SBI-553 | cs1 config | SBI-553 is an experimental drug which acts as both a β-arrestin biased positive allosteric modulator and also a Gα-biased negative allosteric modulator of the neurotensin receptor NTSR1. It has analgesic effects in animal studies, but importantly also reduces addictive behaviors produced by stimulants and mu opioid agonists in animal models, suggesting it may be useful as a novel agent for pain relief but which lacks the abuse liability of many currently used analgesic drugs, and may even reduce the potential for addiction when used alongside older analgesics.
A closely related derivative, SBI-810, has superior analgesic effects and may be more likely to be developed for clinical applications.

Shreeman VS Shreemati is a story built around intricate relationships, hence Kahhak Studios was in search of actors who could align their acting prowess with the characters to create realistic chemistry onscreen.
In July 2024, the production team went in search of their hero and Dadasaheb Phalke Award winner Mithun Chakraborty was the first choice for the role of Justice Amal Chowdhury. Mithun Chakraborty was approached for the role while he was filming Surinder film’s ‘Shastri’ with Pathikrrit Basu. On 7th July 2024, on the auspicious occasion of Rath Yatra, Mithun Chakraborty was finalized for the protagonist's role.
Next, the production approached Anjana Basu for the role of Aparna Chowdhury who gracefully accepted the role and gave it life onscreen. When it came to the second lead, Kahhak Studios wanted a fresh perspective for the movie's second lead without the need of an antagonist.
Hence, several actors were approached for the role of Niloy Sen, a strong headed vagabond with a love for music. After much searching, Anjan Dutt was approached with the role of Niloy; however, this role was a far cry from his other works as it portrays an angry young man image with action sequence opposite Mithun Chakraborty, the real ‘angry young man’ of the industry.
A totally unexpected collaboration of two stars for the first time onscreen that gave a fresh perspective for the makers. Dutt accepted the role and gave an outstanding performance on screen for which he was lauded by the audiences.
When it came to the role of Sakshigopal, the divorce lawyer who offers impeccable comedic timings in the film there were two choices, Kharaj Mukherjee and Biswanath Basu. Kharaj Mukherjee was unable to accept the role due to time constraints. So, the casting team approached the very talented Biswanath Basu and he accepted the role.
When it came to choosing the younger version of Amal Chowdhury, Satyam Bhattacharya was roped in for the role. Roshni Bhattacharyya was the first choice for the role of younger Aparna Chowdhury and she was onboard in the project in July 2024. Pathikrrit Basu approached Tanima Sen for the role of Shukla and she accepted the role.
For the role of Sourav, Parambrata Chatterjee came onboard the project at the same time as Madhumita Sarcar for the role of Amrita in August 2024. |

Poorna Banerjee of Times Of India rated the film 3 out 5 stars and opined “The first half, though slightly long, is highly entertaining…The second half stretches the story with bouts of slapstick and physical comedy, some of which feel unnecessary – but much of it lands. Roshni and Satyam share compelling chemistry, delivering touching moments that ground the humour in genuine emotion.” She further added, “The film boasts a strong cast of veterans who bring gravitas and impeccable comic timing. Mithun Chakraborty dominates with his presence, while Parambrata and Biswanath Basu keep the laughs coming with their antics. Anjana Basu adds depth with a restrained performance. Anjan Dutt’s nostalgic song, ‘Boyesh Bere Jay Sokoler,’ is a standout, reminiscent of his earlier work like Ranjana.”
Sayani Ghatak of Anandabazar Patrika positively opined “This film blends comedy, emotion, and even action — with veterans showing they still have it in them” She praised Pathikrrit Basu’s effort, quoting “Bringing together Mithun Chakraborty and Anjan Dutt — two actors once directed by Mrinal Sen — into the same frame was a bold move, and director Pathikrrit Basu has pulled it off. While the two legends don’t share many scenes, when they do, they bring remarkable depth to the screen. Especially after the intermission, when Anjan Dutt’s entry completely shifts the narrative. A scene where he beats up goons in a fish market — that's something Bengali audiences have never seen before!” Addressing Mithun Chakraborty, she also mentioned, “Meanwhile, the script subtly incorporates the detail of Mithun’s fractured hand — a nod to the fact that the actor actually shot the entire film with a broken hand.” Mentioning the music of the film on a positive note, she opined, “Anjan Dutt, in his signature style, has composed a new song for the film, which is both catchy and fitting. Silajit’s song, too, has been used effectively. Each track has been thoughtfully placed in the narrative, and credit goes to music director Indraadip Dasgupta for that care and precision.”
Somnath Gupta from Aajkaal newspaper positively reviewed the cast performance and quoted “Mithun Chakraborty delivered a commendable performance, alongside him, Anjana Basu’s performance was also full of personality. Parambrata, Madhumita, and Biswanath were appropriate. In the flashback sequences of Amal and Aparna’s story, Satyam Bhattacharya and Roshni Bhattacharya acted well.”. He criticised the screenplay and praised Anjan Dutt for his unique performance and his music as he mentioned “Anjan Dutt stood out with a powerful screen presence. His entry followed the conventions of mainstream cinema but revealed a side of the actor rarely seen before. In a notable sequence, he takes on goons in a bustling marketplace, adding a dynamic twist to the narrative. His musical contribution to the film also served as an added highlight. The soundtrack, composed by Indraadip Dasgupta, was particularly well-received.”. The film explored the ups and downs of life, as he opined “All in all, Shreeman Vs Shreemati explores the themes of marriage, relationships, separation, and the meaning of togetherness in a comedic tone”. |
