What happens

Haami is a 2018 Bengali film directed by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee. The movie is produced by Windows and was distributed regionally by the same. Haami is a tale of two friends, Bhutu and Chini, who come from entirely different backgrounds. Before Haami, Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee came up with Ramdhanu which also dealt with the story of harried parents and what they go through in order to put their children in good schools. Haami could well be considered as a spiritual sequel to this, where Laltu and Mitali's characters are played by the same cast i.e. Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Gargi Roy Chowdhury. As per the figures provided by trade magazine, Film Companion, it was the highest grosser in Bengali cinema in 2018. The Malayalam rights of the movie was acquired by Rajesh Nair, who made Salt Mango Tree, based on the same film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
