Film Synopsis

Jatra Pala' documents Bengal's beloved folk theatre tradition as it faces the threat of extinction in the digital age. Veterans recall lantern-lit nights of cultural glory, while a new wave of practitioners - led by Kakoli Chowdhury, Anal Chakraborty, and emerging talents, continues to resist digital dominance. Capturing the resilience, spirit, and enduring soulfulness of an art form considered the root of all Indian theatrical traditions, the film is a heartfelt portrait of a living heritage in struggle.
