Kaushik Ganguly’s ‘
Nagarkirtan
’ created waves all around when it bagged 4 National Awards. The much delayed theatrical release last year due to some legal hiccups couldn’t stop the film from receiving an overwhelming response from the audience.
It’s one year since the critically acclaimed film released which leaves
Riddhi Sen, one of the leads in ‘Nagarkirtan’ in an emotional state. The talented actor took to his social media handle to share a collage of images going down the memory lane. He wrote: “A Friday which came too late but went away in the blink of an eye . 22nd February,2020, here we meet another Friday , one whole year has passed , so many thing have remained the same, but few things have changed for sure. A lot of car windows now come down hearing a knock , more than a handful of people are comfortable looking at them in the eye. Madhu and Pnuti successfully erased one thing from many hearts, the concept of ‘us and them' . The tune of Madhu da’s flute still makes a lot of people cry , yes , even after one year , in a world full of ‘right here right now ‘ , Kaushik Ganguly’s Nagarkirtan holds a mirror infront of the society which still makes people go ‘still ‘ , it makes people a little more human. #oneyearofNagarkirtan @ritwickchak.”
‘Nagarkirtan’ stars Riddhi Sen and
Ritwick Chakraborty in the lead. While Riddhi delivers a career-defining performance (one that earned him the Best Actor award at the 2018 National Film Awards), Ritwick exceptionally matches the young actor note for note. There are only a few actors in Bengali cinema who can bring such a delicate poignancy to dialogue as simple as ‘Is it really possible – this idea of a man falling in love with a man?'
