Rainbow Jelly (Bengali: রেনবো জেলি) is a 2018 Bengali language Indian food fantasy film for children, written and directed by Soukarya Ghosal and starring Sreelekha Mitra, Kaushik Sen, Shantilal Mukherjee and introducing Mahabrata Basu and Anumegha Banerjee. The story revolves around a young boy with marginal IQ whose life changes dramatically when he begins to experience the different expressions of food that fill the taste buds and have varied reactions on people who savour them.[1]

Rainbow Jelly is the first-ever attempt in Food Fantasy Film genres, perhaps India’s first, made in Bengali language. The story of the film is an outcome of Ghosal's two years of research on Taste Theory & Ayurveda. The film won the Best Feature Film for Soukarya Ghosal at Hiralal Sen Award in 2019 from FFSI.[2][3]
