It’s a proud moment for actors
Barun Chanda and
Samrat Mukherjee. The two senior
Tollywood
actors have just jointly won the Best Actor award at
Ecuador
’s prestigious International Film Festival. The award came for their impressive performance in
Indranil Banerjee
’s latest short ‘
Ujjhyo
- The Unsaid’ which had earlier bagged a prestigious award at the Istanbul Film Awards in the Best Director (Short Film) category.
The short follows the life of a father and his son. It, produced by Maitrayee De, starts with a man entering a flat with a bag of vegetables and mutton. He goes around cleaning the household and cooking for an old man. While taking care of the old man various emotions run through him. He serves food to the old man, but he throws the plate away and accuses the young man of trying to harm him. He claims that he has stopped taking mutton after suffering a stroke. Then why intentionally he has been served mutton?
The conversation that follows reveals they have a father-son relationship. Lots of emotional exchange takes place as they speak. We see accusations, grudges, allegations, complaints, explanations and clarification and discontentment as they both try to prove their point. In the end, the son leaves the room thinking his father is as selfish as ever. What happens next forms the crux of the story.
