For the unversed, Devi Chowdhurani is more than just a movie; it is a rebirth of the Sanyasi-Fakir uprising, a tale that originated in Bengal, was tempered by the crucible of resistance, and is now associated with the most recognisable skyline in the world.

The film promises to give viewers a sense of the ongoing revolution rather than just a historical overview. Devi Chowdhurani is scheduled to hit the worldwide theatres this Durga Puja.
