has started streaming globally on the platform from today.

Praktan is also the sixth world digital premier on hoichoi in a p of only six weeks after

acquiring digital rights of superhit films like Posto, Paanch Adhyay, Ek Nodir Golpo, Room

No 103 and Bye Bye Bangkok.

Co-Founder, of hoichoi Vishnu Mohta said, “We are delighted with the response that Posto

has received and continues to get on hoichoi. Praktan, another gem from Windows Productions strengthens our content offering for our discerning consumers worldwide and we look forward to more such partnerships going ahead.”

After Posto and now Praktan, Bela Seshe would be the third film from Windows Productions going to be available soon on hoichoi.

‘Praktan’ which means ‘Former’ is about the failed marriage of Ujaan (Prosenjit Chatterjee)

and Sudipa (Rituparna Sengupta). The film opens at Kurla railway station in Mumbai, where

various characters are seen boarding a Kolkata bound train.

Along with Sudipa, the first class compartment also has a group of 4 musicians (popular musicians in real life – Anupam Roy, Anindya Chatterjee and Upal Sengupta (of the popular

band Chandrabindoo) and Surojit Chatterjee (of Bhoomi fame), a honeymooning couple, an

elderly couple played by Soumitra Chatterjee and Sabitri Chatterjee, and a mother Molly

(played by Aparajita Adhya) with her daughter Putul. Over the course of the 30 odd hour

s of the train journey, it takes us through how the various characters are dealing with ghosts

of their past.

Director of Praktan Shiboprosad Mukherjee said, “We would like to thank hoichoi for giving

our movies a global platform and audience. Bela Seshe will be the third film from Windows Productions that will be streaming later this month on hoichoi.”

Co-founder of SVF Shrikant Mohta said, “I always wanted to work with Shiboprasad-Nandita

but that never happened. For me it’s emotional and historical that we are going to premiere their

film which already made history amongst audiences. After premiering ‘Posto’ it is our second

time handshake with the duo.”

Speaking on the occasion, Prosenjit Chatterjee) said, “Praktan is a film very close to me as

this is my first film with Shibu-Nandita. I hardly was eager to work with them and Praktan made

this happen.”

“For me It is very important that Bengali film producers got back their money that’s why I am

very happy that Praktan will reach to more people because Smartphone and internet connections are everywhere these days, so if people subscribe to this platform and it will be worthy for both

the parties. Those who are practiced with watching pirated copies it will profit them too than buy pirated copies individually,” he added.
