@SHEKARSUSHEEL Smita..I always keep a her a notch above the best of the best. Why was she so short-lived. Maybe that was the destiny of her greatness. Even in this film with author backed role for Shabana, she stole the show . Effortless timeless priceless.
A devastating day for us. We lost Anik Dutta today.
He was one of the sharpest, most uncompromising filmmakers we had. In a business constantly driven by safe choices and market machinations, he genuinely didn’t care about playing the game. He spoke his mind, consequences be damned.
When Bhooter Bhobishyot released, it completely redrew the map of Bengali cinema for all of us, proving that razor-sharp intelligence and commercial success could coexist.
But beyond the biting satire, I will always remember his absolute reverence for the craft. Nobody understood, loved, and cared for Satyajit Ray’s cinema quite like he did.
Thank you for the films, the unapologetic truth, and the fierce inspiration. Rest in peace, Anik-da. You will be so deeply missed.
Jayaraj kept his mobile shop open past 9pm during lockdown.
Police came. Took him away.
His son Bennix heard about it and rushed to the station to check on his father.
They let him in.
Then locked the door.
Both were stripped. Tied down on a wooden table. Beaten with lathis every 10 minutes through the night.
Their blood splattered the walls.
The next morning police took them to a doctor who gave them a fitness certificate.
Then to a magistrate who remanded them to jail without even looking at them properly.
Bennix died on June 22. Jayaraj died on June 23.
Yesterday a court found all 9 police officers guilty of murder.
It took 6 years.
Sentencing is on March 30.
The FIR said Jayaraj and Bennix rolled on the ground and used obscene language.
CCTV from the shop next door showed nothing of that sort happened.
The case against them was completely fabricated.
They died for a crime they never committed.
@thekaipullai Oh the entitlement level of sarkari babus..volumes can be written bigger than iliad and odyssey and still not complete. Why don't we start with the creme-de-la-creme, the upsc ones. I have never found even one to be polite enough to he considered human.
