Director Shiboprasad Mukherjee said his upcoming film 'Alik Sukh' is a multi-layered film and deals with the personal and professional dilemmas surrounding a doctor's life.
"The film talks about the existence of the evil side in our lives dominated by good. But the film essentially deals with doctors and that they have a human side, they want to unwind and take a break from stressful lives. That is the leitmotif of the story," Shiboprosad told PTI.
Alik Sukh boasts of a powerful star cast including Rituparna Sengupta, Debshankar Halder, Sohini Sengupta and Soumitra Chatterjee.
"The character of the female protagonist in the movie Rambhali has two aspects - good and evil, which has been portrayed by Rituparna Sengupta, who is sharing screen space with another national award winner Sohini Sengupta after 12 years," Shiboprasad said.
"Rituparna's character, who plays the wife of the surgeon in the movie says something which is again opposed by Sohini's character Kabita, the alter ego existing in Rambhali's sub-conscious mind," the director added.
Reliving her student days at Lady Brabourne College among the medical college interns of R G Kar Medical College and Hopital, actor Rituparna said, "Bringing the film on doctors among the members of medical fraternity, is in other words reel merging with real."
Rituparna said adding 'Alik Sukh' seeks to bring up some issues before the public but in a non-preachy way.
"We have sought to show there is a human side to doctors like any other person, and they also need to unwind and take a break from their stressful lives," the music director Anindyo Chattopadhyay of Chandrabindoo fame, said adding the theme song MBBS was actually penned by a doctor of North Bengal Medical College in 1989.
'Alik Sukh' will be released on July 19.
