Kedara

Narsimha, an old ventriloquist and 'horbola' lives in a decrepit locality of Kolkata. Once a favourite among children, he barely manages to survive now and is reduced to a shabby madman. Abandoned by his family, he has a solitary friend in a local 'kabadi-wala', who, all of a sudden, brings him an old, majestic chair- a 'kedara'.

Directed by Indraadip Dasgupta, Kedara leans on a strong ensemble — Kaushik Ganguly, Rudranil Ghosh, Bidipta Chakraborty — 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 screen titles of 2019.
