Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Boli adapts the Western 'stranger rides into town' trope for South Asian post-colonial power dynamics — the island setting evokes real disputed territories and riverine borderlands.
Dasgupta has called Chanchal Chowdhury 'the only actor who could make Sohrab sympathetic without asking for sympathy' — notice how he performs power through who he DOESN'T look at.
