Over the years, IFFI has gained the reputation of being one of the most awaited events amongst cinema lovers from around the globe. It is an attempt to weave the audience and filmmakers through a narrative that combines culture, language and the heritage of different visions.
The Indian Panorama: Meet the Directors on Day 7 of IFFI 2017 was graced by Atanu Mukherjee, director of the Hindi feature film, Rukh and Pooja Gupte – cinematographer of the movie. The movie speaks of the journey of a boy, Dhruv, who studies at a boarding school away from his home. He is not aware of the problems happening inside his home till he gets the news of his father passing away. He is in a dilemma whether his father has actually passed away or is it a planned murder. This forms the crux of the story.
Antana Mukherjee says, “It’s a great honor and I’m excited to be part of IFFI. Shooting my debut film has been a great journey – right from conceiving the idea and developing it – it was a memorable journey. I’m happy that it’s a part of the Indian Panorama and and has got a very good response.”
