First Indian Film Teaser Ever to Light Up Times Square
Talk about making a statement! On August 15, 2025, the teaser for Devi Chowdhurani blazed across the screens of New York’s iconic Times Square. It’s a first for an Indian film, and what a way to announce itself!
The film tells the epic story of India’s first female freedom fighter. Prosenjit Chatterjee plays Bhavani Pathak and Srabanti Chatterjee takes on the powerful title role. If the buzz is anything to go by, we’re in for a treat. The teaser, which dropped online on August 13, is already getting rave reviews for its stunning visuals. The actors’ incredible performances are also being praised.
A Historic Collaboration Between India and the UK
Devi Chowdhurani isn’t just any film; it’s a landmark Indo-UK co-production. It is brought to life by ADited Motion Pictures (from both the USA and India) and LOK Arts Collective (also a UK/India collaboration). It’s actually the first Indian feature film to get the official nod of approval as a co-production from both the Indian and UK governments. That’s a big deal! The project has also received support from some key Indian organizations. These include the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, NFDC, Film Facilitation Office, and Invest India.
Visionary Direction Meets Global Musical Genius
The film is in the hands of National Award-winning director Subhrajit Mitra, who’s known for weaving historical depth with cinematic flair. And to top it off, the music is being composed by the world-renowned Pandit Bickram Ghosh, adding a truly global sound to the film.
Producers Excited to Share India’s Story with the World
Producers Aparna and Aniruddha Dasgupta and Soumyajit Majumdar are clearly passionate about this project. They shared:
“This is more than just a film—it’s India’s history at the world’s cultural crossroads. It’s a story rooted in Bengal, but with a message that everyone can connect with.”
The Cast Expresses Their Pride
Prosenjit Chatterjee is clearly honored to be a part of this film, saying:
“On Independence Day, our story of the first freedom rebellion lit up Times Square. This is our tribute to India’s courage. The world will see it this Puja. Bande Mataram.”
Srabanti Chatterjee echoed that sentiment, adding:
“It’s an honour to see our film shine on Times Square billboards. This is part of our forgotten history.”
Bringing the Sanyasi-Fakir Rebellion to Life
Devi Chowdhurani promises to bring the Sanyasi-Fakir Rebellion to the big screen. It’s a powerful story of resistance born in the heart of Bengal. Its debut in Times Square is a fantastic blend of history and global recognition.
