Birsa Dasgupta’s next movie is 033. The movie is set to be released after the Pujas.
“It is a story of a city band 033 and how they are gradually identify with the soul of Kolkata through their struggle,” said Birsa. 
 
There’s more to Kolkata and Tollywood than shopping malls, iphones and branded clothes. Scratch the surface of the movie, and it turns out that it’s also the STD code for the city.
 
“The history of band music dates back to Moheener Ghoraguli of the 70s. Since then it has been a long journey to todays Chandrabindoo, Bhoomi, Lokkhichara, Fossils and other bands. My film is a tribute to all of them who have enriched the history of Bengali band music,” said the director. 
 
The film is the story of Mrinalini, a girl from Philadelphia comes to Kolkata for the first time. After meeting the band 033, she expresses her desire to make a video on their famous song 033, an early song that was popular. The film focuses on the ups and downs the band goes though.
 
Director Birsa Dasgupta has already earned his fame directing the music video Arey ruk ja re bandey in Black Friday.
 
“The way Kolkata has been presented in the movie is, I suppose, very unique. It is both the problems that impede our way and also the way we live and love, overcoming all hassles.”
Members from all leading city bands will be there while Debojyoti Mishra will direct the music. Lyrics by Srijato are of course there to add to the USP of the movie.  
 
The cast includes the new faces of the recent hits. Though nothing has been finalised yet Shayan Munsi of The Bong Connection fame is thought for the role of Shom and Raima for Mrinalini. Rupam Islam, Rudrannel, Dhruv, Sabyasachi Chakravarty and Parno Mitra will essay the other roles of the band members. Supriya Devi too will be seen to play a major role.
