Aamar Boss

Aamar Boss (transl.My Boss) is a 2025 Indian Bengali-language corporate drama film written, produced and directed by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee under the banner of Windows Production. The film stars Rakhee Gulzar, marking her comeback in Bengali cinema after twenty two years, Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Srabanti Chatterjee in lead roles, with Sauraseni Maitra, Aishwarya Sen, Shruti Das and Gourab Chatterjee in supporting roles.

Inspired by real-life corporate day-care initiatives, the story explores themes of inclusive workplaces, intergenerational care, and transformative leadership. The film was announced in December 2023. Principal photography commenced in January 2024 and wrapped by February 2024. Music of the film is composed by Anupam Roy. The cinematography was done by Indranath Marick while Malay Laha handled the editing.

Aamar Boss theatrically released on 9 May 2025, coinciding with Mother's Day. It was selected for screening under the Panorama Section at the 55th International Film Festival of India and 22nd Chennai International Film Festival. The film opened to positive reviews from the audience and critics alike. Grossing over ₹4.84 crore at the box office, it emerged as the one of the highest grossing Bengali film of 2025.

The film follows Animesh, a 40-something owner of a publishing house, who struggles to balance his stressful job and his increasingly strained relationship with his wife, Mousumi. Meanwhile, his mother, Subhra—a retired head nurse recovering from bypass surgery—feels neglected and begins accompanying Animesh to his office. She eventually joins as a part-time proofreader, quickly forming warm connections with the staff.

When Animesh is forced to travel to Mumbai following his father-in-law's death, Subhra implements a unique daycare policy: employees are allowed to bring their elderly parents or in-laws to work. This decision enhances team morale and productivity, but soon raises financial concerns. After an intense confrontation between Subhra and Animesh, other companies recognize the value of the initiative and step in to support it—validating Subhra’s leadership and vision.

Gulzar mentioned in an interview that she liked the script after being narrated for the very first time. She signed the film as the story was relatable to her. She loved the script as the film aptly captures how we are losing connection with our roots and everything has become superficial, technology has taken over relationships and close knitted families have diminished. Nandita Roy said in an interview that she developed the character of Rakhee Gulzar based upon the relationship between Shiboprosad Mukherjee and his mother. The film also marks the acting debut of prominent screenwriters of the Bengali film industry including Tilottama Majumdar, Smaranjit Chakraborty and Pracheta Gupta besides poets like Joy Goswami.

Windows Production announced the film on 4 December 2023. Filming began on 5 January 2024 and was completed by February 2024. The complete filming has been done in Kolkata, while major parts were shot at Sector 5 and in front of the Victoria Memorial. Gulzar did her own makeup and wore her own sarees in the film instead of using purchased costumes. The film marks Rakhee Gulzar’s return to Bengali cinema after several years and to the silver screen 22 years after Shubho Mahurat in 2003. In an interview, co-director Nandita Roy described her as a "director’s actor" and praised her intuitive performance style.

The soundtrack of the film has been composed as well as written by Anupam Roy.
