Daktar Kaku Teaser Explores Medicine, Ethics And Family
Daktar Kaku is a film about a doctor and his family.
Prosenjit Chatterjee plays Dr Dilip Saha, a doctor who believes medicine should mainly help people.
His son sees the medical world differently and is interested in private healthcare.
This creates disagreements between the father and son.
The film also includes a foster boy whom Dilip helps enter the medical profession.
The story asks whether healthcare should be about service or business.
Prosenjit said medicine is familiar to him because several members of his family were doctors.
Enaa Saha said working on the film showed her how much effort goes into making a movie.
The film took nearly four years to make and will be released in theatres on September 18.
The teaser for Pavel’s medical-family drama Daktar Kaku was launched at Top Cat CCU in Offbeat CCU on Raksha Bandhan.
Prosenjit Chatterjee plays Dr Dilip Saha, an idealistic general physician committed to medical ethics.
The story centers on conflict between Dilip and his son, who is drawn toward private healthcare.
A foster boy whom Dilip helps enter medicine adds another layer to the family story.
Produced by Banani Saha and Enaa Saha, the film is scheduled for theatrical release on September 18.
