Synopsis : "Dhrubor Aschorjo Jibon" is a cinematic journey that delves deep into the intricacies of human existence, morality, and the profound impact of art on our lives. Structured into four chapters, each imbued with its own thematic resonance, the film weaves together the narrative threads of crime, love, betrayal, and redemption against the backdrop of Bengal's rich artistic heritage. Through the lens of Dhrubo's enigmatic life, we explore the blurred lines between right and wrong, duty and desire, as he navigates a labyrinthine world fraught with moral ambiguity and existential turmoil. Integral to the fabric of the narrative are the works, themes, and philosophies of four prominent Bengali artists : Jamini Roy, Gaganendranath Tagore, Bikash Bhattacharya, and Benode Behari Mukherjee. Their artistic visions serve as both a thematic anchor and a narrative catalyst, guiding Dhrubo and the audience on a transformative journey of self-discovery and introspection.
