## Background: the 2024 original
The sequel builds on *Bohurupi* (2024), a vigilante heist thriller inspired by real events between 1998 and 2005 in Raipur, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, in which Bikram, a jute mill worker falsely accused of murder, learns bank robbery in prison and carries out heists in disguise while evading SI Sumanta Ghoshal, played by [Abir Chatterjee](https://www.edgepedia.org/abir-chatterjee).[7](https://www.zee5.com/movies/details/bohurupi/0-0-1z5734856) The directors said the germ of the idea came in 2012, when a man visited their office and said he had robbed 27 banks in five years and wanted his story told; the first film was shot across 84 locations with a budget of around ₹50 million (₹5 crore).[8](https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/filmmakers-nandita-roy-and-shiboprosad-mukherjee-talk-about-the-genesis-of-their-new-film-bohurupi/cid/2054274)
The first film became a commercial landmark. It crossed ₹172.5 million (₹17.25 crore) in revenue after 68 days of screening, and an industry body official called it the biggest blockbuster in the state; it completed its 75th day at the box office on 19 December 2024.[6](https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/bengali-film-bohurupi-has-crossed-rs-17-25-crore-of-revenue-at-the-box-office/cid/2072294) Reviewers credited its rooted Bengali folk culture, chase sequences, and music, and it drew audiences in cities outside Bengal such as [Hyderabad](https://www.edgepedia.org/hyderabad), Delhi, and Chennai.[9](https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/amp/story/features/interviews/how-bohurupi-became-one-of-the-highest-grossing-bengali-films-of-all-time)
## Production of the sequel
**Scale.** Shiboprosad Mukherjee described the sequel as a significant escalation in scope: the production spanned 96 locations and involved nearly 2,500 artists across West Bengal, with locations including Hasnabad, Taki, Barasat, Bardhaman, Bolpur, Bishnupur, and Malda.[3](https://www.nationpress.com/all/bohurupi-sequel-96-locations-2500-artists) Koushani Mukherjee said the script was written over two years, filming took 45 days at the 96 locations, and post-production ran five months.[5](https://varietyindia.com/koushani-mukherjee-on-bohurupi-2-and-playing-chandramukhi-in-emperor-vs-sarat-chandra-exclusive/) The schedule was derailed by the election calendar and the May heat before the team completed it.[3](https://www.nationpress.com/all/bohurupi-sequel-96-locations-2500-artists)
**Folk culture.** For the first time in the franchise, [Gambhira](https://www.edgepedia.org/gambhira) folk artists from Malda appear on screen, a choice the makers present as adding cultural depth to a series built around the *bohurupi* tradition of quick-change folk performance.[3](https://www.nationpress.com/all/bohurupi-sequel-96-locations-2500-artists) • [9](https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/amp/story/features/interviews/how-bohurupi-became-one-of-the-highest-grossing-bengali-films-of-all-time) The release also marks the 25th anniversary of Windows Production.[3](https://www.nationpress.com/all/bohurupi-sequel-96-locations-2500-artists)
**Music.** The score and songs are credited to [Anupam Roy](https://www.edgepedia.org/anupam-roy), Bonnie Chakraborty, Arnab Dutta, Shilajit Majumdar, and Nani Chora Das Baul, with Animesh Ghorui as cinematographer and Malay Laha as editor.[1](https://www.gadgets360.com/entertainment/bohurupi-the-golden-daku-movie-137333) Junglee Music, a division of Times Music, released "Phool Phutechhe" as the first song, featuring Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Koushani Mukherjee.[10](https://www.femina.in/beauty-pageants/others/junglee-music-and-windows-production-reunite-as-bohurupi-the-golden-daku-begins-its-musical-journey-with-phool-phutechhe/amp_articleshow/156001959.cms)
## Release and reception
The film opened on 15 October 2026 for Durga Puja, one of four Bengali festival releases that season alongside *DeSu7*, *The Eken: Kerala-e Kurukshetra*, and *[Emperor vs Sarat Chandra](https://www.edgepedia.org/emperor-vs-sarat-chandra)*.[1](https://www.gadgets360.com/entertainment/bohurupi-the-golden-daku-movie-137333) • [11](https://bengalimoviereviews.com/articles/best-bengali-movie-durga-puja-2026-reviews-comparison/) The Numbers lists a limited international release in India on 15 October 2026 and a limited United States release on 23 October 2026 handled by Prathyangira Cinemas.[12](https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Bohurupi-The-Golden-Daku-%282026-India%29)
**Critical response.** The Times of India review gave 3.5 out of 5, describing a familiar chase wrapped in family drama, humor, and social observation, and singled out Rajatabha Dutta's subplot and the comic interludes.[13](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movie-reviews/bohurupi-the-golden-daku/movie-review/135012391.cms) The Telegraph's review was more reserved, arguing that between the clever plotting and dramatic confrontations the film loses the emotional connection between characters and audience that made the predecessor effective.[14](https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/shiborprosad-mukherjee-and-nandita-roys-sequel-is-bigger-but-not-quite-better/cid/2185008) An Indulge review found a tight screenplay and a lead performance that carries the film, while noting that Jisshu Sengupta, taking over the police officer role from Abir Chatterjee, works under the shadow of that comparison.[15](https://www.indulgexpress.com/entertainment/cinema/2026/Oct/15/bohurupi-the-golden-daku-review-shiboprasad-mukherjee-steals-the-show) On the Bengali Movie Reviews aggregator, the film's BMR score was reported as 4.3/5 on its comparison page and 4.0/5 in the site's four-film Puja roundup; the two pages were published days apart.[16](https://bengalimoviereviews.com/vs/bohurupi-the-golden-daku-2026-vs-desu7-2026/) • [11](https://bengalimoviereviews.com/articles/best-bengali-movie-durga-puja-2026-reviews-comparison/)
## What has changed since the first film
The sequel's production numbers show how far the franchise has grown. The 2024 original was shot across 84 locations on a budget of about ₹50 million (₹5 crore), which its directors called expensive for a Bengali film;[8](https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/filmmakers-nandita-roy-and-shiboprosad-mukherjee-talk-about-the-genesis-of-their-new-film-bohurupi/cid/2054274) the sequel used 96 locations and roughly 2,500 artists, and its makers describe it as one of Bengali cinema's most ambitious productions.[3](https://www.nationpress.com/all/bohurupi-sequel-96-locations-2500-artists) The casting also changed at the top: Abir Chatterjee's police officer from the first film gives way to Jisshu Sengupta, a transition reviewers treat as the sequel's central acting risk.[15](https://www.indulgexpress.com/entertainment/cinema/2026/Oct/15/bohurupi-the-golden-daku-review-shiboprasad-mukherjee-steals-the-show)
