Last year Bengali film
directors Nandita Roy and Shiboprasad Mukherjee made Belasashe about an ageing
couple and their family presented by Eros International. The film won accolades
for the story and the message of the film.
This year Nandita and
Mukherjee are ready to showcase their new film Praktan once again presented by Eros
International.
This time the story is about a couple that has parted
ways and meet accidentally on a train journey. Sudipa a career woman and
Malini, a homemaker accompanied by her four year old daughter are co-passengers
from Pune to Kolkata. Malini befriend Sudipa with stories about her
husband and family and in Nagpur they are joined by Malini’s husband who is
infact Sudipa’s former husband.
Interestingly shot with a variety of characters and
live music performed by a group of actual musicians sharing a coach the film
has many moods of drama and emotion. Because the hero is a city guide he recaps
kolkatta history with humour and charm. The film focuses on small family
relationships and personal ambitions and how too many expectations ruins a
quality relationship.
Praktan starring Rituparna Sengupta
and Prosonjeet Chatterjee is a contemporary film about contemporary characters
and important for wha is happening in urban life.
