MUMBAI: The Mithun Chakraborty-starrer Shukno Lonka (2010) is to be screened at the 2nd India International Film Festival (IIFF) of Tampa Bay, Florida, on 20 February.

The Gaurab Pandey directed Shukno Lanka is a journey about forgotten dreams. It is a story of fears, reconciliation and finally of living the magic called life.

Joy Sundar Sen is a popular award-winning film director. He meets Isabella, a young European actress in Berlin. Cutting across divides of age and culture, Isabella and Sen share a bond of respect and understanding.

At a book-store in Berlin, Sen and Isabella chance upon an anthology of short stories by the Indian film maker Ritwik Ghatak. As he browses through the book, one of the stories - Paraspathar (The Philosopher‘s Stone) - begins to resonate in his mind. It is a story of a man who seems to have hit upon a magic formula to bring people to life back from death. Faced with his own morality, brought more sharply into relief by the effervescent youth of Isabella, Sen decides that Paraspathar is going to be his next film.

The 80-minute film that has a tagline of ‘An Ordinary Man - A Not So Ordinary Story‘ is one of the highly acclaimed Tollywood films from Kolkata. It stars Mithun Chakraborty, Sabyasachi Chakravarthy, Debashree Roy, Emma Garnett Brown, Angana Bose Nandini Chatterjee, Saheb Chatterjee, Arindam Sil, Chattrapati Dutta, Suman De and late Kunal Mitra among others.
