Dreamcatcher

“I am glad that my film on a simple dream of a not-conventionally-successful man has found a coveted space in the Masters of World Cinema section of the Toronto International Film Festival this year. Janala is an attempt to be reminiscent of the times when we sometimes try to make a simple dream come true,but the cogs of destiny leave us feeling unfulfilled,” says Dasgupta.

Adds Mahesh Ramanathan,COO,Big Pictures,“Before Buddhadeb started his film,he was sure that “Janala” was his finest script. Now the film is sure to be rated by connoisseurs of world cinema as Buddhadeb’s finest film. This is a momentous first entry for Big Pictures in the biggest film festival in North America.”

Janala is the journey of a solitary man against the wrath of circumstances,when he decides to pursue his little impulsive dream. An accidental visit to his school in Jhumurpur village prompts the protagonist,Bimal to believe that it is his turn to give back to his alma mater.

But when the moneylender fails to pay him the promised sum,Bimal discreetly uses the money that his fiancée Meera had been saving for their soon-to-born child. But when he reaches his school with the window,the authorities reject it. When Meera learns about the money spent by Bimal she leaves him.
