On the occasion of
Mrinal Sen’s birth centenary, Friends Communication has released the teaser of Padatik,
a film directed by Srijit Mukherji, based on filmmaker Mrinal Sen’s life. The
film stars Chanchal Chowdhury, Monami Ghosh and Jeetu Kamal along with Korak
Samanta. The one-minute and thirty-seven-second teaser gives a glimpse into the
monochrome film. The black-and-white frames and the sepia tone in a few scenes
give a yesteryear look and feel.
The song Tu zinda hai
and the frames of Chowdhury depicting the role of Sen make a Mrinal Sen fan
nostalgic, no doubt. Ghosh plays the role of Sen’s wife, Geeta Sen, in the
film. Indraadip Dasgupta has scored the music of Padatik.
The title of the
Mukherji-directorial is the same as Sen directed 1973 film — Padatik,
which is believed to be the third film of the trilogy — after Interview
and Calcutta 71. Sen’s Padatik starred Dhritiman Chatterjee,
Simi Garewal, Jochon Dastidar, and Bijon Bhattacharya among others. You can watch
the film here.
The release date of
Mukherji-directed Padatik is yet to be announced.
