1. ANDHADHUN

Ayushman Khurana plays the role of a blind musician Akash. The trailer itself arouses suspicion in the mind of the audience- is he truly blind? Would Akash witness something that would change his life forever? How would he come out of this tangled web? Who is truly blind-someone who is unable to see or someone who chooses not to?

2. CHOTUSHKONE

Misdeeds from the past return to haunt us! Four directors, four stories, one common theme – Death! The flashbacks merged with the present day form an interesting part of the narrative. Among the four stories the one with the reverse planchet and the other one where dead characters return for revenge are really baffling.

3. BADLA

A story of revenge which starts with a death! Naina (TaapseePanu) is the primary suspect in the murder of her boyfriend Arjun. She hires Badal Gupta (Amitabh Bachchan), a senior advocate who has never lost a case in his forty year long career. The mystery gets entangled more and more as they attempt to discover the truth. Who enters and leaves from the locked room? Why would a blackmailer leave without taking the money?

4. GUPTODHONER SONDHANE & DURGESHGORER GUPTODHON

A journey to unearth hidden treasures of the past and a peek into an interesting era of Indian history- the two movies are a must watch for people who love the mystery in history! Bengal holds a lot of secrets from the past-Shah Shuja’s hidden treasure before he fled to Arakan and Jagat Seth’s valuable gift to Raja Krishnachandra.

Sona Da (Abir), a History professor decodes the clues from a puzzle in Guptodhoner Sondhane and a song passed down across generations in Durgeshgorer Guptodhon. Apart from the cryptic codes, a quest to solve the mystery, challenges at every step as the trio- Sona Da, Abir and Jhinuk encounter the villains- the journey also gives a view of Bengali culture, traditions and values and how they are deeply entangled with our life.
