Baishe Srabon (/baɪʃeɪ ʃraːbon/ transl. The 22nd Srabon), also marketed as 22 Shey Srabon, is a 2011 Indian Bengali-language neo-noir psychological thriller film written and directed by Srijit Mukherji. Produced by Shrikant Mohta and Mahendra Soni under the banner of Shree Venkatesh Films, the film is the first instalment of Mukherji's own Cop Universe. It stars an ensemble cast of Prosenjit Chatterjee, Parambrata Chatterjee, Raima Sen, Abir Chatterjee and Gautam Ghose in the leads. The film features a suspended brutal-minded and hot-tempered police officer, being recruited by the department to solve a case involving a serial killer, who murders his victims according to the different verses of Bengali poems. Initially planned as a telefilm with a different cast, the film marks Mukherji's second collaboration with Prosenjit Chatterjee, and Ghose's comeback to acting after a 29-year absence. Partially modeled on the characters of the American crime thriller Seven (1995), the film brought the thriller genre back to Bengali cinema after a long time. The film was announced in December 2010, and principal photography commenced in January 2011. Filming took places in Kolkata and Howrah, with portions being shot in Shimla and Nainital. Anupam Roy composed its soundtrack, while score was provided by Indraadip Dasgupta. It is the first film to have the Hungry movement in the 1960s in its storyline. Upon release, it received highly positive reviews from critics and was one of the highest-grossing Bengali films of 2011. It is now considered as a cult film among the Bengali audience. The sequel named Dwitiyo Purush, was released on 23 January 2020 and the prequel named Dawshom Awbotaar, was released on 19 October 2023. Both were directed by Srijit Mukherji.
