Paayel Sarkar in a love story between a dwarf and an uptown girl

The curse of size still exists in our society. For someone who is a dwarf, it’s a cruel world to live in. Many suffer from dwarfism but what hurts the most is the people’s mentality. Barshali Chatterjee’s new film ‘Kulpi’ takes us on a journey to reflect on what it means to be a person with dwarfism – and why people’s obsession with little people has left lasting damage.

The film stars Paayel Sarkar, Rajatava Dutta, Chumki Chowdhuri, Sabitri Chatterjee, Biswanath Basu and debutant Protyay Ghosh in the title role. The music is being composed by Shree Pritam, Shovan Ganguly and Supratip Bhattacharya.

It’s also a sweet, unconventional love story between a dwarf young man and a beautiful girl. We often don’t care about these people’s feelings and emotions. We forget they too deserve their fair share of happiness and laughter. That’s how Kuldip Roy Chowdhury (Protyay Ghosh) lives his life and dreams of a princess who will be his savior. Nicknamed as Kulpi owing to his tiny size the young lad one day he falls for Kankona (Paayel Sarkar). Sadly, he can’t express his feelings to her but Kankona’s affection and friendship bring a breath of fresh air in Kulpi’s life. What happens next forms the crux of the story.

Love doesn’t care about age, race or caste barriers. May many such Kankonas hold the hands of people like Kulpis. Our society belongs to all!
