About the movie:

PROJAPOTI | dir. Subrata Sen | India | 110min.

The film is a contemporary take based on a famous Bengali novel, which was banned in 1967 on the grounds of obscenity – Prajapati by Samaresh Basu. The story revolves around the protagonist Sukhen who is seen through three phases of his life. The journey of this youth is showcased through the milieu in a small-town in Bengal, an underbelly of Kolkata, where crime, grit and violence play an important role in a subaltern society.
