Rasika Duggal's Kshay to be screened at Bandra Film Festival |
Kshay revolves around Chhaya (Rasika Dugal) who gets enamoured by a white statue of goddess Laxmi and wants to have it at any cost. The husband, who is struggling to make ends meet, agrees to get it once he has money. Soon, however, her desire takes an obsessive turn to disastrous consequences.
Rasika, who recently impressed audiences with her power packed performance in Out of Love season 2, is excited over the screenings of her film at the Bandra Film Festival.
Rasika said that doing a script driven film like Kshay was a treat for her as an actor.
'I am so happy with the love this film has received over the years. Kshay was shot on a shoestring budget over weekends with a four member crew. We travelled to set on Karan's (director Karan Gour ) bike, did our own make up and finally dubbed the film in a two bedroom house at midnight to avoid traffic noise. Kshay was my first film in a lead part and the experience of being Chhaya in a character driven script was a treat for an actor.
With Kshay, I received appreciation for my performance from critics in different parts of the world when the film travelled to film festivals and also on its release in India. It was very encouraging to have my work reviewed like that. It made me believe that there is a pay off to brave decisions, hard work and believing in what you are doing when most others didn't. I am delighted the film is part of this film festival and I hope through BFF's platform more people will know about it,'Rasika Dugal said.
The line up of films to be screened this week includes 'Khyanikaa', directed by Amartya Bhattacharyya. A fantasy driven tale of two men, a poet and a painter, claiming possession over the same idea, in a rural setup portrayed as a wonderland, Khyanikaa stars Amartya Bhattacharyya, Choudhury Jayaprakash Das and Chaitali Gharami.
Also scheduled to be screened this week is 'Naach Ganesh', a short drama directed by Bikas Mishra. A story about a tribal dancer who has to choose between survival and preserving his family tradition of ritual Ganseh dancing, Naach Ganesh also stars Hemant Mahto, Aganu Kumar and Balram Mahto.
Bandra Film Festival (BFF) is a digital film festival presented by Filmkaravan in collaboration with YouTube with an aim to provide a solid platform that helps lesser known films and filmmakers reach a wider audience virtually. The programming cuts across formats and genres and is arguably one of the most inclusive cinematic endeavours of our times.
