Nobel Chor premier show

With Toni and Barkha

February 17, 2012: There were three invitations this evening, one was the launch of On Tagore by Amit Chaudhuri at the Oxford Bookstore, the other was an invitation from The Consul General of the Russian Federation, Mr Vladimir V Lazarev to a presentation function of the Kaluga region of Russia and Dialogue of Cultures – United World Foundation followed by a reception at the Galaxy Hall of The Park and finally there was the Premier of Bengali feature film Nobel Chor at Priya.

I decided to skip the first two and went to Nobel Chor premier show. The film, directed by Suman Ghosh (picture), is a work of fiction inspired by the real incident.

But the way Mithun acted in the film, there is no doubt that the crowds would rush to the theatres.

Suman’s direction has proved that simplicity is still the best thing and has its own charm. I met the usual film premier crowd of Kolkata at this premier show.
