Bengali feature film Teenkahon (Three Obsessions) that won
the Best Screenplay award and Special Mention of the Jury for Cinematography at
the Bridge Film Fest at Mitrovica, Kosovo had its Indian Premiere at the Mumbai
Film Festival yesterday and not at the Kolkata Film Festival that will be
happening next month. Teenkahon that marks
the directorial debut of advertising filmmaker Bauddhayan Mukherji and is
independently produced by his Mumbai-based production company, Little Lamb
films was featured in “New Faces in Indian cinema” section.
Teenkahon that features Dhritiman Chaterji, Rituparna
Sengupta, Ashish Vidyarthi, Joy Sengupta,
Kharaj Mukherjee and Sabyasachi Chakraborty, among others, is spread
over a hundred years. The three stories are structured in the manner of the
classical Three Act Play with each story exploring one facet of an obsessive
relationship outside the purview of marriage. Each story is a vignette of the
period it is set in and looks at the populist trends of the time which has been
restored in terms of props, costumes, make up and hair etc. and these films
have been digitally manipulated to imitate color processes that were available
in India during the periods in which each film is set.
Teenkahon is set for a theatrical release in 2015.
