Pooja Banerjee will play a cabaret dancer in Addaimes’ new web series Cabaret | India Blooms

Kolkata/IBNS: Addatimes has unveiled the first look of its period drama, Cabaret, starring Pooja Banerjee, Satyam Bhattacharya, Santhilal Mukherjee and directed by Utsav Mukherjee.

A period drama set in Calcutta and other parts of West Bengal in the 1960s and 1970s.

The unusual love story of cabaret dancer Miss Elina (played by Pooja Banerjee) and Naxalite militant Swarup (Satyam Bhattacharya) is dramatized under contemporary radical politics, social hierarchy, class struggle and human relations.

Cabaret promises to be the emotional journey of a young girl from a remote village to win the crown of Calcutta’s best cabaret dancer.

Actress Pooja Banerjee will be seen playing the role of a cabaret dancer for the first time.

“I always wanted to play a character like Miss Elina. Cabaret is a very beautiful love story. As an actress, you have very few opportunities where the script demands the best.

“Miss Elina has quite a bit of shade, which you’ll soon see when Cabaret comes out,” he said.

“Miss Elina’s journey intersects with various people and situations that not only shape her life, but also determine the courses of those around her.

“It is a story of love, passion, family, emotions, politics, revenge and most importantly different human conditions,” says director Utsav Mukherjee.

Music will be directed by Shibashish Mukherjee.

“Cabaret” will start streaming on Addtimes from January 26.
