Ek Je Chhilo Raja

Mahendra Kumar Choudhuri, the middle prince of the Bhawal Estate was affected by syphilis and was taken to Darjeeling for treatment. He apparently died in Darjeeling and was cremated there. After 12 years, a Sanyasi shows up at the estate, arousing people’s curiosity and leading to a rumour that he is the lost prince of the Bikrampur Estate.

Directed by Srijit Mukherji, Ek Je Chhilo Raja leans on a strong ensemble — Jisshu Sengupta, Aparna Sen, Anjan Dutt — 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 mystery titles of 2018.
