Bohurupi

The film draws inspiration from a series of real-life bank heists that transpired in the village of Raipur, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, between 1998 and 2005.{{cite news |title='Bohurupi' trailer: Abir Chatterjee, Ritabhari Chakraborty starrer promises a 'blast' this Durga Puja |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/news/bohurupi-trailer-abir-chatterjee-ritabhari-chakraborty-starrer-promises-a-blast-this-durga-puja/articleshow/113898123.cms |access-date=4 October 2024 |work=Times of India |date=3 October 2024}} Set in the notorious rural village of Chhyanchrapur, Bikram plays the titular role of a "bohurupi"-cum-bank dacoit.{{cite news |title='আজ বহুরূপীরা লোকশিল্পী নন, পথের ভিখারি হয়েছেন!'- শিবপ্রসাদ - Bohurupi Bengali Movie |url=https://www.etvbharat.com/bn/!entertainment/shiboprosad-mukherjee-shares-his-thought-about-bohurupi-west-bengal-news-wbs24091102260 |access-date=29 September 2024 |work=ETV Bharat |date=11 September 2024 |language=bn}} He is a commerce graduate who works in the local jute mill. But things take a turn for him when he is arrested wrongly due to false accusations of murdering a communist union leader and stealing some jewels.

Although he pleaded for his innocence, SI Sumanta Ghosal didn't pay any heed to his pleas and beat him mercilessly inside the jail. This incident changed his entire ideology, his life and perception about honesty and the society. Hurt, for being arrested and beaten despite not being guilty, situations forced him to decide that he will commit real crimes. Inside the jail he met Selim, a seasoned bank robber and got trained in the tricks and trades of robbery from him.

Sumanta's wife Pori is mentally unstable and suffers from a rare bipolar disorder. He sent her to a mental home for treatment as it was becoming difficult for him to balance work and personal life. On the other hand, Jhimli is the village's best pickpocket, with whom Bikram falls in love and married her. The story further depicts how he landed up in a cat and mouse chase with Sumanta after doing a giant bank robbery at Ajaygunj Co-operative Bank, in just 4 minutes.

He did a total of 22 robberies in 3 years, but escaped every time for his ability to hide in different disguises. Towards the end, Sumanta finds out many of his subordinate officers shafted off major part of Bikram's loot after a robbery, when they caught him disguised as a woman outside a temple. Their final faceoff unfolded with a thrilling thief and police chase in which Sumanta's sole motive was to catch and provide jail sentence to Bikram and his gang.{{cite news |last1=Chakraborty |first1=Shamayita |title=Bohurupi: Shiboprosad Mukherjee's 'first look' in the film released |url=https://www.ottplay.com/news/bohurupi-shiboprosad-mukherjees-first-look-in-the-film-released/e0be3d5fab596 |access-date=13 September 2024 |work=OTT Play |date=27 July 2024 |quote=Shiboprosad said, “We started planning for the film in 2011; right after Muktodhara.

Sudeep Ghosh Anandabazar Patrika rated the film 8.5 out of 10 stars and wrote "Bohurupi is an intense intellectual chase thriller between thief and police, which will keep the audience engaged till the very last moment.

He also praised the acting acumen of Shiboprosad, Abir, Ritabhari and Koushani.{{cite news |last1=ঘোষ |first1=সুদীপ |title=চোর-পুলিশের গল্পে রুদ্ধশ্বাস 'বহুরূপী' দর্শককে শেষ পর্যন্ত আসন আঁকড়ে বসে থাকতে বাধ্য করে |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/entertainment/review-of-the-bengali-movie-bohurupi-dgtl/cid/1551575 |access-date=9 October 2024 |work=Anandabazar Patrika |date=8 October 2024 |language=bn}}{{rating|8.5|10}} Priyak Mitra of Sangbad Pratidin reviewed the film and wrote "The film aptly presents the life and sufferings of the bohurupi community and how they are trapped in the viscious cycle of poverty and politics."

Prachet Gupta of Aajkal reviewed the film and termed it "an experience, where there are colours as well as the cleansing of colours."
