Saugata Roy to team up with artist Shuvaprasanna

A painter with an obsession to use the human body as the canvas ��������� that���������s what Saugata Roy Burman���������s ���������Tabe Tai Hok��������� is all about. The film stars Swastika Mukherjee, Samadarshi Dutta and Joy Sengupta as leads. Samadarshi plays Arya, the painter with the strange obsession. The paintings that would be shown in the movie are works by artist Shuvaprasanna.
���������The paintings, however, are from Arya���������s point of view and do not express the artist���������s sensibilities,��������� said the director, adding, ���������I���������m honoured that Shuvada agreed to paint for us.���������
Shuvaprasanna, whose paintings had been used earlier in Mrinal Sen and Buddhadeb Dasgupta���������s films, is happy to be a part of Saugata���������s film.���������I am too fond of Saugata. When he came with the proposal, I couldn���������t say no. Added to that, the film revolves around a painter���������s life, so I went ahead with the idea. But all the paintings in this film are from Arya���������s perspective and not mine. Nari deher bhibhinno roop dekhano hoyeche kintu konotai amar chinta bhabna theke noi,��������� said the artist.
The film is about Tilottoma (Swastika) who dreams a lot ��������� sometimes of a tumult of colours that almost suffocates her, sometimes of a long, deserted corridor of some ancient palatial house that seems to have no end. Tilottoma fears her dreams.
���������Amartya (Joy), Tilottama���������s husband is the last in line of a house of royals. The descendent of kings is now a psychiatrist in a city hospital, his kingdom has disappeared, and his palace has worn out.
Does his desire still find satisfaction in the royal games of old? Then there is Arya, a painter who stands at the margin of this whirlwind of dream-reality-memory-modernity periphery. The film tries to explore the dangerous tangle of love, lust and passion among these three characters,��������� said Saugata.
