Raja Sen is a happy man!
Sen recountshis experience on the foreign shores, ���������The first screening happened at SanFrancisco on September 19 followed by one in Houston on September 25. OnSeptember 26, the film was shown both at Washington and Atlanta. While I didattend the screenings in San Francisco and Houston, I had to give the Atlantapremiere a miss as the film was shown in Washington too the same day. And Ichose to attend the latter.��������� Having had a successful premierein the US, Raja Sen is now planning to dub ���������Laboratory��������� inHindiIt sure was a tense moment for the director considering thathis audience mostly comprised engineers, doctors scientists and the like.���������I did not know how the viewers would respond to the big screen adaptationof ���������Laboratory���������, penned by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, inSan Francisco. But I was relieved to see that they took a liking to my venture.In Houston too, the response was similar and that increased my confidence thatthe audience in Washington would also like ���������Laboratory���������. I was notwrong in my expectation,��������� admits Sen, whose film is still being screenedin 40 cities in the US every weekend.
The feedback, in fact, was soamazing that viewers in Washington requested a second screening of the film.���������And this time around, there were more of the non-Bengali speakingaudience. Interestingly, there was a demand that this film should bedubbed in Hindi,��������� continues the film-maker.Ask him what he has thought about the request and Sen says, ���������As far as the Hindi dubbing of the same is concerned, talks are on with producers.��������� And if all goes well, Sen would like to dub with his cast of Raveena Tandon Thadani, Ranjit Mallick, Arpita, Sabyasachi Chakraborty and Shaheb Chatterjee. ���������Raveena ji would certainly have no problems with the Hindi dubbing. But I need to see if the rest of the cast is okay with the language. If not, then we have to resort to professional help,��������� the director opines. As of now Sen is busywith a December release of his film in Kolkata. ���������I am sure that myaudience here too will like ���������Laboratory���������,��������� says the reputedfilm-maker, who is busy scouting for fresh stories for his next.Follow us on Twitter for more stories
