How is the feedback from the audience?
I am getting great feedback from the audience cutting across ages. These days they can directly connect through social media. So they are texting me, writing reviews on their social media accounts, mentioning it as a “brilliant new-age movie”, “a major work of our time”, “gripping”, “thoroughly entertaining”, “uprising underdog story”, “a brave pertinent film”, “a musical revolution”, “provided respite in the uncertain time”, “a landmark in Bengali cinema”, “heart-touching”, “soulful” and so on. I have saved all those messages as they are precious. I have also received very good reviews from the critics and film fraternity. Veteran film-maker Shekhar Das commented, “This film somehow connects with Mrinal Sen’s aesthetics.” Overall I am extremely happy with the response I have got so far.
