as well. Indrashis has already started planning on it as he wants to reach more audience breaking the language barrier which often creates a problem for regional cinema. Subtitles rather kill the flow of the narrative.

“People would get to relate their personal crisis to the story we have narrated. I think through this film, we have been able to set a trend for realistic films. I want more people to watch the film so that more filmmakers can be inspired to make this kind of films. I want to pint out those areas which the audience would love, would be left with teary eyes,” stated the director.

According to director Indrashis, ‘Pupa’ is mainly a social drama reflecting the perfect dose of emotions and sentiment during personal crisis and he believes despite not being a potential blockbuster, it will create a place in the audience’s heart.

Pupa stars Rahul Banerjee, Sudiptaa Chakraborty and Kamaleshwar Mukherjee in the lead.
