There are only few Indian filmmakers left now who bring in as much admiration among the film fraternity as noted director Buddhadeb Dasgupta. He has created a genre completely his own. He loves to blend the rhythm and imagery of poetry with those of cinema, and continues to experiment with both form and content.
And now, his latest film Urojahaaj which has been lauded by international film circuit and was screened recently at the Kolkata International Film Festival is set for its theatrical release. The slice-of-a-life drama will hit the big screens on December 13.
Last year Urojahaaj was screened at the international festivals in Mumbai and Kerala. This year it has already garnered a lot of appreciation in Madrid, New York and London.
Starring Chandan Roy Sanyal and Parno Mittra in the lead, the film follows an idealistic villager who discovers a wrecked WW2 Japanese warplane deep in a ghostly forest. Seeing passenger planes overhead, his dream has always been to fly. He sets about secretly repairing the plane, but as he starts enquiring about an engine, the military find out and he is soon considered a national threat.
