- DirectorKamaleswar MukherjeeStarsSaswata ChatterjeeAnanya ChatterjeeAbir ChatterjeeTo Ritwik Ghatak film was not merely a form of entertainment, but a weapon, a medium to portray struggle of common men. He was successful neither in his career nor he could he become a good family man or husband. Still he was an artist who never compromised for personal gain, fame or profit. The story of the film starts in 1969 and deals with Ritwik Ghatak's time spent in a mental asylum. It shows Nilkantha being admitted to mental asylum under the supervision of Doctor S. P. Mukherjee. S. P. Mukherjee learns that the Prime Minister of India knows Nilkantha and is fond of his works and may request the hospital authority to take special care of him. In the hospital a police officer sees Nilkantha and tells Doctor Mukherjee that he is a wasted drunkard. Another patient of hospital mocks Nilkantha as "disgraced intellectual". Even he was undergoing treatment in the hospitals, he writes a play and stages it with other asylum patients. The film shows how Durga (Nilkantha's wife) wants to leave him saying "separation is essential". Nilkantha witnessed partition of Bengal and its devastating effect and in his youth became attracted towards communism. Throughout the film Nilkantha's mental agony, struggles, inner contradictions, disappointments as well as financial troubles faced by him are shown. He clearly tells, it is not possible for him to make entertaining or commercial films. During a discussion Nilkantha asks Doctor Mukherjee that should a man perfome mujra at a time when the society is burning? He also tells Doctor Mukherjee that he is a "people's artist" and that is his job. The film also shows the atmosphere of Bengal during Tebhaga and Naxalite movements. A scene has been shown in the film where a book named "How to be a good communist?" is burning. This scene symbolises Ghatak's dissatisfaction with India's communist politics. When Durga tells Nilkantha that they don't have a single rupee to run the family, Nilkantha readily replies, it is not money but it is one's work which will remain forever.

- DirectorRituparno GhoshStarsJisshu SenguptaRiya SenRaima SenMonths after an accident following his marriage, a husband finds that the veiled woman he brought home is not his wife.
- DirectorAtanu GhoshStarsBhaskar BanerjeeAnjana BasuSabyasachi ChakrabartyAngshuman, a young film director, comes back from Italy after eight years, having studied cinema there, to make his first film. He puts up a determined fight against all obstacles to complete his film. He picks an unusual script on which he is not prepared to compromise. The story is about a 72-year-old painter who is suffering from dementia. The painter has an illiterate ayah who looks after him. Anghsuman chooses an old actor Pradyut Mukherjee, a matinee idol at one time who has cut himself from the mainstream as much as he has cut himself away from films. Anghsuman persuades the actor to portray the character of the old painter. For the role of the ayah, the new director chooses Madhura, an actress who won the National Award for her debut film but lost her way somewhere in the maze of commercial cinema and then receded into the background. When Angshuman approaches her, she is reduced to a jatra artist who is a social recluse. As shooting begins, there is this continuous interaction between the actual character and those within the film. In fact, there is, as if, an exchange of molecules between the two. So, film-within-film is not just a form in Angshumaner Chhobi but is also embedded within the plot of the story. As Angshuman struggles to achieve his goal of making a very good first film, the story passes through many mutations - emotional drama, humour, and the detection of crime. Along the way, other issues come up. Among these are (a) the eternal tussle faced by every creative person between his mind and his emotions, (b) the psyche of being in and out of the limelight, (c) the inevitable pangs of conscience and humanism faced by celebrities, etc.

- DirectorKaushik GangulyStarsAparajita AdhyaAnjana BasuRahul BosePeople in primitive times connected through people. And then there was a time when people wrote letters to connect, and letters took long to arrive. With advancement in technology, snail mail has taken a backseat, and connecting with people is now at our fingertips. From time immemorial, lives have been connected with other lives... Kolkata is a city which is an amalgamation of primitive life and the best of the techno-savvy world. On one side you still have more than half of its population living below the poverty line, combating illiteracy, while on the other side, you have a sizeable urban population that is connected by mobile phones and computers. It is in this world that we start our story, in which a single commodity - a laptop, connects so many lives and so many stories, as it changes hands and changes lives.

- DirectorMainak BhaumikStarsSwastika MukherjeeShauvik KundagramiParambrata Chattopadhyay"A love letter to Calcutta," declares Mainak. "It's about a typical Bengali family of dadu (grandfather), parents and three brothers and their love interests. Then there's the Marwari community which plays a big part in today's cosmopolitan Calcutta. This is a film about the Calcutta we see now. It's urban and young and yet the Bong idiosyncrasies are very much there."
