Patalghor

A heroine returns to her childhood home after a long absence. She confronts her past and recalls her difficult childhood. She struggles to cope with the current decay of social values, vice, and past trauma. The return frees her from the glitters and struggles of the silver screen and allows her to rekindle her relationship with her mother. She approaches life differently as she receives answers from the past.

Directed by Nur Imran Mithu, Patalghor leans on a strong ensemble — Nusraat Faria Mazhar, Deepanwita Martin, Moutushi Biswas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2023.
