‘Ahaa Re’ had left a lasting impression among the Bengali movie buffs when it released last year and since then it has earned
Ranjan Ghosh several prestigious festival laurels and appreciation from all corners. Now, the latest official selection for ‘Ahaa Re’ is the FFSI Online Film Festival which starts on June 7. The relationship drama stars
Rituparna Sengupta and Bangladeshi actor Arifin Shuvoo in the lead.
“Glad to share with you all that #AhaaRe has been selected as the inaugural feature film to open the 1st edition (June 7th - 14th) of the #FFSIOnlineFilmFestival, presented by the Federation of Film Societies of India. This is an incredible honour. Our film will now be available for viewing for a week via a non-downloadable link with piracy-detection software. Do watch and share your feedback, friends,” an excited Ranjan shared the news on social media.
‘Ahaa re’ revolves around a rich Muslim chef from Dhaka (Arifin Shuvoo) and a middle-class Hindu home cook from Calcutta (Rituparna Sengupta). She specializes in traditional Bengali cuisine while Arifin is a master of Bangladeshi dishes. The duo meets and discovers love through their shared passion for food and cooking. The film is as much about love as it is about life's struggles and explores why and how our religious identities should take a backseat when there are so many inspiring stories around us.
