Kolkata, June 22 (IBNS) Tollywood actress Sudipta Chakraborty feels debutante directors are now mustering the courage to make unconventional films in Bengali with the backing of producers.

Asked if she would call Shororipu a dark film, Sudipta agreed and said the film has several layers - dark shades, manifesting instincts.
"The director has shown courage in dealing with such a subject. The more and more audience back such varied content, the better things will work out for the Bengali cinema," says the actress whose portrayal of a teenaged son's mother in Open tee Bioscope had been universally praised.
Actor Konnenica Banerjee, essaying the role of an outwardly simple charming girl who is complex deep inside, said it was after a long time that she was given such space in a film by the director instead of lesser-duration appearances in other previous works.
Actor-MLA Chiranjeet Chakraborty said: "Now there is a golden phase for Bengali film industry with the success of Praktan."
"Shororipu, which also reflected the changing shades of the truth inquisitor from the ones in Kiriti Roy or Byomkesh Baksi, to the modern day type, can't just be defined as a new-noir film. It is a thriller," Chiranjeet, the Chotuskone pointsman, says.
