Mainak Bhaumik's upcoming Christmas film to explore nuances of mother-daughter relationship

The film, Cheeni, will also feature actor Sourav Das in a crucial role.

SVF Entertainment Pvt Ltd announced their upcoming Christmas film Cheeni, starring Aparajita Adhya and Madhumita Sarkar.

Directed by Mainak Bhaumik, Cheeni will explore the dynamics of a mother-daughter relationship in a modern setting. The film will also feature actor Sourav Das in a crucial role.

Sarkar made her debut in Pratim D Gupta’s Love Aaj Kal Porshu (2020), opposite Arjun Chakraborty. In Bhaumik’s film, she will play the role of Aditi Banerjee, a working woman. Adhya will essay the role of her widow mother, Sarojeeni Banerjee. Needless to say, Bhaumik is all set to explore the nuances of the struggle of a single mother, who shares a love-hate relationship with her daughter.

Cheeni [Sugar] is the unique nickname of Aditi, while her mother’s is Mishti [Sweet]. “Cheeni is a simple story that showcases the different bitter-sweet moments between a mother and daughter. It is a film that encompasses all the elements of human emotions — be it, love, anger or humour,” stated the maker of Generation Aami (2018), Maach Mishti & More (2013) and Bedroom (2012).

According to the director, Adhya flawlessly fits every role and, hence, it was a pleasure to work with her. “Madhumita and Sourav have done a very good job with their characters. The goal was to make a light-hearted film that people would relate to. I hope the film is liked and enjoyed by the audience,” added Bhaumik.
