Raima Sen recently expressed her wish to remake Deep Jwele Jaai, a classic Bengali film originally starring her grandmother, the legendary actress Suchitra Sen. Released in 1959, Deep Jwele Jaai is one of Suchitra Sen’s most celebrated films and is still cherished by audiences today. The film tells the story of a nurse who becomes emotionally involved with her patients while trying to cure their mental illnesses, leading to a complex and tragic narrative.
Raima believes that a remake could introduce this timeless story to a new generation, allowing younger viewers to experience the magic of her grandmother’s work. According to Raima, modernizing the film could help keep Suchitra Sen’s legacy alive while also exploring the rich storytelling that Bengali cinema is known for. She shared that she would love to play her grandmother’s character in the remake, feeling a strong connection to the role and the film’s themes.
Remakes of classic films are often challenging, especially when the original is so beloved, but Raima is hopeful that a fresh adaptation would honor her grandmother’s memory while bringing the story to today’s audiences. Fans of both Raima and Suchitra Sen are excited to see if this dream project will come to life in the future.
