Rituparna Sengupta, a well-known star in Bengali cinema, has gained more recognition for her most recent film, Puratawn, by taking home two esteemed accolades. Rituparna Sengupta and renowned actress Sharmila Tagore were recognized for their exceptional contributions to the film at the DC South Asian Film Festival, marking a momentous occasion for the industry. Sharmila Tagore won Best Actress for her striking performance as the film’s mother, while Rituparna took home the Best Film prize for helming Puratawn.
Following this triumph, the performers were asked to attend a special showing of the movie at the India International Film Festival of Boston, where Sharmila Tagore was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her ongoing contributions to the film industry. Sharmila’s daughter Saba Ali Khan Pataudi added even more elegance to the occasion, making it a truly remarkable family gathering. The three of them had a great discussion on movies, pop culture, and other topics.
Bengali Cinema’s Return of Sharmila Tagore After a 14-year break, renowned actress Sharmila Tagore makes her Bengali film debut in Puratawn. The film, which was directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Suman Ghosh, delves into the complex and emotional bond between a mother (played by Tagore) and her daughter (Rituparna Sengupta). As the son-in-law, actor Indraneil Sengupta also has a big part. Three National Award winners—Suman Ghosh, Sharmila Tagore, and Rituparna Sengupta—worked together to produce the movie through Bhavna Aaj O Kal, Rituparna’s own production company. The result is a masterpiece of cinema.
