#Need to reach out to the masses through our film : Sohini Sarkar
Kolkata, Apr 29 (IBNS): IFFI-screened Phoring female lead Sohini Sarkar, having wooed the audience with her breezy performance in Open Tee Bioscope, attaches lots of importance to the audience feedback to her role in Jhumura, the just released Bengali film on dying folk art tradition.
"I have started my innings as an actor. Jhumura was shot even before the making of Phoring though it was released earlier. I play the dual role of a folk singer and a journalist chronicling her romance over hundred years back and had to master the diction and dialect of the Jhumur artistes inhabiting that belt of Purulia," Sohini told IBNS here.
 
"I had been mentally involved in the film's making as the shots progressed. Now keen to gauge how the audience connects to the film which had seen such a huge turnout in the Kolkata Film Festival 2014. Very crucial for me." she said.
 
Sohini, till now known for her orientation to serious genre films, confirms there lies a spasm between serious film and mainstream film audiences to a question and hopes the division is bridged
 
Young, independent director Anindyo Chattopadhyay, having earlier done several short films, says his objective is to reach out to the masses.
 
Anindya, who had also shot his first French film, Homeland (La Patrie), in Euville, Commercy, said Jhumura had been to various European film festivals including Stuttgart besides the one in KFF Bengal Panorama section.
