Charak
Charak: Fair of Faith, directed by Shieladitya Moulik and produced by Sudipto Sen, attempts to shine a light on the darker side of superstition and blind belief. Set in a small village preparing for the annual Charak festival, the film slowly builds a tense atmosphere where faith, fear, and desperation begin to blur the line between devotion and danger.
The story begins with the shocking death of a young boy just days before the Charak fair. What first appears to be a tragic incident soon starts raising troubling questions. As the investigation unfolds, whispers begin to spread through the village about a disturbing belief, that childless couples can be blessed with a child through ritual sacrifice carried out with the help of occult practitioners. Whether this horrifying belief is connected to the boy’s death becomes the central mystery that drives the narrative forward.
