Bengali cinema just got its biggest hit of the year—and it comes wrapped in emotion, nostalgia, and the powerful return of a legend. Rakhee Gulzar’s heartfelt comeback film Aamar Boss has taken the box office by storm, recording a stellar 1.10 crore collection over its opening weekend, making it the biggest Bengali opener of 2025 so far.
Released in theatres on May 9, the film has struck a deep emotional chord with audiences, drawing them into theatres with its warmth, poignancy, and powerful performances. Alongside Rakhee, Shiboprosad Mukherjee delivers a moving turn, and together, they’ve helped the film achieve what few non-holiday releases manage: packed theatres, loud applause, and standing ovations.
This triumph is especially significant given the current climate, where many production houses are pivoting to OTT platforms amidst global tensions and a shifting entertainment landscape. Yet, Aamar Boss proves that some stories are meant for the big screen. Directors Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee summed it up perfectly: “Every story finds its right platform. Films like Aamar Boss thrive on the collective laughter, tears, and warmth of a theatre. We’re deeply grateful that audiences chose to embrace this journey on the big screen.”
More than just a box office success, Aamar Boss is a reminder of cinema’s enduring magic—of how stories told from the heart still have the power to bring people together. With this emotional triumph, Rakhee’s return feels less like a comeback and more like a homecoming—one that the audience was clearly waiting for.
