Riddhie Basak

Riddhie Basak’s filmography is honestly a pretty wild ride through some of the most interesting corners of Bengali cinema lately. First off, Tangra Blues (2021) – that one throws you straight into the underbelly of Kolkata, with all the chaos and color you’d expect. Basak’s character moves through gritty neighborhoods and music-soaked back alleys, carrying a kind of restless energy that’s hard to shake off. There’s this whole vibe of chasing dreams, finding hope in weird places, and, you know, refusing to give up even when the world keeps handing you lemons. The soundtrack sticks with you, too—don’t be surprised if you catch yourself humming it days later. Then there’s Abhijaan (2022), which goes in a totally different direction. It’s more reflective, almost like a tribute to the legends of Bengali cinema, and Basak manages to bring this subtlety to her performance that’s just… well, it sneaks up on you. It’s not flashy, but it’s heartfelt. You feel like you’re watching a slice of someone’s real life, not just a character. Now, Daagi (2025) is the wildcard in this lineup. Details are still kind of hush-hush, but let’s be real—expectations are high. If Basak’s previous work is anything to go by, she’s probably going to take us somewhere unexpected, maybe even mess with our heads a little. Each of these films shows off a different side of her talent, and honestly, it’s refreshing to see an actor who’s not afraid to mix things up.
