Jhumur, released on January 17, 2025, is a stirring Bengali drama directed by Barun Das and led by a powerful performance from Rajasree Rajbanshi. Produced by Satya Ranjan Sil and Raj Shree, the film blends emotional depth with social relevance, tracing the extraordinary resilience of a young Adivasi woman navigating a world stacked against her.

The story follows Jhumur Murmu, a brilliant and determined girl from a modest village who excels in both academics and sports. Her dreams take flight when she arrives in Kolkata to pursue a PhD at a prestigious university. But her new beginning is shattered when her roommate is found dead under mysterious circumstances—initially labelled a suicide.

The incident thrusts Jhumur into the brutal realities of urban womanhood, forcing her to confront fear, prejudice, and systemic failures. Her journey draws parallels to an earlier chapter of her life, where she once fought off a man-eating jackal in her village—a symbolic reminder of how danger assumes different forms, yet courage remains constant.

As Jhumur battles trauma and societal barriers, the film becomes a fierce commentary on gender-based violence, inequality, and the fragile state of women’s safety across environments. Anchored by strong performances from John Bhattacharya, Shaheb Chattopadhyay, Kharaj Mukherjee, Rajesh Sharma, and Laboni Sarkar, Jhumur stands as a poignant tale of strength, identity, and survival.
