Director Statement

In the course of my film distribution business, I got to meet many young men and women who come to Kolkata from the suburbs with dreams in their eyes, to make it big in the city! But soon, quite a few of the women turn up warming the beds of influential people. Here, most dreams die young, too! Over the course of making this film, Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey’s horrifying tales of harassing and exploiting young men and women have cropped up. In the light of these events, I felt it absolutely necessary to take this story to the audience.
This film is dedicated to the dreams of those poor, helpless souls who could not make it on the big or small screen and fell victim to the lust of others.
