The link for the film ishttp://Bit.ly/smcinemaclassicBhuvan Shome is a lonely widower, a proud old man, and a disciplinarian. Looking back on the trodden path, strewn with staunch determination and drab attitudes, Bhuvan Shome, a thoroughly unenchanted man, takes a day off and walks into another world—a new world consisting of simple uninitiated village folk. There he rides a bullock cart, encounters a buffalo, and finally a village belle. Off to duck shooting amidst the sand dunes, suddenly everything lights up. A day’s exposure to a host of alien situations deepens his sense of loneliness. He realizes that he has no escape from the world which he has built for himself all these years. Prof. Anjali Gera Roy, from the Humanities department of IIT Kharagpur, will be us to share her thoughts on the film.
Please do join us.
