Maybe it's not underlined like a regular commercial film, but the nuances are there. I am sure people like Usmaan and Romita (characters in the film) exists in our society. It's so relatable that you will feel emotionally connected with all of them," he said.

The film is directed by Ram Kamal Mukherjee and it has travelled to several films festival including Cardiff International Film Festival and Rajasthan International Film Festival..

The film is a tribute to the late filmmaker Rituporno Ghosh.
