The film Gumnaami which is based on the Mukherjee Commission Hearings that takes us through the various theories on the death and disappearance of one of the greatest freedom fighters of British India – Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose

After surpassing multiple legal notices, remonstrances from a certain faction of the Bose family and various altercations the awe-inspiring trailer of the film released yesterday in the august presence of Bose family members Jayanti Bose Rakshit ,Arya Kumar Bose , Indranil Mitra, noted researcher on Netaji - Dr. Purabi Roy, and other members of All India Forward Bloc.

The trailer starts with the soulful note “Subhasji” , sung by the immensely talented and nationally acclaimed singer Sonu Nigam, recounting the glories of one of India’s greatest leader Subhas Chandra Bose (portrayed by the Nationally renowned star Prosenjit Chatterjee) .This is followed by a speculation on the various theories that surround the death of Netaji being narrated to the Mukherjee Commission by an investigative journalist(portrayed by Anirban Bhattacharya). The first theory suggests that he died on 18th August 1945 in a plane crash in Taiwan and this remains as the official theory till date. The second theory suggests that he escaped to Russia and was captured and killed in a prison. The third theory being that he escaped the plane crash, travelled back to India and lived in disguise as an ascetic.

The trailer is laden with some power-packed dialogues for instance when the investigative journalist is heard telling the Mukherjee Commission that in independent India every Indian citizen’s surname is ‘Bose’ because they are all family to Netaji, or when asked for water he seeks justice. Finally, the trailer ends with the journalist stating that he isn’t part of any political party but a member of the proud INA(Indian National Army), thus promising the Bengali audience that this 2^nd October, they would be travelling through history and commissions to seek answers behind one of the greatest conspiracies in Indian history.

It is my humble attempt to ensure that the forthcoming generations continue in their quest to seek the truth behind the disappearance of one of India’s greatest hero.”

Kolkata, 15^th August 2019 – This year’s National Award Winning duo SVF & Srijit Mukherji released the official teaser of their much anticipated Pujo film Gumnaami to commemorate the special occasion of the 73^rd Independence Day of India. The teaser was released in both Bengali and Hindi languages.

The film Gumnaami that goes with the tagline: ‘The Greatest Story Never Told’ is a film that takes us through the various theories on the death and disappearance of one of the greatest freedom fighters of British India – Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose

The power-packed teaser starts with the voice of Netaji (portrayed by veteran Indian actor and superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee) making an oath to Bapu (Mahatma Gandhi) and seeking his blessings that he would return to India only after securing its independence from the colonial rule.

This is followed by a speculation on the various theories that surround the death of Netaji being narrated to the Mukherjee Commission byChandrachur Dhar (portrayed by Anirban Bhattacharya). The first theory suggests that he died on 18th August 1945 in a plane crash in Taiwan and this remains as the official theory till date. The second theory suggests that he escaped to Russia and was captured and killed in a prison. The third theory being that he escaped the plane crash, travelled back to India and lived in disguise as an ascetic.

Speaking about the teaser and his upcoming release director Srijit Mukherji went on to say, ““Netaji did not die in the plane crash and is alive” - is a sentence that I have been hearing since childhood. Even today when the whole country and media is pondering upon the fact whether he died, Bose’s death remains a mystery. I have never felt the rush in the adrenalin as much as I experienced while writing this film and I’m hoping my audience will feel the same.
