DIploma Project for the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute in Kolkata, “Salana Jalsa” had its world premiere at the 23rd Shanghai International Film Festival and has screened at many prestigious festivals since. In March (2022), Pratik Thakare is taking part in the Pop Up Film Residency Program, in Bratislava.
The story takes place in Samruddhi High School, during the preparations for the school’s annual day. While the coccasion seems like a source of joy for all the participants, three students are quite disappointed, although for different reasons. Amey wants to recite a heartfelt poem he wrote, but finds out he has not made the cut, also because the 3-minute duration of his work seems too long to the teacher in charge of the program. Ambitious Sneha is scheduled to perform in a traditional dancing number, but she has set her eyes towards the modern dancing part of one of her friends.
