Film on the battle for survival in Sundarbans set for theatrical release

Tags of bright red cloth blowing among the slender stems of trees are sometimes the only signs of human habitation in parts of the dense, daunting, and lush green mangroves of the Sundarbans. But bright though they are, these pieces of cloth are a sign of mourning, tied to a tree each time a tiger kills a human at the spot of the incident. As environmental pressures reduce livelihood options, Sundarbans offer a story of battle for survival every day.The reasons vary and that’s what director Pradip Mistri is set to explore in his film ‘Sundarboner Goppo’. After its critically acclaimed festival rounds, now the film is gearing up for its theatrical release.

The slice-of-a-life drama has two child actors Avinash Rai and Rohini Sen along with Shantilal Mukharjee, Debesh Roychowdhury, Sandip Mandal, Shantanu Das Chitra Mukharjee, Sujit Mukharjee, and others in pivotal roles.
