Bengalis celebrate Poila Baishakh
Poila Baishakh, the first day of the Bengali New Year was observed across the state with great enthusiasm. The day is also observed as the foundation day of Bengal.
Debapratim Dasgupta, who is also known as Taju and is also a well-known scriptwriter for television, is set to make his second film. The film is titled Ishwar and its story revolves around a cemetery guard.
The Bengali movie stars Saswata Chatterjee, Priyanka Sarkar, Paran Bandopadhyay, Anindya Chatterjee, Gaurav Chakrabarty, Biswajit Chakraborty, Kaushik Kar, Manasi Sinha and Sonalee Chaudhury.
When asked about the movie, Taju said, “The guard, Ishwar, is under the impression that humans sleep in their graves, tired of life’s rat race. So, he doesn’t allow anyone to make noise at the burial ground. He even sings a lullaby at a child’s grave. This man eventually gets married and proves to be a disappointment for his wife. Their relationship starts souring and Ishwar realizes that life is a celebration of death.”
