Angan’s Nilambala Chhe Ana, at Academy

After the turbulent 1960s, young Nilambala and Uddalak cross into the thunderous calls of the 1970s. Before the stormy chaos settles, life becomes unstable again—then the change of 1977, a breeze of dreamlike euphoria. But again the tide turns, and the river of life becomes a vast low tide. Uddalak, now past sixty, appears like a sage of time with Nilambala, his witness and companion, seemingly mere history. Written by Shantanu Majumdar and directed by Abhi Sengupta.
