Ex-Mayor finds real-life echo in film on school admn

Former Kolkata Mayor and advocate Bikash Bhattacharya today praised the Shiboprosad Mukhopadhyay-Nandita Roy starrer 'Ramdhanu' which tackles head-on the admission farce in elite schools.
"Everyone can relate to this subject which is very real. The scramble to get into prominent schools," the eminent lawyer said here.
"Nice to see, topical subjects coming up in such categorical mannner in Bengali films," the art-enthusiast, having been invited to a special screening of the film by Ramdhanu producers-fellow advocate Atanu Ray Choudhury, said.
Journalist-Director Sudeshna Roy, a regular in Bengali sops and arthouse films as actor, said this was a film with a purpose, as the duo always weaves a tale from everyday experiences of our lives.

"Moreover the director here doffs the hat of an actor who is not a cameo delivering a power-packed incredible performance," the 'Jodi Love Dile Naa Prane' maker said.
Speaking about another 'first' for the film, Shiboprosad said, "We have integrated the visual element - the colored fabrics and costumes - with the theme which have been a trend in Bollywood and southern films for some time but mostly used for period era effect in Tollygunje so long.
