After nearly 12 years, Dev and Subhashree are back together on screen in Kaushik Ganguly’s long-awaited film Dhumketu. Their public reunion at the Nazrul Mancha trailer launch sent fans into nostalgia. Subhashree even teased Dev with the iconic line, “Amar shonge friendship korbe?” The excitement peaked with the official teaser release in June 2025. Headlines called it an “unfinished love story”.
