Based
on a raging controversial novel of the 80’s CALCUTTA, UNABASHED - (Bibar)
deals with the angst of city youth in Calcutta, who are caught
between the lures of a new, liberalized society and fast-fading
traditional values. Biresh (Subrat Dutta – product of National
School of Drama, India) an investigating officer in a finance
company is at heart a bohemian with no rigid values in life. In
love, he is caught in a psycho-sexual relationship with a high
society call girl Nita (Tannishtha Chatterjee - German film “Shadows
of Time” by Florian Gallenberger and French Film “Let the wind
blow”). |

In
his office, his position becomes bleak as he refuses a loan to an
influential person. He starts drinking heavily and starts visiting
Sonagachhi, the infamous red-light area of Calcutta with his painter
friend Hiren (Shiladitya Patranobish). He also gets attracted
towards a model, Iti (Payel Sarkar). Biresh, in a bout of
self-destruction, vents his anger and frustration by strangling
Nita, and stages his alibi through Iti. The Police start
investigating, but are unable to establish any motive behind the
killing. |

CALCUTTA, UNABASHED is contemporary. CALCUTTA, UNABASHED is bold.
CALCUTTA, UNABASHED is about the decline of traditional Indian
values and the utter confusion that has grabbed urban India after
the opening up of the economy. |
