चरक: आस्था का मेला

Set in a remote village in eastern India during the annual Charak Mela, two schoolchildren go missing during the festival. As one body is discovered and another child remains unfound, fear grips the community and questions about the ritual's darker demands come to the surface.

Bishakh Jyoti composed both the background score and the two songs, rooting the music in Bengali folk tradition. Shankar Mahadevan's contribution on 'Jogi Mera Sach' gives the film a transcendent devotional anchor amid its darker thriller elements.

Produced by Sudipto Sen (The Kerala Story), the film drew attention for its unflinching portrayal of hook-swinging rituals and the violence sometimes committed in religious fervour.
