Based on Samaresh Basus 1965 controversial novel Calcutta, Unabashed, Bibar deals with the angst of city youth in Calcutta, who are caught between the lures of a new, liberalized society and fastfading traditional values.
In his office, his position becomes bleak as he refuses a loan to an influential person. He starts drinking heavily and starts visiting Sonagachi, the infamous redlight area of Calcutta with his painter friend Hiren Shiladitya Patranobish. He gets attracted towards a model, Iti Payel Sarkar. Biresh, in a bout of selfdestruction, vents his anger and frustration by strangling Nita and stages his alibi through Iti. The police start investigating but are unable to establish any motive behind the killing.After looking around for the main cast Raima Sen and Nandana Deb Sen were considered for the leads, Subrata Sen formed a star cast with Payel Sarkar, Subrata Dutta Rising and Tannistha Chatterjee. Subrata Sen said, I saw Payels photo and interview in Calcutta Times and decided to cast her. Tannistha has worked German director Florian Gallenberger and I have worked with Subrata Dutta before in Swapner Ferriwallah and know his potential well. Bibar might be a difficult novel to translate onto screen but Sen has worked hard on the script. ........
