Kolkata, 20th May 2025 — The trailer launch of RAAS, directed by renowned actor-director Tathagata Mukherjee, sent waves of emotion through Kolkata’s film fraternity. Produced by Chhobir Moto Entertainment, RAAS promises to be more than just a film — it’s a soul-searching journey into the heart of Bengali heritage, memory, and rediscovery.
A Journey Back to the Roots: Storyline of ‘RAAS’

There, he rekindles his bond with Rai (played by Devlina Kumar), his childhood love. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of rural Bengal, the trailer beautifully captures the emotions of lost relationships, the charm of simple living, and the timeless pull of nostalgia.
Director Tathagata Mukherjee shared,
“With this trailer, we invite the audience to take a deep breath and travel back in time — to places, people, and emotions we often leave behind.”
This sentiment is palpable in the trailer, blending emotional depth with visual storytelling. For readers wanting to understand the cultural significance of returning to one’s roots, our article on Bengal’s rural renaissance offers a deeper look.
