Shiboprosad said at the launch, "I think for the Bengali film industry, if something new happens, it is a really exciting and proud moment for all of us. I feel that as much as you like regional content, you will be even more international."

"The makers of Darshoo have gathered content from around the globe. I want and hope that Bengali films also get dubbed in other regional and foreign languages so that our works of Bengali films reach many more audiences. I want Darshoo to make it possible," the 'Bohurupi' director added.
