Nashtonir inspires Agnidev Chatterjee

Agnidev Chatterjee���������s second film, ���������Charuulata 2011���������, produced by SPS Arts and Enter tainment Ltd, is inspired by Rabindranath Tagore���������s short story, Nashtonir. ���������Though the plot structure of ��������� C h a r u u l at a 2011��������� is inspired by Nashtonir, it veers away from the confines of a period drama and is set in a more c o n t e m p o r a r y background.
But it retains the inherent complexities. There is also a feminist angle in this film, which asserts that today���������s woman loves to lead life on her own terms,��������� says Agnidev.
However, the music of ���������Charuulata 2011��������� has no similarities with Ray���������s ���������Charulata���������. ���������There shouldn���������t be any comparison between the two films. Ray is a stalwart and ���������Charulata��������� is a milestone. We have learnt from his works. The music of ���������Charuulata 2011��������� is melodious and while composing it, I just went with the flow. Ustad Rashid Khan has recorded a Bengali song for this film,��������� informs music c o m p o s e r Indraadip Das Gupta.
Ask Agnidev how it was working with the production house and he says, ���������I have been associated with them over a decade now. They have produced films like ���������Yatra��������� and ���������15 Park Avenue���������. Bipinda is one of the most non-interfering producers that I have come across till date and I like his quest for producing quality and meaningful cinema.���������
Speaking about ���������Charuulata 2011��������� and producing a particular genre of movies, Bipin Vohra, chairman of the production house, elaborates, ���������We have always worked on strong subjects and I feel Nashtonir is one of the most marvellous novels of Tagore. So, we thought of making a film based on it which celebrates woman power.���������
