Bengali films always rooted to our rich cultural heritage : Sudeshna Roy
Kolkata, Sept 9 (IBNS) Critically acclaimed director Sudeshna Roy, having delivered a string of hits including Hercules in recent times, is now making a film based on the sufferings of inmates at old age homes.
"Our next film 'E Parobase' is centred on the lives of some old age inmates having been apparently shunned by their biological family but having built up their own family with people they have turned closer in the purple phase of their life's journey," Sudeshna told IBNS on the sidelines of musical fashion show Naksha.
"It will be a totally new genre film which talks about the meeting of minds of people living in similar situations," said Sudeshna having first shot to limelight with the fresh youth-centric film Cross Connection years back.
"Certain questions are being raised about the issues faced by the elderly in our society with the change in social structure. E Parobase will take a peek into that," she said.
Sudeshna, who talks effusively about the creation of designer Santanu Guha Thakurta, the brain behind Naksha, said Bengali films had always been rooted to our rich ethnicity and heritage in terms of costumes of characters.
"Costumes had always played an important role to highlight our Bengaliness and we had sought to do that in our films all along including Jodi Love Dile Na Praane last year," Sudeshna, having been actively associated with Rituparno Ghosh's earlier films where art direction played a part, pointed out.
Santanu, who had draped Konkona Sen Sharma and Rituparna Sengupta among others, said, "Konkona looks amazing in any texture though her favourite is tussar while Ritu can beatifully carry herself in any women's wear, from saree to westerns."
Leading model Rukmini Maitra said she feels like an empowered woman by flaunting the Durga matrirup in red colored saree.
