In a career spanning more than three decades,
Rituparna Sengupta has won so many awards. Still, any recognition even after all these years in showbiz makes the seasoned actress super energetic and burst into joy. That’s what happened when she heard about her latest win.
Recently
Rituparna
won the Best Female Actor Jury award at the DC South Asian Film Festival for her stellar performance in Indrasis Acharya’s film ‘The Parcel’. The National Award-winning actor is delighted to receive the award and at the same time she feels immensely proud, “It’s a huge honour for me.
Parcel
is a sensible and sensitive film and films like this should be awarded and recognized. Indrasis is a highly talented filmmaker and it’s a pleasure to work with him. Before making ‘The Parcel’, his previous two films ‘Billu Rakkhosh’ and ‘Pupa’ were also appreciated by all.”
The psychological thriller had previously won the Best Indian Director award from
Kolkata International Film Festival
. It has also won the Best Film Audience Choice Award in Indian film section at the Diorama International film festival among other festival laurels.
‘The 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.
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.
