Time-Traveling Doll Sparks Kolkata Romance

Director Bodhaditya Banerjee's upcoming film, Milton, presents a distinctive romantic narrative. The story is uniquely told from the perspective of a ventriloquist's doll that travels through time, from a past era to contemporary Kolkata.

Milton weaves together elements of romance, comedy, and a hint of thriller. It delves into contemporary relationships, set against the backdrop of Gen Z culture and the pervasive influence of social media. The film stars Arjun Chakrabarty as Krishnendu and Shruti Das as Brishti.

The narrative follows four young individuals as they navigate love, cherished memories, and the possibility of second chances. This journey unfolds within the vibrant setting of a neon-lit Kolkata, a city pulsating with modern energy.

Banerjee's intention was to revive quirky love stories in an era dominated by thrillers and action films. He describes the film as being set in an engaging universe where four characters strive to understand their lives in today's dynamic world. The director emphasized that the music and youthful setting are designed to resonate with younger audiences, promising an entertaining tale of lost romances and unexpected reunions.
