   On road, the producer's car broke down, evoking more heat & frustration for the crew members.

   To pass time, they even had  Antakshari & took Auditions at a local Park.    

   And, all this time, 'CHALTE CHALTE BINDASS',  the Camera-Man had kept his CAMERA On..... ..taking up footage of everything that was happening.  

                 Thus the film-‘CCB’ is made---- ONE-TAKE.........UN-CUT.

 Our film 'CCBCO's 2nd part is  'CAMERA ON'    - (Thriller) -  (Duration- 70 minutes)

    This short film starts with the story of ‘Jawhar-Vrata’ where Rajput women sacrificed themselves by setting themselves on fire before they face the shame of losing their dignity.  The scenes of this docu-film, esp. the burning scenes, haunts one of the unit members of the film, an actress who has a troubled past. The actress had also inherited riches.    The actress had a ‘virtual friend’, whom she had found on FB. They have never met but she has started to depend on him & seeks his suggestions on various matters including work.

  The film production unit is run by a strict disciplinarian Film-Maker.  The actress makes some mistakes due to her tense situation and this creates a rift in the unit. There is lots of confusion, fights and even grave injuries.   But before the murder,  the culprit is ultimately found as the ‘CAMERA was ON’.
    Within the film, there will be scenes of LIVE Shooting of film workshop, event coverage like Modeling shows, Cultural programs, Award ceremonies, snippets of Durga Puja, Diwali etc.

North-East Indian rural ambience is the focal theme of Sarswati Puja 2019 of 'Thanthania Yubak Sangha

'

.

    Located about 200 metres from the busy College Street-MG Road intersection in Central Calcutta, this 90 years-old Saraswati Puja is a landmark event of the locality.

   It is continuing with great fanfare since 1932, having started by Jaiswal Sangha. Since 1980, the club - 'Thanthania Yubak Sangha' has taken over the responsibilities of this happening Puja.

   For the very first time, after almost 90 years, this Sarswati Puja has adopted a theme, thanks to writer and film-maker Asish Basak. 

   The small market area will have a brand new look and stunning formation for four days, 8th till 11th February during Saraswati Puja celebrations, presented by Thanthania Yubak Sangha. 

      A  23 ft. high pointed structure, with unfinished edges on top & the symbolic slanting roof, will house the benign Goddess of Learning. The materials used are bamboos, thermocol, fibre, clay, etc.

 The small lane will be decorated with various figurines and artifacts that bear the stamp of Nagas, Mizos and Lepchas and their mystic Art & Culture. 

  During last few Durga Puja and Kali Puja, Asish Basak has done North-East Indian touch projects like 'Nagaland in Nagerbazar',  'M-Factor' at Baranagar, 'Chalte Chalte' at Patuatola. This time Asish Basak has envisioned a rural ambience, with telling impact of mixture of Nagas, Mizos and Lepchas.

      Elaborating more on this ideation, Asish Basak stated that he got this idea of focussing on North-East culture first when he was doing research for his documentary film and book-'Lesser Known Religions in India'. At that juncture, he realized that many people in cosmopolitan Kolkata have very less knowledge about North-Eastern states of India or tribal religion, their customs, art & culture, etc. Hence, he thought Puja theme will be an ideal mass-connect platform to showcase the rich vein of heritage of such exotic places. 

     "We are very excited to present a Theme Puja for the 1st time in our glorious history of this Sabeki Puja of about 90 years old. We have high hopes that 'Theme Partner' Hello Kolkata will make this an unforgettable occasion for all of us," informed Rajesh Jaiswal (Convenor) and Dilip Shaw (Treasurer). 

     Ramesh Thakur Jaiswal (Gen. Secretary), Jawaharlal Jaiswal (President), Manoj Jaiswal (Joint Secy.) and other enthusiastic members of Thanthania Yubak Sangha are waiting with bated breath for the.inauguration on 8th Feb. eve, which will be done by a host of dignitaries, including several political heavyweights.

দূর্গোপুজা নিয়ে বাঙালির অনুভূতিতে আঘাত বরদাস্ত নয়,জানালেন বিজেপি সম্পাদক অমিতাভ রায়

পুজো কমিটি গুলিকে আয়কর দপ্তরের নোটিশ নিয়ে তৃনমূলের কুৎসা ও বিজেপিকে কালিমালিপ্তর বিরুদ্ধে মুখ খুললেন বিজেপি সম্পাদক অমিতাভ রায়। তিনি জানান, ২০১৯ লোকসভা নির্বাচনে তৃনমূলের ভরাডুবি এবং হিন্দু ভোট কে ফিরিয়ে আনতে এই মিথ্যার বাতাবরণ তৈরি করেছে। আসল ব্যাপার টা অমিতাভ বাবু জানান যে, ২০১৮ সালের কিছু ঠিকাদারি সংস্থা সময় মতো আয়কর জমা না দেওয়াতে, পুজো কমিটি গুলিকে চিঠি দিয়ে জানতে চাওয়া হয়েছে।
এছাড়াও কলকাতার বিভিন্ন বড়ো বড়ো পুজো কমিটিতে সারদা,নারদায় এবং চিৎফান্ড কেলেঙ্কারিতে যুক্ত আছেন তৃণমূলের প্রভাবশালী নেতা-মন্ত্রীরা।পুজোতে অনুদানের ক্ষেত্রেও ছিল তাদের জোরজুলুম, কাউকে অন্যদিকে সুবিধা দেওয়ার নামে মোটা অংকের অনুদান ও পেত। এই সময়ে সারা বাংলা জুড়ে বিদ্যুৎ এর প্রবল ঘাটতি দেখা যায়, কিন্তু বিদ্যুৎ এর বিলের ক্ষেত্রেও প্রভাব ঘাটিয়ে সম্পুর্ন বিল পরিশোধ করতো না। যার মাশুল ঘুনতে হতো সাধারণ মানুষ কে, ইউনিট প্রতি বার্ধিত দাম চুকিয়ে। যে পুজো কমিটি গুলি যতো বেশি দর্শনার্থী টানতে পারতো,সেই পুজো কমিটি গুলি বিজ্ঞাপন বাবদ ততো বেশি টাকা আয় করতো। মোদ্দা কথা তৃনমুলের কাছে দুর্গো পুজো টাকা আয়ের আরেকটি উৎস,বললেন অমিতাভ বাবু। তিনি আরও জানান এ বছর অনেক বড় পুজো কমিটি গুলিকে আয়কর দপ্তরের পক্ষ থেকে বিশেষ প্রশিক্ষণ দেওয়া হয়েছে,যাতে করে স্বচ্চতার সংগে পুজো অনুষ্ঠিত করে। দুর্গা পুজার নামে বাঙালির মনে আঘাত দেওয়া এবং যে নোংরা রাজনীতির চেষ্টা শাসক দল চালাচ্ছে, তার বিরুদ্ধে তীব্র আন্দোলন করতেও পিছপা হবে না বিজেপির তরফ থেকে,হুঁশিয়ারী দিয়ে রাখলেন বিজেপির অন্যতম সম্পাদক অমিতাভ রায়।
