SHOB CHARITRO KALPONIK's selection in the Panorama Section of Durban film festival is a first ever premier for a Bengali film in the African continent.

SHOB CHARITRO KALPONIK is the story of Radhika's journey into the life of her late poet-husband, Indraneel and the revelations and contradictions she learns about Indraneel as a poet and husband. She realizes how much he romanticized their mundane, everyday life. Yet in reality, he was often insensitive, negligent and apathetic towards her. She wonders about his dual identity. How can a poet be unaware of his day-to-day realities, yet highlight moments from it in his art? Is art essentially an artifice?
