Running Time: 30-47 minutes

Writer & Director: Pratim D. Gupta

Cast: Shantanu Maheshwari, Tanya Maniktala, Tillotama Home, Sikandar Kher, Saswata Chatterjee, Revathi, Adil Hussain

It's a vampire-human love story wherein a rebellious lady vampire with a damaged tooth and underground abode falls in love with a shy dentist on the streets of Kolkata, something which is a strict no-no!! 

Presence of a vampire slayer witch and her team of Cutmundoos add on to the complexity. 

Full Marks For:

... Originality and intelligent desification of foreign mythology. 

... Applaud worthy cinematography of old Kolkata lanes and houses. 

... Good acting by the entire cast, but Adil Hussain, Tillotama Shome and Sikandar Kher simply outshine everyone.

The lead pair Tanya Maniktala and Shantanu Maheshwari share good chemistry and strong onscreen presence. 

Question Mark For:

... No clarification of hero or villain. No moral message at the end of it all !! 

Do watch it !!
