As a filmmaker, there is no better reward than seeing your film resonating with audiences all across."The story is the journey of a father and his son and how the father relives his entire childhood through the eyes of his son. The story revolves around a sublime bond between a father, Apu, and his 6-year-old son Kajol who lost his mother to an unpropitious fate during his birth. Apu finally bids farewell to his village, his city, his motherland and embarks on a spirited journey with Kajol and friend Shankar. They go in search of new beginnings, to unexplored terrains in a faraway land.Talking about the awards at CIFFB, producer Gaurang Jalan said, "This year has been remarkable for 'Avijatrik'. We set out to make a film that would be a befitting tribute to maestros Satyajit Ray, Soumitra da (Soumitra Chatterjee) and Pandit Ravi Shankar. As a producer, I am very happy with such a heartwarming response from film festivals all over the world."The music of the film is given by Bickram Ghosh while the title track is a variation by Anoushka Shankar, of her father Pandit Ravi Shankar's iconic 'Pather Panchali' theme.'Avijatrik' stars Arjun Chakrabarty, Ditipriya Roy and Arpita Chatterjee in key roles.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
