Ena Saha stars in a Mahalaya musical short

Maa Durga

is the quintessential goddess embodying the supreme strength of women. But Asura who couldn't get slain by any God as he got a boon from Brahma that no man can kill him. Then they put all their powers to create an omnipotent goddess. Devi Durga. She played her role at obliterating

Mahishashura

and became

Mahishashurmardini

.

On Mahalaya, the first day of Devipaksha, Bengalis begin their day with the divine chants of

Birendra Krishna Bhadra

. This is so ironic that a race that worships women deities doesn't care much about the flesh and bone ones. Now, Ena Saha who is making her debut as a producer with ‘SOS Kolkata’ will be seen in a short film ‘

Mahamaya

’ that reflects on the harsh reality of the society.

In the short directed by

Amit Bitoo Dey

, Ena’s character tries to return home after a midnight show and someone shadows her down the trail. What happens next forms the crux of the story.

“There can nothing be more elating than creating something substantial. I have been planning on making this piece since last two years. Thanks to my friend Ena, a benevolent producer on behalf of Jarek entertainments and an amazing actor, along with Rajjamul Hoque, Sourav Singha Roy and most importantly the master sculptor Sanatan Rudra Paul for trusting in my efforts,” says the director while speaking about the short film.

Dipayan Ghosh will be seen as Asura along with Sanatan Rudro Paul in a special appearance. Suraj Das is the DOP while Pronoy Dasgupta has edited the short film.
