I had even read the books that my father had won as prizes in his youth. I was an avid reader and had read Robert Louis Stevenson, Jules Verne, and all of the Tintin comic books multiple times. I remember first reading it when I had just turned thirteen and was spending a few days during the summer in the ancestral village. It is a film worth experiencing.īut first a few words on the novel Chander Pahar. I went to see the film yesterday in a packed theatre and thought that it lived up to the pre-release hype.
The film based on a short children’s novel written by the Bengali author Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay (who also wrote the source material for Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali, Aparajito, and Ashani Shanket) and produced by media-house Shree Venkatesh Films, is a directorial venture of Kamaleshwar Mukherjee and the biggest-budget film to come out of Kolkata to-date. Chander Pahar (চাঁদের পাহাড়, in English, “Mountain of the Moon”) released across theaters in West Bengal a few days ago to unprecedented anticipation.
