Societies are supposed to be about respectful cohabitation. Still, discrimination is ingrained in most of them. Be it based on race, religion, caste or colour, humans always find a way to discriminate against other humans.
Discrimination due to colour is still rampant in west and east likewise. Indians, even after predominantly being a brown-skinned country, strangely look down upon black or dark-skinned fellow humans. One one side they are known for their obsession with white skin, on the other side, ironically, they are not comfortable around people who are “white” due to a skin condition called albinism.
“The Sunflower” is 17 min short film which revolves around this subject of albinism and how our society is apathetic and inhuman to the persons with this skin condition. The film is made as a tribute to Govindarao Harishankar – The Khanjira-Drummer Legend, who was also Albino. This master of percussions named “Khanjira” was honoured...

Srijit Mukherji is unarguably the most prolific filmmaker of contemporary Bengali cinema. He switches from intimate human portraits to wide-canvassed bio-pics with the ease and fluency of a pro.
This time it's the controversial nature of Subhas Chandra Bose's life and death that occupies his creative spectrum. Based on the controversial Mukherjee Commission Hearings, the film fuses a fictional Orson Welles-inspired hero who, like Citizen Kane, sets out to uncover the truth about the death of Netaji, with a fund of historical facts that permeate imminently into the narrative.
It is a fascinating character study of an obstinate leader determined to free India from foreign rule, though the film is not fully freed of foreign influences. Ironically, Anirban Bhattacharya as the Netaji-obsessed journalist Chandrachur Dhar gets much more footage than Bose, who is played by the redoubtable Prosenjit Chatterjee as a cheerless (didn't Netaji ever smile?), stoic, mumbling...

Prashant Narayanan, brilliant in his award-winning role as a vicious serial killer in Murder 2, is known to be very particular about whom he works with. In the past, he has turned down plum roles in prestigious assignments merely because he wasn't happy with his co-stars. That explains the scarcity of assignments in this brilliant actor's career. Last week, on location for Manish Gupta's political thriller Main Nahin Anna at Madh Island, Prashant apparently refused to shoot when he saw his co-star was the veteran bit-player Manmauji who plays Anna Hazare in Gupta's film. On seeing Manmauji, Prashant Naryanan threw a fit. Reportedly the actor came to blows with his director over the issue. Says the harrowed director Gupta, "Prashant refused to shoot with Manmauji arguing that someone else was supposed to play Anna Hazare. It is true, actor Surendra Rajan was supposed to play Anna Saab. But Surendra...
