Love is sometimes an imaginative reality which evolves through the eventuality of life. Director Ranjan Ghosh is back with his new Bengali movie “Ahaa Re” where food and cuisine hold the thread of love in a crossover love story.
The trailer depicts a parallel narrative where one protagonist ( Arifin Shuvoo) is a Muslim chef from Dhaka, Bangladesh and other is a middle class Hindu lady ( Rituparna Sengupta) from Kolkata, India. The trailer is aesthetically poised and beautifully paced. Director Ranjan Ghosh has portrayed human emotions and relations in a distinctive style in his earlier outings – “ Hrid Majharey” and “ Rong Beronger Korhi” and the trailer of “Ahaa Re” creates an aura of freshness.
The film also stars Dipankar De, Shakuntala Barua, Amrita Chattopadhyay and Paran Bandopadhyay and edited by Rabiranjan Maitra.

The Japanese Wife
Aparna Sen has made several memorable films, starting with 36, Chowringhee Lane. Like her mentor Satyajit Ray, she too has this rare ability to take the simplest-looking story and turn it into a cinematic piece de resistance. But in The Japanese Wife, she has done something she has not done ever before. That is, to create an ode to love so poetic that it stays on with you for a long, long time.
The story of The Japanese Wife is quite straightforward at the first glance, and those who have read it, already know its flavour. Author Kunal Basu (who makes a one-scene appearance in the film) conjured up this long-distance love story set at a time when the world used to write letters and trans-continental phone calls were exorbitantly costly. Sen adapts this story to the big screen with a rare, lyrical elegance.
Set in the Sunderbans in West Bengal and Japan,...
