Ray lovers of the Capital can rejoice. Apur Sansar — the last part of the Apu Trilogy — is all set to be screened in the city. Though the film has been out in DVDs and VCDs now, but nothing beats the magic of watching the cinematic frames of ray on the giant screen.
Which cinema lover can forget the scene where Soumitra Chatterjee comes face to face with his abandoned son?
But the feast does not stop there.Also to be screened are Rituparno Ghosh's award-winning film Dahan and Utpalendu Chakraborty's Chokh. All these are a part of the Regional Film Festival — a three day film extravaganza that is being organised by the Delhi government.
'Delhi patronises people from across the country. People from every region could be benefited by witnessing selected movies from their own soil and language. This has been the prime motive behind the idea,' said JP Singh, assistant secretary, Sahitya Kala Parishad.
Apur Sansar, which stars Soumitra Chatterjee and Sharmila Tagore, will be screened on the first day. This is the last part of the Apu trilogy and has beautiful poignant moments of romance between Sharmila and Chatterjee.
Dahan, to be screened on Day 2, is based on Suchitra Bhattacharya's story of the same name. It shows the struggle of Indrani Halder struggle with the patriarchal mentality of the society. When a newly married couple (played by Rituparna Sengpta and Abhishek Chatterjee) is attacked on the road and the woman molested, none save for Jhinuk (played by Halder), comes forward to their rescue. Sengupta and Halder jointly picked up the National Award for their role.
