Satyanweshi is a 2013 Bengali mystery-thriller film directed by Rituparno Ghosh and produced by Shrikant Mohta and Mahendra Soni.

[1][2][3] Maharaja Arunangshu, the ruler of a princely state named Balabantpur, had made a wish list on his death bed in the presence of Dewan Chandrashekhar, the family physician Kaligati and the High Priest.

The first condition forbade Himangshu to marry a non-Hindu girl, and the second demanded a legitimate heir within three years of his marriage.

Bound by his father's conditions of succession, Himangshu is compelled to marry Alaka, an aspiring actress.

A year and half into the marriage, Harinath, the young palace librarian, who is friendly with Alaka, disappears without any trace.
