Written by Cinobo

Ray performs a detailed psychogram of celebrity, an insightful meditation on art, fame and the disappointments that accompany it, starring Utham Kumar, one of Bengal's biggest film stars in a rare moment of interpretive introspection.

Synopsis

Aridam, a famous film star, travels by train from Kolkata to Delhi, where all the passengers recognise him and try to approach him. However, Aditi, a young journalist in a women's magazine, feels contempt for the publicity he enjoys. Wanting to write an article for her magazine, she approaches him in order to learn about the void all that publicity leaves in a man's soul.
