She opted for marriage when she was at the top."To me marriage was imperative for motherhood. In a society, I could never impose my own morality on my children.

Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury is looking to release an Hindi version of his debut Bengali film “Anuranan” this Friday. Roy told IANS that“Although ‘Anuranan’ is a culture-specific film, the theme is universal. And why should anyone have any objection to a Bengali film getting a national market?

Rahul Bose and Rituparna Sengupta play a couple that moves back to Kolkata after living in London for a few years. Here they meet Rajat Kapoor and Raima Sen and they become friends. It is the lives of these four friends that create a resonance, a chord that echoes through their present and future. “Yes it was,” admits the director. “But the theatrical and DVD releases were only in Bengali. The dubbing into Hindi was done with my active participation. In fact, linguistically I had say the Hindi version is more authentic than Bengali. “In Bengali, Rajat Kapo...
