Advocating the need to make the rape accused-convicted persons realise the gravity of their crime, actor Saswata Chatterjee says people with mental depravity can only commit crime against women.
"While I am repelled and outraged by the news reports of rape-attack-molestion in papers and tv channels, I feel it can be the act of perversion which needs to be cured," the 'Meghe Dhaka Tara' actor said at the announcement of 'Ashamed Cupid', a three story anthology on the atrocities of women.
Bengali 'Big Boss' inmate Sudipta Chakroborty, who had earned critical acclaim for her role in Rituparno Ghosh's 'Bariwali', said, "I second Apuda (as Saswata is fondly called). But for such follow-up measures to reform covicts, the government must take initiative."
Sudipta felt being a woman she felt as much shocked with such daily accounts of horror stories confronting women i even in public places but she again believed, "More and more women are now mustering the courage to protest. And not even taking taunts and slurs and attacks lying down."
The trilogy, which even deals with issues like marital rape, can be viewed by seven or 700 and the higher number can definitely be an incentive for such works in future, popular Tollywood actor actor Arjun Chakraborty said.
"But even if seven people view it at the outset they can spread the message word-of-mouth," Arjun said.
"Three of my films deal with the issues of 'women harrasment in the digital world', 'the cries of pain and sheer brutalities against the girls forced into escort services' ad 'how marital rape subjugates an unconsenting person' and ask the viewers to take note and sit up," the director said.
"If I can direct four more films - it will culminate in a feature of seven stories and we can screen at theatres. As of now we will be sending the three films to different short film fests," the young director said.
