MUMBAI: LIVE on
‘Whatte Fun Mornings’ in studio of Mumbai’s Radio City 91.1FM with
Singh-Chana, was critically acclaimed actor Nandita Das for the promotion of her
upcoming directorial venture ‘Firaaq’. After
being the toast of critics at several international film festivals, Nandita Das's
directorial venture Firaaq is all set to hit theatres in India on March 20, 2009.
Nandita shared her experience about the world premiere of the movie that was held
on September 5, 2008 at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival.
Talking
about ‘Firaaq’ and the adulation it has got so far, Nandita comments
that “Firaaq is an Urdu word that means both separation and quest. It is
a human relationship film about the impact of violence on our lives. How different
relationships unfold a month after carnage, over a period of 24 hours. Firaaq
is about how violence lingers on much after the obvious manifestation is over.
In fact there is hardly any violence in the film but you feel the fear, the tension.
It is an ensemble film that traces the emotional journeys of ordinary people -
some who were victims, some perpetrators and some who chose to watch silently.
It is a mirror to our own prejudices, fears, anger, desire for peace and hope
and deals with universal human emotions’. |
