Synopsis
The film revolves around the life of Shabari and her right to performing priesthood, dealing with menstrual taboos and standing up against the concept of Kanyadan. Shabari is a lecturer, performing artiste and priest. She picked up the art of priesthood from her father. When a chance encounter with Vikramaditya at a college function leads to a marriage proposal, she tells the would-be groom that she does puja among other things. Her words are misinterpreted for the usual puja that women perform at home. After her marriage, Shabari is forced to keep her identity under wraps due to the stark differences between her worlds, pre and post marriage. Will she be able to continue being a priest against all odds or will she be forced to give up faced with opposition by a patriarchal society? All the more when women in their menstrual age are not allowed to perform pujas! Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti makes one ponder over the outdated rites and rituals and questions the gender imbalance in society.

Reception
The Calcutta high court in a recent order has held that “Hinduism is a way of life and is wide enough even to accommodate atheists, agnostics as well as all shades of religious and spiritual beliefs”. The court also said, "In the event, the Hindu religion was so fragile and wounded so easily, it would not have survived over the ages through various onslaughts, as borne out by history." Justice Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya's six-page order on March 6 nullified a plea against the film for "hurting Hindu religious sentiments" by linking Brahma with 'gopon kommoti', which means 'the secret act'.[5] Petitioner Subhadep Adhikari also argued that the filmmakers should be prosecuted under penal sections which deal with hurting religious sentiment with a malicious intent.[6]
Controversy
Bengali writer Debarati Mukhopadhyay claimed that the plot of the movie was copied from her book Diotima without giving any attributions.[7] Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy informed that Debarati's claim is baseless and Windows Production filed a suit of 10 crores against Debarati Mukhopadhyay. Smt. Mukhopadhyay also stated that she has filed a counter suit against the production house for plagiarism, copyright violation worth 50 Crores. She also filed a defamation suit against the script writer of the film for humiliating her.[8][9]
Soundtrack
The soundtrack is composed by Anindya Chatterjee on his own lyrics.
