Tomar Jonyo

The Bengali movie, Tomar Jonyo released on the 14th of November. This is a special movie because it has been directed by Nilu (Nilanjan Banerjee), my brother-in-law and has been edited by Sharmistha Jha, my sister. Both are graduates from the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute, second batch. Produced by Zee Movies, it stars two newcomers. I admit I was a little apprehensive about enjoying a Bengali love story, especially with the kind generally doled out these days, but the movie turned out to be a sweet love story with tragic twists and turns and the right dose of humour, good music and, of course, a happy ending. A very promising debut, no doubt!
