A host of stars at Monchora premiere

The air outside may not have been at its nippy best, but that inside a city theatre was abuzz with chit chat about Sandip Ray's latest offering, Monchora.
The occasion, of course, was the premiere of the Abir Chatterjee-Raima Sen starrer that revolves around the life of a thief and is an adaptation of Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay's story by the same name. And it was surely a happening affair.We spotted the who's who of Bengali cinema in attendance, apart from the cast and crew of the romantic thriller. We saw Arindam Sil, Saswata Chatterjee, Paran Bandopadhyay, Anik Dutta and a host of other celebs interacting with cast members Abir, June Malia, Saswata Chatterjee and the director.The film's leading lady Raima, however, was missing from the event.
