It’s not often you get to represent your country on an international platform. And when you get the chance, it’s indeed a moment of pride and honour. It’s no doubt a proud moment for
Churni Ganguly whose latest directorial ‘
Tarikh
’ has been selected among the 15 films from all over the world as one of the finalists for the Best Picture at the
Los Angeles Film Award
2019. Incidentally, earlier this month ‘Tarikh’ bagged the National Award for Best Dialogues.
Churni Ganguly’s ‘Tarikh’ tends to focus on the positive outcomes of social media along with addressing issues of intellectualism, loneliness, and relationships. With a stellar cast of
Saswata Chatterjee,
Ritwick Chakraborty and
Raima Sen, the film received appreciation from all corners.
While speaking about the film’s relevance, Churni had said earlier: “Social media is indispensable in our daily lives these days. We share photographs, take time out to celebrate birthdays and other special happenings. While so many misunderstandings happen on social media some misunderstandings are cleared as well with the help of social media. It’s after seeing such incidents and also personally experiencing them, the story idea for the film came up. A person may be dead but if you visit their social media timeline, it feels like the person is not dead at all. It would look like he or she is still alive. If you check the social media posts of a person, you also get a timeline of the person’s activities. That’s why the sub-title of this film is Tarikh- A Timeline. It celebrates life.”
