital collection. This is identical firm that owns ‘Hoichoi’, the Bengali digital platform. Due to this fact, the similarities are arduous to disregard.

Very similar to Bengali actress Sohini Sarkar in ‘Sampurna’, Divya performs an excellent daughter-in-law of a close-knit household, whose seemingly secure world begins to shatter when she discovers that her sister-in-law Pooja is going through sexual abuse inside her marriage. As tough truths start to unfold, she finds herself torn between defending her household’s honour and standing up for what is true.

From the trailer, ‘Chiraiya’ appears to spotlight the identical points that ‘Sampurna’ did. It’s a social drama on marriage, consent and silence. In ‘Sampurna’, the problems of marital rape and its influence on psychological well being have been highlighted too.

“With ‘Chiraiya’, we aren’t simply telling a narrative; we’re holding up a mirror to the silences we’ve inherited. I’ve at all times been aware of the characters I convey to life, however Kamlesh (her character) is totally different. She is a chunk of my coronary heart. She is a girl sure by the values she has at all times cherished, but she finds herself at a crossroads the place her love for her household meets her refusal to disregard injustice. I actually hope ‘Chiraiya’ makes us pause and rethink the ‘norms’ we’ve been conditioned to simply accept. It’s time we begin conversations which were overdue for generations,” mentioned Divya.

The collection additionally stars Sanjay Mishra, Siddharth Shaw, Prasanna Bisht, Faisal Rashid, Tinnu Anand, Sarita Joshi and Anjum Saxena and premieres on ‘JioHotstar’ on March 20.
