Golondaaj power plans to get straight into the hearts of Bengalis with Pujo, Football and more!

Kolkata, 8^th October, 2021: To celebrate the grandeur of the Magnum Opus, this Pujo, SVF integrates with North Tridhara, the renowned Durga Pujo Association of North Kolkata, to honour the extraordinary life and unsung heroic contributions of Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikari in the field of sports. On the auspicious occasion of Dwitiya, the cast and director of Golondaaj remained present at the Pujo Inaugration of Golondaaj.

This collaboration with North Tridhara Pujo Association has taken “Golondaaj” to a whole new level of reaching to a thousand of audiences! This is the first time any Bengali movie has collaborated with any Pujo Association to create a theme-based pandal.

The main initiative of SVF to integrate with North Tridhara Puja is to create a much-deserved recognition among people about India’s Unsung Hero who brought a revolution in Indian Football Culture and his massive contribution to Indian Sports History. As Durga Puja and Football are very dear to Bengalis, there couldn’t have been any better way to bring both of these emotions together in the same tray.

Commenting on this collaboration, Director Dhrubo Banerjee said “It is an honour to direct a film that portrays the extraordinary life of Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikari and bring his marvelous story on screen. It is great that North Tridhara has given us one more medium to celebrate his magnificent contribution in a grand scale and this initiative will make every Bengali aware of him”.

Shikhar Tandon, President of North Tridhara, said, “Its a delight to collaborate with SVF in this unique initiative. Though I knew about Nagendraprasad Sarbadhikhari from before, there are many people who have very less idea about the Father of Indian football. We are glad that North Tridhara is able to highlight the heroic journey of Nagendra Prasad this time. We have tried to do justice to the history as much as possible. I hope people likes visiting North Tridhara during pujas.”

Dhrubo Banerjee’s upcoming historic fiction film  ‘Golondaaj’ is all set to get pan-India release on 10^th October 2021 in Bengali Language. SVF kicks the game up by a notch, by also releasing it in Hindi language on 22^nd October 2021 nationwide, to celebrate the heroic and courageous journey of Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikari, played by none other than superstar Dev. With many goosebumps moments and constant tickle at one’s nationalistic side, it will be a never seen before experience in Bengali Cinema.
