RE-REVIEWS
-------------------------
Chirosakha He
Chirosakha He is a classic example of filmmaking at its worst leading to a
complete misrepresentation and misreading of Tagore, his life and his
relationships.

Bonobhoomi
With his second feature, Bonobhoomi, Swapan Ghoshal has perhaps been too
ambitious with the film's far too many sub-plots offering narrative interest
but also tending to lead to a lot of confusion.

LUMINARY
-----------------------------
Buddhadeb Dasgupta
One of a handful of filmmakers, Buddhadeb Dasgupta has consistently tried to
define and re-define the significance of the auteur in cinema. From Dooratwa
in 1978 to The Voyeurs in 2007, the stamp of his individuality is marked
cinematographically, as well as through his choice of his literary source.

CLASSIC FILMS
-------------------------------
This time we bring you a film each from two master directors, Satyajit Ray
and Mrinal Sen.
Nayak
A quintessential Ray classic, Nayak continues to enthrall its viewers even
aftermore than 40 years since it was made and does not fail to surprise us
every time we see it.

Akaler Sandhaney
Akaler Sandhaney, is Mrinal Sen's most celebrated film, one which firmly
established his position as one of the leading lights of Indian cinema,
especially of the movement that has been labelled as the Indian New Wave.
