Director Indrasis Acharya is in happy space, find out why

Indrasis Acharya’s ‘The Parcel’, which is re-releasing this Puja on October 15 after it suffered the COVID-19 strike in March is now an official selection at the Melbourne Indian Film Festival 2020. This no doubt something to cheer for as it was earlier selected at the 19^thDhaka International Film Festival.
‘Parcel’ is a simple yet beautiful story that is relevant, immersive and one that has a strong connect.Indrasis is someone who wants to go deep inside human emotional crises to explore them the way they are in reality as we have seen in his previous two films ‘Biloo Rakkhosh’ and ‘Pupa’. He loves to narrate human stories which can stir the mind without going emotionally overboard. Parcel has a non-explicit, realistic and open-ended script.
Here, Rituparna Sengupta and Saswata Chatterjee play a doctor couple with a teenage daughter. Rituparna’s character Nandini starts receiving her pictures, new and old, in parcels from some unknown sender. This leads to a fear psychosis in her mind and she starts suspecting a few known people around her. Meanwhile, Saswata’s character suffers a setback when a death occurs at the hospital and a crisis develops around whether it was a natural death or was it due to his negligence. These two crises lead to the main crisis in the movie.
