Aparajita Tumi releasing this month
MUMBAI: National-award-winning filmmaker Aniruddha Roy Choudhury’s Aparajita Tumi is set to release this month.
Based on a story titled Dui Nari Hatey Torobari by eminent writer Sunil Gangopadhyay, the film is a take-off where the characters go beyond the realm of right or wrong, in their quest for own private space and happiness.
The film dwells on the lives of two NRI couples and the problems in their relationship, said the director whose earlier films Anuranan (resonance) and Antaheen (The endless wait) were well received and annexed national awards.
The film has Prosenjit Chatterjee, Padmapriya and Kamalinee (both known names in South Indian films).
The film has tracks by Shreya Ghosal, Hamsika Iyer, Monali Thakur, Bengali singer Anindyo chatterjee and new age Bengali singer Rupankar.
With this film, Choudhury has turned his focus on Bengali diaspora in San Francisco.
