Dark Chocolate - 2016

Story

The film is adaption of real life murder mystery of Sheena Bora, daughter of media barons Indrani Mukherjea and Peter Mukherjea. Bollywood actress Mahima Chaudhry makes debut in a Bengali film and will play the role of Ishani Banerjee, a character based on murder accused Indrani Mukherjea. Riya Sen will play the part of Rina Bardhan, a role inspired by life of Sheena Bora. Media baron Peter Mukherjea will be portrayed by Sudeep Mukherjee. What we decipher from the first look of the film is that Mahima Chaudhary, back from oblivion, plays Indrani Mukerjea and Sheena Bora is played by Riya Sen. Both the ladies wear dramatic expressions with some blood trickling down Sen's forehead.

Since the first look has been made as dramatic as it could be, it leaves us wondering what the film will be about, this since we hardly have any credible information about the case which is sub-judice. Most of what the speculations out in the media are what the police have told reporters. There is nothing yet that the court has established in the case. And this brings us to the problems with the films based on real life stories — in the pursuit of bringing the story to a conclusion filmmakers usually use their imaginations to fill in the gaps that are empty. And that makes for bad film making
