Adda

Adda is a modern-day fable about Bangaliyana. Set in the sleepy metropolis of Kolkata, the film is about two naughty angels, Black and White, who come down to Earth and spy in on the lives of four childhood friends, an aging Jadavpur University professor, a struggling actress, and a self-righteous journalist.
