Orko’s CC1 Celebrates Bengal’s Culinary Diversity with ‘Radhunir Diary – Micro Cuisines of Bengal’

Celebrating the extraordinary diversity of Bengal’s culinary heritage, Orko’s CC1 presents ‘Radhunir Diary – Micro Cuisines of Bengal’, a specially curated food festival that will be held from 23rd August to 14th September 2026. Inspired by the belief that Bengal is much more than its familiar staples, the festival explores the state’s lesser-known regional cuisines, taking diners on a flavourful journey through the culinary traditions of Rarh, the Sundarbans, Kayastha, Santhal and Bangal communities.

Speaking about the festival, Kaushik Sengupta, Corporate General Manager, Sens Hospitality Division, said, “Bengal’s food heritage is incredibly layered, yet many of its regional cuisines remain unexplored. Through ‘Radhunir Diary’, we wanted to celebrate these lesser-known culinary traditions and showcase how geography, culture and community have shaped the state’s remarkable food legacy. We hope our guests discover a new side of Bengal through every dish.”

Curated by Executive Chef Makhan Chandra Parya, the festival menu brings together an array of authentic regional specialities, including Murshidabadi Murgh Dum Biryani, Chicken Chaanp, Prawn Malai Curry, Machher Kalia, Bhuna Khasir Mangsho, Dim Shorshey, Hash Er Mangsho Kosha, Bamboo Chicken, Pabda Shorshe, Begun Posto and several other traditional delicacies that celebrate Bengal’s diverse culinary traditions.

With thoughtfully recreated regional recipes and authentic flavours, ‘Radhunir Diary – Micro Cuisines of Bengal’ promises a memorable gastronomic experience, inviting diners to rediscover the many kitchens, communities and stories that make Bengal’s cuisine truly unique.

দুর্গাপুর আন্তর্জাতিক চলচ্চিত্র উৎসবে নজর কাড়াছবি “It’s Not Aesop’s Fable’ (এটা ঈসপের গল্প নয়)

কলকাতা:
ইটস নট এইসপস ফেবল’—সাদা-কালোর মাঝখানে মনস্তাত্ত্বিক রহস্যের গল্প
একাকীত্ব, মানসিক দ্বন্দ্ব এবং বাস্তবতার ধূসর সীমারেখাকে কেন্দ্র করে তৈরি হয়েছে নতুন মনস্তাত্ত্বিক ড্রামা ছবি ‘It’s Not Aesop’s Fable’ (এটা ঈসপের গল্প নয়)। ছবিটির পরিচালক ড. মেধাতিথি বর্মন।
ছবির গল্পের কেন্দ্রে রয়েছে এক নিঃসঙ্গ মানুষ, যাকে অচেতন অবস্থায় উদ্ধার করা হয়। জ্ঞান ফেরার পর সে দাবি করে, নিজের বাড়ির ভিতরেই সে তিনটি মৃতদেহ দেখেছে। বিষয়টি নিয়ে যখন এক সহৃদয় চিকিৎসক তাকে প্রশ্ন করতে শুরু করেন, তখন ধীরে ধীরে উন্মোচিত হতে থাকে একের পর এক রহস্য। গল্প যত এগোয়, ততই দর্শকের সামনে বাস্তবতা এবং মানসিক বিভ্রমের মধ্যে তৈরি হয় গভীর দ্বন্দ্ব।
ছবির কাহিনি দর্শককে এমন এক জটিল মনস্তাত্ত্বিক জগতে নিয়ে যায়, যেখানে সত্য ও মিথ্যা, বাস্তব ও কল্পনা কিংবা ‘সাদা’ ও ‘কালো’-এর মধ্যে স্পষ্ট সীমারেখা খুঁজে পাওয়া কঠিন। একের পর এক স্তর উন্মোচনের সঙ্গে গল্পে আসে চমকপ্রদ মোড়। শেষ পর্যন্ত দর্শকের কাছেই প্রশ্ন ছুড়ে দেয় ছবি—আপনি কোন পক্ষের সত্যকে বিশ্বাস করবেন?
ছবিতে অভিনয় করেছেন তপন কুমার আদিত্য, ড. অর্ণব মৌলিক, ড. নীপামঞ্জরি বর্মন, সৌম্যদীপ সরকার, প্রদীপ যশ, সুকুমার সরকার, ড. জয়িতা সাহা এবং বিধান বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়।
ছবিটির প্রযোজনায় রয়েছেন ড. জয়িতা সাহা, ড. নীপামঞ্জরি বর্মন এবং ড. ঝর্ণা বর্মন। কণ্ঠ দিয়েছেন অমৃতা ভট্টাচার্য। সম্পাদনা ও কালার গ্রেডিংয়ের দায়িত্বে দীপঙ্কর দত্ত মজুমদার। ছবির সঙ্গীত পরিচালনায় কবীর আহমেদ রাজু ও রাজেশ মুন্সি।
চিত্রগ্রহণ করেছেন অশ্বিনী, সুমন মুখোপাধ্যায় এবং ড. মেধাতিথি বর্মন। ভিডিও ও কালার এনহ্যান্সমেন্টের দায়িত্বে রয়েছেন ড. তপোজ্যোতি দাস।
প্রচলিত গল্প বলার ধরন থেকে সরে এসে মানুষের মন, উপলব্ধি এবং সত্যের বহুমাত্রিকতাকে সামনে আনার চেষ্টা করেছে ‘It’s Not Aesop’s Fable’। রহস্য ও মনস্তাত্ত্বিক টানাপোড়েনের পাশাপাশি দর্শকের চিন্তাভাবনাকেও প্রশ্নের মুখে দাঁড় করিয়ে দেওয়াই এই ছবির অন্যতম বৈশিষ্ট্য।

গাজন ও চরককে ঘিরে বাংলার প্রাচীন লোকঐতিহ্য, তার ইতিহাস, সামাজিক বিবর্তন এবং প্রান্তিক মানুষের জীবন ও বিশ্বাসকে নথিবদ্ধ করার প্রয়াস এই তথ্যচিত্র। হারিয়ে যেতে বসা এই লোকসংস্কৃতিকে আগামী প্রজন্মের জন্য সংরক্ষণ করাই ছবিটির অন্যতম উদ্দেশ্য।

ছবিটি দেশ-বিদেশের একাধিক চলচ্চিত্র উৎসবে প্রশংসা ও স্বীকৃতি পেয়েছে, যার মধ্যে BERLIN ARFF ও রয়েছে। তবে কলকাতার Nandan-এর পর্দায় প্রদর্শন এবং DIFF-এর First Runner-Up সম্মান Debut Director Ipshita Guha-র কাছে বিশেষ তাৎপর্যপূর্ণ।

SBI General Insurance Launches New Motor Insurance Film Featuring Pankaj Tripathi

SBI General Insurance Launches New Motor Insurance Film Featuring Pankaj Tripathi

August 2026: SBI General Insurance, one of India’s leading general insurance companies, has unveiled the next chapter of its integrated brand campaign, ‘Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’, with a new film centered on Motor Insurance. Featuring actor and brand ambassador Pankaj Tripathi, the campaign continues to bring alive SBI General’s core message of trust by highlighting the importance of choosing an insurance partner with confidence.

The Motor Insurance film carries forward the core thought of ‘Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’, into another important aspect of everyday life. Built around a simple yet relatable insight, the film highlights that just as people are careful about whom they trust with something as valuable as their vehicle, choosing the right motor insurance partner also deserves the same thought and confidence. Through a simple yet engaging narrative, the film encourages consumers to look beyond just a product and choose a partner who stands by them when it matters.

For most customers, buying a vehicle is a carefully considered decision, yet motor insurance is often treated as a routine purchase. Through the motor film, SBI General Insurance encourages consumers to make informed choices by looking beyond the policy and choosing a partner they can trust. Reinforcing its commitment to making insurance simpler, more accessible and more relevant, the company continues to deliver protection backed by trust and support when it matters most.

Commenting on the campaign, Mr. Naveen Chandra Jha, MD & CEO, SBI General Insurance, said, “Insurance is built on the confidence customers have in the partner they choose. As vehicles become an integral part of everyday life, customers are looking for protection that is simple, transparent and dependable. Through the Motor Insurance chapter of ‘Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’, we continue our commitment to making insurance more relevant while delivering the support customers need throughout their ownership journey.”

Adding to it, Mr. Rathin Lahiri, Head – Marketing & CSR, SBI General Insurance, said , “At the heart of this campaign is a simple idea: A car is an achievement, its private space, self-expression, gives independence and control, and is one of the most valuable assets one owns. When it comes to protecting something so valuable to you, why would you take a chance? It is better to go with the most trusted brand with its wide network of garages and documented claims support experience. Pankaj Tripathi’s natural warmth and authenticity make this message resonate effortlessly across audiences. Through this campaign, we hope to encourage customers to view motor insurance not just as a policy, but provide assurance of having a dependable partner by their side.”

Known for his relatable screen presence and effortless storytelling, Pankaj Tripathi continues to embody the values of trust, simplicity and dependability that define the ‘Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’ campaign. His natural connection with audiences across geographies and demographics makes him an ideal ambassador for SBI General Insurance’s customer-first philosophy.

The campaign will be amplified across a wide range of platforms including television, print, outdoor, OTT, and digital channels, allowing SBI General to connect with consumers through multiple formats and touchpoints.

Supporting the campaign is SBI General Insurance’s comprehensive motor insurance proposition, designed to make vehicle ownership simpler and more secure. Backed by an extensive network of over 8,400+ network garages, cashless repair facilities, faster approvals and a transparent claims process, the company continues to enhance the overall customer experience while helping vehicle owners stay protected against unexpected situations with greater confidence.
