Plot

Gorokhshep plateau is the new destination where the uncle-nephew duo will be facing harsh circumstances in the process of unravelling the actual truth behind the attacks by the giant beast. The quest introduces them to new characters such as Mingma and Norbu, local sherpas, who help them in the expedition. Their adventure leads them to discovering the mystery of the Yeti.

Cast

Production

Yeti Obhijaan is produced by Shree Venkatesh Films.[4] The film was originally intended to be a joint venture between India and Bangladesh, with the production company Jaaz Multimedia set to serve as the Bangladeshi co-producer[1][4], and this would eventually lead to the casting of Bangladeshi actors Ferdous Ahmed and Bidya Sinha Saha Mim.[5] However, due to conflicts with filming, Jaaz Multimedia removed their investment and the film became solely an Indian film.

The film was shot in India and Switzerland.

Release

Yeti Obhijaan released on Durga Puja 2017. This is the first 3D film of Bengal, but will now witness a 2D release due to some infrastructure constraints.[6] The sole reason for the same is the lack of sufficient 3D screens in West Bengal. As per multiplex reports, a 3D version of a film always has a better pull than its 2D version.

Reception

Critical reception

The Times of India gave the film a 2.5 star rating out of five, and commented, "On the whole, Yeti Obhijaan is disappointing. Pahar Churaye Aatonko is one of the best Kakababu adventures and it is sad to see our childhood nostalgia snuffed out on screen. It fails to thrill, let alone entertain. It is too early to say that Srijit Mukherjee has lost his mojo, but his storytelling is a shadow of what it used to be a few years back. It seems that there was a time when he wanted to tell stories, today he wants to helm projects. And the difference shows."[9]

Sequel

Third sequel of this Kakababu franchise, Kakababur Protyaborton is scheduled to release in November 2019.[10]
