In her second debut as an acor-singer, who hums lines without background score during candid moments, Rituparno Ghosh's 'Dosar' star Chandrayee Ghosh says she enjoyed singing on screen in Tiyasha as a radio jockey.
"Tiyasha, which dwells on the predilections of a woman who has to balance home and work fronts, demanding listeners and colleague, and cope with a kiddish, un-worldwise husband, will be rated by me next to Rituda's Dosar," Chandrayee told PTI here.
"I will rate Tiyasha as a woman psyche-sensitive film for two reasons - since Dosar shows how the other woman Mita Roy in a business honcho's (Kaushik Chatterjee) life is simply deleted from his phone book after her death in a car mishap while the Animesh Roy film also takes an involved stance about the situation of a career woman Riya, who is also a home maker and since in both films the directors explored my singing passion," she said during the premier of the film.
"Tagore's Roopye Tomay Bholabo na' remains one of my favorite tracks and Animeshda asked me to render the lines the way I sing at 'gharoa addas' (home sessions)," Chandrayee said.
"In Dosar I had been asked to sing 'Aaj Kemon Kore Gaichhe Akash'. Again Rituda had heard me humming the lines once before shoot and it came off so beautifully," she said.
About sharing space with Saswata 'Nilkantha' Chatterjee) for the first time on big screen, the BFJA winner in 2005 said, "We had done many telefilms together and any actor will be amazed to share screen space with Apuda."
"Yes Chandrayee is the female protagonist of my film while Saswata portrays the dilemma of a impractical, not-so-successful professional still in awe and sense of wonder about the ways of nature and universe. I know Chandrayee is a good singer and yes she was singing for the second time after Dosar," Animesh Roy, also the maker of Oh Henry, said.
The flick, released last week, also star s Soham Basu Roychowdhury as Tojo, the point of attrition between the couple as their on-screen son in the movie.
