The story of Amazon Obhijaan written, scripted and directed by the doctor-turned-director Mr. Kamaleswar Mukherjee delves into the deep jungles of the Amazonia.This film has also been dubbed into 5 other Indian languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Oriya and Assamese.

Candid Communication (UK), the Marketing and Distribution partner for SVF Entertainment in UK, will release Bangla Films in a theatrical format in UK on a regular basis throughout the year.

The expedition led by the Bengali cine-star Dev playing the explorer Shankar Choudhury is touted as a visual treat to watch for families specially children who love adventure. Veteran Brazilian actor David James plays the role of Marco Florian and Indian based Russian actress Svetlana Gulakova plays Marco’s daughter Anna Florian who joins Shankar to the mysterious yet endearing journey to El Dorado.

Recently the film set a world record by unveiling the biggest poster for a Bengali film ever pegged at 60,800 sq ft in size cover to cover. The film is also available in the graphic novel format for children to get a feel of the story. This film is the only Bengali movie ever made to be released simultaneously in six languages – Bengali, Hindi, Odia, Assamese, Tamil & Telugu in India.

Mr. Mahendra Soni, Director/Co-Founder of SVF is very confident and optimistic about the release of the film and goes on to say that – ‘A film like this comes once in a lifetime and we have invested very heavily on the production and visual effects to deliver a world class product to the Bengali audiences. We are so confident of the film that we have decided to hold simultaneous release of the film in 5 other languages besides Bengali and am sure people will love every part of the film’.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Sayantan Das Adhikari, Director, Candid Communication (UK) said, “We have signed up with SVF entertainment to release Bangla movies in UK on a regular basis from now onwards.

Along with Indian Bengalis, we are expecting a huge number of Bangladeshis to come and watch this film. Candid has also lined up Meghnadbodh Rahosyo and Mayurakshi for a later release in UK. Meghnadbodh Rahosyo is likely to be released on 26th January and Mayurakshi in February”.
