"Gotro" (meaning "Clan" or "Lineage") arrived in 2019 as a significant commentary on the socio-political climate of West Bengal. It is not just a film; it is a reflection of the changing fabric of urban Bengali society, tackling the dual themes of an aging population left in solitude and the toxicity of religious prejudice. The story revolves around Mou Mukherjee (Anashua Majumdar), an elderly widow living alone in a sprawling ancestral home in North Kolkata. Her only son (played by Ambarish Bhattacharya) has settled abroad, embodying the modern "NRI" son syndrome—a recurring trope in Bengali cinema (reminiscent of Ballygunge Court or Posto ), where parents become "satellite parents" or are left entirely to their own devices.
