The story unfolds in cinemas across UK on 9th March, presented by
B4U Pictures
Following global plaudit and a sweeping victory at the recent award season in India, Hindi cinema’s most accomplished actress, Vidya Balan, is set to storm the Box Office once more with her latest female-centric film offering. Inspired by real life events, Kahaani unfolds in cinemas across the UK on 9th March, releasing through B4U Pictures and presented by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures.
A captivating, cinematic retelling that will have audiences drawn in from the title sequence to the end credits, Kahaani is the latest tour de force by maverick filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh, who masterfully blends art with intrigue on screen. Set against a menacing backdrop of Kolkata by-lanes and alleyways, Kahaani presents Vidya Balan in her fifth female-centric role to date. Her essaying of a heavily pregnant, married woman desperately seeking clues into her husband’s mysterious disappearance in a foreign land is likely to be lauded by critics and cinemagoers alike as she impeccably matches her recent, multi award-winning performance in The Dirty Picture. The sinister mise en scene of Kahaani is further heightened by a haunting soundtrack, courtesy of Hindi cinema’s gifted composing duo, Vishal-Shekhar.
Synopsis
Vidya Bagchi (Vidya Balan) arrives in Kolkata from London to find her missing husband. Seven months pregnant and alone in a festive city, she begins a relentless search for her husband. With nothing to rely on except fragments from her memories about him, all clues seem to reach a dead end when everyone tries to convince.
Vidya that her husband does not exist. She slowly realises that nothing is what it seems. In a city soaked in lies, Vidya is determined to unravel the truth about her husband – for herself and her unborn child – even at the cost of her own life.
Sunil Shah, Head Of B4U Film Distribution said, “B4U are thrilled to be releasing ‘Kahaani’. After the super success of ‘The Dirty Picture’, Vidya Balan returns with yet another exhilarating, powerful role in ‘Kahaani’ – a performance that will show her versatility as an actress and a film that will bring realism back to Bollywood.”
