Uma, Srijit Mukherji’s upcoming film and SVF’s next venture released the final song from the film’s music album, titled ‘Ure Jaak’.
Sung by Anupam Roy, who also happens to be the composer of this melancholy number and the Music Director of the film. Ure Jaak depicts the struggle of a fallen film Director, Brahmananda, played by the effervescent Actor-Director, Anjan Dutt. Once renowned and very much sought for, now Brahmananda is a mess with alcohol being his only friend. For him, cinema is everything in life and the dream he chooses to built for 8 year old terminally ill, Uma (Sara Sengupta) is a creation of his best of his work. He finally found a reason to fight a battle and his own too, in the process. The audience will see his past in the flashback sequences and his present in the song. The latter is being dominated by a little girl’s dream, to put a smile on her face, and she ultimately makes him realise his faults and change his perception of life. Once a defeated man, will Brahmananda rise from his ashes to become what he never had the courage to be?
Srijit Mukherji, optimistic about the film, exclaimed – “Anjan Dutt’s character plays a pivotal role in Uma. Before the release of the film on 1st June, it was essential to make the audience realise what he is and why he is that. Uma, the film is not only about Uma herself and her father Himadri, but also very much about this Director who helps create a fictional world for a child.”
Uma, slated to release on 1st of June, has already been recognised by New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF) 2018, London Indian Film Festival (LIFF) 2018, India Film Festival of Alberta (IFFA) 2018, Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2018, Reelworld Film Festival Toronto 2018, Birmingham Indian Film Festival 2018 and Habitat Film Festival New Delhi 2018. The storyline is about a vibrant young girl named Uma who is fighting for her life, her helpless father striving hard to make his daughter’s dream come true of celebrating Durga Puja. How many hurdles and dangers would Himadri have to overcome to be able to bring a smile onto his daughter’s face?
The film is inspired from the true story of Evan Leversage, the Canadian boy suffering from cancer and for whom his village of St. George, Ontario came together to celebrate Christmas much ahead of the actual festival.
