Bagha Jatin (2023 film)
Bagha Jatin is a 2023 Indian Bengali biographical action-drama film directed by Arun Roy, who co-wrote the script with Sounava Bose. It is produced by Dev and Gurupada Adhikari under Dev Entertainment Ventures. The movie stars Dev as Bagha Jatin, with Sreeja Dutta, Sudipta Chakraborty, Shoaib Kabeer, Rohaan Bhattacharjee, Carl A. Harte and Alexandra Taylor in important roles. The film tells the life story of Bagha Jatin, a freedom fighter from the Jugantar group, and includes portrayals of about 92 freedom fighters.
The Bengali release came on 19 October 2023, followed by a Hindi-dubbed release on 20 October. It opened in around 200 screens across India and later aired on Star Jalsha on 23 June 2024 and streamed on Disney+ Hotstar. The soundtrack was composed by Nilayan Chatterjee, with singles released in September and October 2023 and the full album released on 18 October 2023 in both Bengali and Hindi.
Filming took place in Odisha’s Baripada forest and in Kolkata, with some scenes shot in the Birpara forest and a recreated Alipore Jail. Production paused briefly after lead actor Dev injured his eye during an action scene. This film was Arun Roy’s last directing project before his death in January 2025. The movie received generally positive notices for Dev’s performance, the visuals, and the music, though some critics pointed out pacing and editing could have been tighter. It grossed around ₹6.3 crore, with about ₹11.45 lakh earned on the first day in West Bengal and roughly ₹3.25 crore in the first eight days of release.
