Shaheb Bibi Golaam is a Bengali psychological thriller directed by Pratim D. Gupta. It stars Anjan Dutt as a middle-aged Anglo-Indian contract killer, Swastika Mukherjee as a housewife, and Ritwick Chakraborty as a taxi driver who is involved with Parno Mittra’s character; Vikram Chatterjee and Parno Mittra also appear.

Set in a big city, the film follows the intertwined lives of these three people. Gupta says the story is original and not based on Bimal Mitra’s novel Shaheb Bibi Golaam, nor connected to its earlier film adaptations. The script was written by Gupta about five years before production. The movie marked the first collaboration between Gupta and the lead actors; Dutt joined after reading the script, and Mukherjee plays the housewife.

Filming began in November 2014. The music is composed by Anupam Roy, with lyrics by him. Amara Muzik released the music, and the full album came out on 6 August 2016. The film released on 26 August 2016 in India, in Bengali.
