Kolkata, Sept 6 (IBNS) 'Teenkahon' director Bauddhayan Mukherjia, whose work has already triggered wave in international film festivals including North Carolina, says his film making has been inspired by Satyajit Ray.
"I had followed Satyajit Ray from beginning to end. He is my guru in a sense since my baptism into the world of film making was made possible because of him," Bauddhayan Mukherjia tells IBNS here.
"Without Ray I could not have grasped the lyricism of frames. I am indebted to him. in more than one way. There is a Pather Panchali flavour in the whole work," the acclaimed ad film maker having won many laurels in Ad film festivals at Cannes and other parts, says.
While the first story Nabalaok dates back several decades, the second one is set in late 70s and the last one has a contemporary milieu.
"I have encapsulated three different periods of Bengal through my film, stringing them through separate stories all rolled into one at the end," he says.
Casting director friend Suman Mukhopadhyay in a character so unlikely of him and actor Sabyasachi Chakroborty, Bauddhayan says, Sabyasachi was chosen after he watched Bhooter Baisyot.and 'Biplab (in Bhooter Bhabisyot) blends effortlessly with Gnyanesh Mitra in second story 'Post-mortem' of Teenkahon.
Sabyasachi takes part in the second story Post-mortem, based on a famous story of a popular Bengali writer, where the devastations cased by the 1978 Bengal floods work as the backdrop.
"This is the first time a calamity has been captured in such a spectacular fashion in a Bengali film," Bauddhayan says.
Tollywood actress Rituoparna Sengupta essays the female protagonist of the third film which utters poignant poems during certin moments and the director brings out the beautiful, small emotions through her character in the last film Telephone.
