Avijatrik

Avijatrik is a 2021 Bengali-language drama film, written and directed by Subhrajit Mitra and produced by Gaurang Jalan, co-produced by Madhur Bhandarkar.

Avijatrik is essentially the story of a journey depicting Apu's ardor to be a globetrotter, to experience the outside world and immerse himself in myriad layers of life.

The story revolves around a sublime bond between a father (Apu) and his 6-year-old son (Kajol) – wherein both are dependent on each other – heaping lavish affection and love for each other.

The film has explored the beautiful tapestry of pure interpersonal relationships to recreate the magic of Apu– sharing adventures with his beloved son, Kajol.

This journey creates an unfading and everlasting mark in Apu's heart as he chances upon his childhood sweetheart Leela, an astounding beauty whom he accidentally meets after ages.

He soon returns to Calcutta for some time but suddenly falls ill. Young Kajol nurses his ailing father with utmost love and care.

On the other hand, the ramifications of World War II and the armed freedom movements in India have also created havoc and precariousness in the streets of Calcutta.

Before leaving his motherland Apu takes Kajol to his ancestral home at Nischindipur, for the very last time to revive and relive his childhood memories.

Yearning for more adventure, he finally bids farewell to his village, his city, his motherland and embarks on a spirited journey with Shankar and Kajol on some unknown terrains in search of new beginnings in a faraway land.
