While he balances between a corporate career and his passion for filmmaking like a pro, director
Indrasis Acharya is an inspiration to many, especially for aspiring independent filmmakers. The critically acclaimed filmmaker had floored us with his last film ‘
The Parcel
’ which was re-released post-pandemic.
The film has received appreciation from all corners while it continues its festival round. The latest honour for ‘The Parcel’ is an official selection at the prestigious
New York Indian film festival
2021.
‘Parcel’ is a simple yet beautiful story that is relevant, immersive and one that has a strong connect. Indrasis is someone who wants to go deep inside human emotional crises to explore them the way they are in reality as we have seen in his previous two films ‘Biloo Rakkhosh’ and ‘
Pupa
’. He loves to narrate human stories which can stir the mind without going emotionally overboard. Parcel has a non-explicit, realistic and open-ended script.
Here in the film,
Rituparna Sengupta and
Saswata Chatterjee play a doctor couple with a teenage daughter. Rituparna’s character
Nandini
starts receiving her pictures, new and old, in parcels from some unknown sender. This leads to a fear psychosis in her mind and she starts suspecting a few known people around her. Meanwhile, Saswata’s character suffers a setback when a death occurs at the hospital and a crisis develops around whether it was a natural death or was it due to his negligence. These two crises lead to the main crisis in the movie.
