Based on real events that took place in 1971-1984, The Senapatis Vol-1 follows the journey of a refugee family from erstwhile East Pakistan who travels to Kolkata, India, only to become the country's leading underworld force of the time.
Spanning four episodes of approximately 45 minutes each, The Senapatis Vol-1 is the first installment of a highly ambitious web series currently streaming on the Bengali web channel Addatimes. Written and directed by Riingo Banerjee, the series is a dramatic take on the real life events that defined the turbulent political climate of Bengal, India from 1971 to 1984. The series primarily focuses on the trajectory of a refugee family from erstwhile East Pakistan who migrates to Kolkata, India and subsequently, rises from the ashes to become the fearsome Senapatis - the first gang-lords of Bengal.—ChandniA
