Bangladeshi style consultant part of "Shesher Kabita" crew

Staff Correspondent
Award-winning Indian filmmaker Suman Mukhopadhyay's upcoming film “Shesher Kabita” has Bangladeshi fashion designer Goutom Saha, as a style consultant. The adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's famed work casts Rahul Bose and Konkona Sen Sharma as Amit and Labanya respectively. Costumes of the actors were conceptualised and recommended by Saha.
“As it is a period film, how the characters should look was my concern. I worked on the style while two Indian designers developed the costumes,” said Saha.
Mukhopadhyay was in Dhaka last month during the Selim Al Deen Festival. Talking about the cinematic adaptation of the hugely popular Tagore novel, he said that he had always wanted to see the work in a new light. “As we know 'Shesher
Kabita' is a romantic novel, but it has a deeper humanistic approach as well. It's kind of a dossier of womanhood to me,” said Mukhopadhyay.
Moreover, he informed that apart from “Shesher Kabita" he is also working on another film “Kangal Malsat” at present. Both the films are in postproduction stage and will see their
release next year.
Saha informed that he was elated to be a part of “Shesher Kabita".
"Mukhopadhyay is a perfectionist. He cares a lot about his films. My involve-
ment in the film came about when I met the director during a programme in Kolkata,” he said.
The oft-read novel follows Amit Ray, a barrister educated at Oxford. He meets Labanya through a turn of events and their romance brews up in the misty hills of Shillong.
The novel also contains references to a development in Bangla literature. A younger group of writers were trying to escape from the all-encompassing influence of Rabindranath, often by satirising his work.
This issue will be an important aspect in Mukhopadhyay's film.
Saha informed that the shooting of the film took place in Shillong, Cherrapunji, Kolkata and at Oxford University, UK.
Mukhopadhyay won the Indian National Award for Best Bengali Film in 2006 for his debut work "Herbert”. The film also won the Audience Award at the Dhaka International Film Festival in the same year.
