Raja Kar
Raja Kar’s film journey is a wild little ride, honestly. You probably caught the buzz around “Selfiee” (2023)—yeah, that one where the lines between reality and social media just get totally blurred. It’s not your basic selfie-stick comedy, it digs into this whole obsession with online validation and how it can twist your head around, sometimes in hilarious ways, sometimes not so much. Kar doesn’t pull punches, and you gotta respect that.
Then there’s “Bijoyar Pore” (2024). It’s a bit heavier, for sure. The movie dives into the aftermath of victory—like, what happens when the celebrations stop and you’re left with real life staring you down. Characters stumble through guilt, pride, maybe even regret—typical Raja Kar, mixing up emotions and making you question if winning is all it’s cracked up to be. The vibe is less glitzy, more raw, but totally gripping. People went in expecting a pat ending, and came out with a lot to chew on.
Now, “Pataligunjer Putul Khela” (2025) is wrapped in a different kind of mystery. Kar takes this surreal, almost dreamlike approach—think puppets, shadows, old secrets. The storytelling is layered, sometimes confusing, but that’s the point. It’s about digging under the surface, facing whatever’s lurking down there in the dark corners of a small town. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you like your movies with a side of weird, this one’s got it. Raja Kar doesn’t make boring films, that’s for sure.
