The film is an act of passion and commitment and long
nourished dream. We dreamt of making a short film long back.
We dared to create one. Our dedication was further tested by
cyclone Bulbul .Our shooting days, rather nights, were
drenched by heavy rain and stormed by heavy winds. It was
really difficult to hold the light, camera and set up together.
We are glad that we could. In a remote tribal village of
Bengal, entire troop worked day and night, without proper
sleep, food and with very limited equipment and experience
to make dream come true. The entire fund was arranged
from our savings without any commercial sponsorship. We
seek your love and support to make many such project in future.
