12 April : What happens when a beautiful vampire falls in love with a shy, faint-hearted, yet a lousy dentist? Sparks fly! Their love is a forbidden one, the kind that can result in a delirious clash of worlds, threatening to tear them apart. This story will have you rooting for the boy-next-door human dentist and the rebellious vampire, however impossible this love story may seem! Welcome to the world of Tooth Pari: When Love Bites - a romantic fantasy thriller from Netflix, produced by Endemol Shine India and created & directed by Pratim Dasgupta. Starring Shantanu Maheshwari and Tanya Maniktala as the endearing Roy and Rumi, Tooth Pari: When Love Bites will stream on Netflix starting April 20.
It all started when Rumi, the rebellious vampire from ‘Neeche’ broke one of her fangs during a hunt and landed at a human dentist - Roy’s clinic. While it turned out to be a ‘meet cute’ for this couple, what followed next is something worth a watch.
Set in Kolkata - the city of joy, this romantic fantasy thriller promises a ‘love bite’ you will never forget! The picturesque Kolkata simply lends its mystery and charm to the narrative with its dark alleyways, the Maidan Metro Station, Nonapukur Tram Depot, the Babughat bridge and the Howrah phool-ghat amongst many other iconic attractions bringing the world of Tooth Pari alive.
From a modern day Wicca and the leader of Cutmundus, Luna Luka (Revathy), who is hell-bent on exposing the vampires to Sub. Inspector Kartik (Sikander Kher) getting entangled in a untoward case that can cost him his job; from Roy (Shantanu Maheshwari) not willing to give up on Rumi knowing her truth to Rumi (Tanya Maniktala) promising never to bite again; this clash of ‘upar’ and ‘neeche’ is surprising, shocking, riveting and will get your heart racing. Being irresistibly drawn to each other, will Roy and Rumi’s love triumph over everything else?
Creator & Director of the series, Pratim Dasgupta added, “Magical, thrilling and unapologetically romantic, Tooth Pari is a fantastical fairy tale set in today’s Kolkata. While at its core, it’s a classic love story between a vampire and a human being, it’s also a life-affirming fable brimming with humanity.”
