Dracula Sir is a 2020 Indian Bengali language, neo noir psychological thriller, non-linear[2] structured film directed by Debaloy Bhattacharya and produced by Shrikant Mohata and Mahendra Soni under the banner of SVF.[3] The film starring Anirban Bhattacharya, Mimi Chakraborty, Bidipta Chakraborty, Rudranil Ghosh, Samiul Alam, Kanchan Mullick, Supriyo Dutta follows the story of a school teacher with a protruding pair of canine teeth, called "Dracula Sir". The film was based on a school teacher who was a Naxalite in his past life.[4]
The film was released in theatres on 21 October 2020, coinciding with Puja holidays.[1][5] The film was initially scheduled to release on 1 May 2020, but was postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7] Upon release, Dracula Sir received positive to mixed reviews.[8] Critics praised the performances (Anirban Bhattacharya), the music, costume and makeup, but found the screenplay flawed.[9] The non-linear structured film is based around the story of a revolutionary during the Naxalbari revolution. It was a CPIML party based revolutionary movement around West Bengal which is still going on until 1970's.[2]
