The Storyteller OTT Release Update: This upcoming heartwarming narrative headlined by Paresh Rawal is inspired by one of Satyajit Ray’s most acclaimed short stories. The film will explore themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the transformative power of storytelling. Directed by Ananth Mahadevan, The Storyteller will be streaming on Disney+ Hotstar starting January 28, 2025.
The Storyteller’s premise
The wholesome movie takes viewers on an emotional journey, inspired by Satyajit Ray’s Golpo Boliye Tarini Khuro. The plot features Paresh playing a man named Tarini Khuro, an elderly and eccentric character who is known for his storytelling. He has a reputation in his village for spinning grand tales, some of which seem exaggerated or fantastical. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that there is a deeper layer to his storytelling abilities.
In the story, Tarini Khuro is not just a teller of stories, but a man who uses his craft to bring people together and make them think. He often shares tales of adventure, mystery, and fantasy, but his stories also carry important life lessons. The film adaptation, The Storyteller, explores these themes in a contemporary setting, paying homage to Ray’s original work.
The Storyteller’s cast and crew
Other than Paresh, the film also stars Adil Hussain, Revathy and Tannishtha Chatterjee among others. Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Salil Chaturvedi, Succhanda Chatterjee, and Shubha Shetty, The Storyteller is backed by Jio Studios, Purpose Entertainment, and Quest Films. The music composed by Hriju Roy is to look out for.
The Storyteller’s awards and recognitions
Before its OTT release, The Storyteller has already received significant attention at several renowned film festivals. It was featured at the International Film Festival in 2022, the Palm Springs International Film Festival in 2023, Busan International Film Festival in 2022. In addition to these prestigious appearances, the film won Best Indian Feature Film at the Melbourne International Film Festival in 2023.
