MUMBAI: Reliance Big Pictures will release director Buddhadeb Dasgupta‘s latest Bengali film Janala on 25 February.
Produced by Reliance Big Pictures, the film stars Indraneil Sengupta and Swastika Mukherjee in lead roles.
The film touches on the nostalgia of childhood and the quest to get back to roots while struggling to keep one‘s neck above the waters of the present day muck.
