Over the years,
IFFI has gained the reputation of being
one of the most awaited events amongst cinema lovers from around the globe.
It’s an attempt to weave the audience and filmmakers through a narrative that
combines culture, language and the heritage of different visions. Atanu
Mukherjee, director of the Hindi feature film, ‘Rukh’ and Pooja Gupte –
cinematographer of the movie promoted their film at IFFI 2017. The movie talks
the journey of a boy, Dhruv, who studies at a boarding school way away from his
home. He is not aware about the problems happening inside his home till he gets
news of his father passing away. He is in a dilemma whether his father has
actually passed away or it’s a planned murder. That forms the crux of the
story.
Atanu Mukherjee said,
“It’s a great honour and I’m excited to be part of IFFI. Shooting my debut film
has been a great journey – right form conceiving the idea and developing it –
it was a memorable journey. I’m happy that it’s a part of festival.”
Pooja
Gupte added, “Manish Mundra is one of the finest producers and he picks up
scripts that he has supported including ‘Aankho Dekhi’ among others has been
commendable. I’m glad that he has supported us throughout the film. He is
someone who everybody looks out to work with.”
