Khancha to be world premiered

Rituparna Sengupta-starrer Khancha, which talks about how every woman is fettered inside an invisible cage in this world, will be world premiered at Dubai.
"I greatly identify with the women characters of the film, representing different economic strata but all on the same boat so far facing the brunt of sexist slur and what you call atrocities," Rituparna told PTI here.
Director Raja Sen said "While we had been getting positive audience feedback about the film since its release on Friday, I am proud to announce we will screen the film for the international audience at Dubai in this month."

Dubbing 'Khancha's story about the bonding between a high society career woman and a girl from border districts, who is saved from traffickers, as universal, Rituparna, the Dahan-actor said, "Khancha dwells on the issue of the trapping of us, our selves, with or without our knowledge," she said.
"As a woman and as a citizen I feel saddened with the incidents of outraging modesty of women, brutalising her and the dishonour to women. We have to come out of the situation in whichever way possible and such films are to be seen by people," Rituparna, having essayed a lot of women centric roles in past, said.

Director Sen, who recalls how difficult it was to arrange an outdoor shot outside a station in rural North 24 Parganas district, said the film was his take on all recent incidents from Kamduni to Park Street and Nirbhaya in Delhi and elsewhere all ove the world.
"Even despite her exalted social and career positions, Rituparna's character, who is estranged from husband, faces taunts while rescuing the trafficked girl from a border village," Sen said.
"Going by the incidents like the one involving a high-profile editor to a working woman's predicament at office, from the husband having estranged later on, to office higher-ups, to former in-laws and even ownn family. Look around yourself, you will find that real," the acclaimed family-drama 'Atmiyoswajan' director said.
