Director Statement

This movie is intensely moulded by the heavy influence of the great director, Mrinal Sen. It's a little endeavour to give a tribute on his birth centenary. I tried to revisit the sentier (pathway) Sen created through his filmy world. My effort was to tell a story in the language of Mrinal Sen's films. If the reminiscence through my films makes anyone nostalgic about Mrinal Sen, I will consider myself successful.
