The trailer of the upcoming series Thakumar Jhuli was unveiled on Friday, offering a glimpse into a mystery that blends suspense with an emotional family dynamic.
The series stars Srabanti Chatterjee as Girijabala Sanyal, a sharp-witted widow in her mid-60s who lives alone in Bishnupur after the loss of her husband and son and years of estrangement from her family. Known in her neighbourhood for her keen observation skills and instinct for solving everyday mysteries, her quiet life changes when her estranged granddaughter Jaggaseni suddenly returns from abroad.
Played by Divyani Mondal, Jaggaseni arrives to attend the wedding of her friend Amrapali, a member of the influential Singha political family. What begins as a joyous celebration soon spirals into a disturbing mystery, drawing the grandmother-granddaughter duo into an unexpected investigation.
Speaking about her role, Chatterjee said, “Girijabala is a fascinating character — sharp, intuitive and quietly fearless. What I loved most about the story is how it brings together suspense with a deeply emotional relationship between a grandmother and her granddaughter.”
Mondal added, “Jaggaseni is determined and strong-minded, and her journey through the investigation is both intense and emotional. The dynamic between the two characters really drives the narrative forward.”
Directed by Ayan Chakraborti and written by Samragnee Bandyopadhyay, the series also features Rahul Arunoday Banerjee as police officer Brihaspati Mallick and Debraj Bhattacharya as reporter Bedobroto Chakraborty.
Thakumar Jhuli is set to premiere on March 20 in Hoichoi.
