Fridaay has unveiled the official poster of its upcoming Bengali web film, Phutaniganjer Mahesh, directed by Sayantan Mukherjee, offering audiences an intriguing first glimpse into a story deeply rooted in the soil of Bengal. The poster captures the essence of the film’s rustic setting while hinting at an emotionally rich narrative that explores human relationships, aspirations, and the complexities of contemporary society.
Produced by Camellia Productions Pvt.

Directed by Sayantan Mukherjee, the web film is expected to strike a chord with audiences through its authentic storytelling, relatable characters, and emotionally resonant moments. Blending realism with compelling drama, PhutaniGanjer Mahesh reflects the spirit of rural Bengal while presenting a universally relatable story.
Speaking about the film, director Sayantan Mukherjee said, “Phutaniganjer Mahesh is inspired by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s timeless classic Mahesh—a story that has stayed with generations of readers since our school days. I had always wanted to bring this story to the screen, but I also knew how challenging it was, especially knowing that even Ritwik Ghatak had once attempted it. When writer Arkadeep Nath narrated this unique interpretation, blending Mahesh with the life of the legendary theatre personality Harimadhab Mukhopadhyay, I was deeply moved. Mr. Nil Ratan Datta of Camellia Productions shared the same excitement, and together we brought this film to life. I’m truly proud of Phutaniganjer Mahesh.”
With the release of its official poster, anticipation for Phutaniganjer Mahesh has begun to build among Bengali entertainment enthusiasts. Produced by Camellia Productions Pvt. Ltd. along with Rupa Datta and premiering on Fridaay, the web film is set to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative. The release date will be announced soon.
