Every single person is political: Aparna Sen on her new film Ghawre Bairey Aaj and the need for a moderate voice
Unlike the novel or Satyajit Ray’s film, where the politics of the author is not only blatant but his allegiance is foregrounded, Aparna Sen is more nuanced, less blatant in her adaptation of Gharey Bairey.
Aparna Sen apologises profusely for being late. She folds her hands and literally stoops for arriving twenty minutes later than the scheduled time for her session at the Jagran Film Festival. “There was some miscommunication. I hate being late. I am always punctual. In fact, I am known for it,” she says, reminding how Friday was an anomaly. Later, when someone reminds her of her maladaptive relationship with time — she has made only 13 films in her long-spanning career — Sen is apologetic again. The statement was uttered in jest but she takes responsibility for it. “I only make films when I have something to say,” she asserts. Sen as a filmmaker is keenly aware of the time we are living in, and her latest film, Ghawre Bairey Aaj bears a fitting testimony to it
