Archier Gallery tells the story of Archie, portrayed by Bonny Sengupta, a young man who grew up without his mother and was raised by his father and aunt. Archie becomes heavily reliant on his father, played by Rajatabha Dutta, who acts as his primary support system. The film is set in the modern world but captures the nostalgic essence of the 90s. Archie longs for a time before cell phones and is deeply attached to that era. His father's love story with his mother serves as a constant reminder of that time. Niharika, played by Ayoshi Talukdar, enters Archie's life, and with his father's guidance, he embarks on a journey of love and self-discovery.
Archier Gallery marks the third collaboration between Ayoshi Talukdar and Bonny Sengupta, who previously appeared together in the films Amrapali directed by Raja Chanda and Hirakgorer Hire directed by Sayantan Ghosal. The film is directed by Pramita Bhattacharya, a debutant director and a graduate of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII).[8] Shyamsundar Dey serves as the producer of the film under the banner of Shadow Films. The music for ''Archie'r Gallery'' is composed by Amit Chatterjee.[9]
