Dabaru teaser shows the gritty fight of a young passionate chess lover

Dabaru, a biopic of Grandmaster Surya Sekhar Ganguly, is all set to hit the theatre in May. The teaser of the film, which is said to be the first Indian film on chess, was dropped on Friday.

The teaser opens with Dipankar Dey saying, “Chess is known as the kings’ game.” Dabaru tells the story of how an ordinary North Kolkata boy became the Grandmaster in this game. Middle-class parents are generally scared at the prospect of their kids taking chess as their profession since it is a low-profile game. Besides, there are insults and harassment, and other obstacles. The teaser shows how Surya Sekhar won these hurdles and became a Grandmaster at a young age. 

The audience showered love on the teaser. A person wrote, “The last dialogue strikes my heart.” Another person wrote ‘Waiting with great anticipation’. 

Arghya Basu Roy, who played Posto in Windows Production’s hit film Posto, is playing the protagonist in Dabaru. Rituparna Sengupta will play his mother. Kaushik Sen, Chiranjit Chakraborty, and Dipankar De will play other roles. 

The film is directed by Pathikrit Basu and produced by Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy’s Windows Productions. The film will be released on May 10.
