Charak is directed by Shieladitya Moulik and draws inspiration from Bengal’s traditional Charak Puja rituals. Positioned as a folklore-based horror film, the story explores the blurred lines between faith, devotion, and death, offering a disturbing and thought-provoking take on ritualistic belief systems. Early glimpses suggest the film leans heavily into atmospheric storytelling rather than conventional jump scares.
The project brings together a strong creative team, with Rajesh Bhatt on board as associate producer and Amarnath Jha serving as creative director. The script and dialogues are penned by Farauq Malik, promising layered writing that delves deep into social and psychological themes. The film is being backed under the banners of Sudipto Sen Productions and Sipping Tea Cinemas.
The teaser for Charak has already sparked intense discussion online, featuring eerie red-toned visuals, ritualistic piercings, and unsettling demonic imagery. The haunting aesthetic builds on Sudipto Sen’s reputation for socially provocative storytelling, a reputation cemented by The Kerala Story, which crossed 300 crore at the box office despite widespread debate around its subject matter.
Adding to the buzz, Charak reportedly received early attention at festival screenings including Berlin 2025 and Ganges Sur Seine, where it was praised for its chilling atmosphere and thematic boldness. However, much like Sen’s previous work, audience reactions remain divided, ensuring that Charak – Fair of Faith will be one of the most talked-about Indian films leading into 2026.
