Guptodhoner Sandhane

Professor Subarna Sen, alias Sonada, (Abir Chatterjee) is a professor of history at Oxford University. Returning to India after several years, Sonada meets his nephew Abir (Arjun Chakraborty) and Jhinuk (Ishaa Saha), Abir's best friend. Abir takes Sonada to their ancestral home in the village of Manikantapur, where Abir’s eccentric but erudite maternal uncle Harinarayan Singha Roy (Goutam Ghose) had recently died under mysterious circumstances. During their visit, they learn of the 350-year-old Mughal treasure of emperor Shah Jahan's second son, Prince Shuja, that is hidden somewhere in that palace. Before his death, Harinarayan Singha Roy had left a clue in his diary to help Abir locate the treasure. At the same time, they discover that the local promoter and political hopeful Dashanan Da (Rajatabha Dutta) also knows about the treasure and is trying to steal it.{{cite web|url=https://ebela.in/entertainment/hoichoi-to-present-an-adventurous-web-series-for-the-first-time-in-bengal-1.724170|title=ফেলুদা-ব্যোমকেশকে টেক্কা দিতে পরদায় আসছে এবার সোনাদা|last=প্রতিবেদন|first=নিজস্ব}}{{cite web|url=https://www.cinestaan.com/articles/2018/feb/28/11403/bengali-ethos-essence-of-dhrubo-banerjee-s-guptodhoner-sandhane-to-be-released-on-27-april|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180410000533/https://www.cinestaan.com/articles/2018/feb/28/11403/bengali-ethos-essence-of-dhrubo-banerjee-s-guptodhoner-sandhane-to-be-released-on-27-april|url-status=live|archive-date=10 April 2018|title=Bengali ethos essence of Dhrubo Banerjee's Guptodhoner Sandhane; to be released on 27 April|first=Roushni|last=Sarkar|website=Cinestaan}}{{cite web|url=https://www.cinestaan.com/articles/2018/mar/28/12086/actor-abir-chatterjee-promises-biggest-treasure-hunt-in-guptodhoner-sandhane-trailer-launch|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180411031233/https://www.cinestaan.com/articles/2018/mar/28/12086/actor-abir-chatterjee-promises-biggest-treasure-hunt-in-guptodhoner-sandhane-trailer-launch|url-status=live|archive-date=11 April 2018|title=Actor Abir Chatterjee promises 'biggest treasure hunt' in Guptodhoner Sandhane: Trailer launch|first=Roushni|last=Sarkar|website=Cinestaan|access-date=10 April 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/guptodhoner-sandhane-movie-review-dhrubo-banerjee-takes-us-on-a-joyride-of-a-treasure-hunt-4450153.html|title=Guptodhoner Sandhane movie review: Dhrubo Banerjee takes us on a joyride of a treasure hunt}}{{cite web|url=http://www.sangbadpratidin.in/guptodhoner-sandhane-movie-review-tight-knit-story-depicting-bengali-fabric/ |title=Guptodhoner Sandhane movie review: Tight knit story depicting Bengali fabric | Sangbad Pratidin Home |publisher=Sangbadpratidin.in |access-date=2018-06-09}}

Guptodhoner Sandhane was a box office blockbuster. Arghya Bandyopadhyay of Anandabazar Patrika gave it a rating of 6 out of 10.{{cite web|url=https://www.anandabazar.com/supplementary/anandaplus/abir-chatterjee-biggest-treasure-hunt-in-guptodhoner-sandhane-1.791941?ref=guptodhoner-sandhane-topics-topic-stry|title=বাঙালি কেতায় গুপ্তধনের খোঁজ|first=অর্ঘ্য|last=বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়}} Firstpost rated it 3 out of 5 saying "The best thing about the film is its simplicity. The makers do not have any illusions of grandeur, they know exactly the kind of film they are making, they know their audiences in and out and they customise their offering accordingly. The film did very good business at the box-office, despite Haami was a super-hit at the box-office.
