Aparna Sen, by her own admission, has labeled her latest directorial ‘Ghawre Baire Aaj’ as her most ‘political and outspoken’ work till date, which attempts to explore the dark side of society. She also claims a healthy democracy always needs a strong opposition to the government. Aparna insists just like ‘Mr and Mrs Iyer’, this film is about how the outside world affects our home.
So, how controversial is ‘Ghawre bairey Aaj’? We asked Anirban Bhattacharya who plays one of the leads Nikhilesh in the film and the versatile actor promptly points out the positive aspect of controversy.
“Controversy in films is a selling point nowadays, and it’s slowly becoming an essential element. But this film was not made focusing on the controversy, rather on the emotional truth of human beings. So, let there be controversies around how truthful the movie is to today’s time, rather than focusing on how controversial the content is. I feel all individuals are institutions to themselves now, in the age of social media, with their own set standards and agenda. Hence, to expect a healthy debate from society, is not worth it nowadays,” explains Anirban who is enjoying super success with his two back to back films ‘Vinci Da’ and ‘Gumnaami’ this year.
Produced by SVF, ‘Ghawre bairey Aaj’ released this Friday and has been appreciated by critics and cine goers alike.
