Porshi / Neighbours

Synopsis

Like any other metropolitan city, Kolkata is a mix of diverse people. Bappa works as a supervisor in a movers-and-packers company owned by Ratan, his boss, who is almost torment personified. Bappa’s girlfriend, Monika, is running around the city in pursuit of a government job she has already cleared but has not yet received the offer letter for. Choto, a 22-year-old truck driver working under Bappa, is a village boy struggling to discover his own sense of right and wrong amid the bustle of this grey city. Siuli is a homemaker, raising two children and dealing with a drunken husband, never having imagined that her life would be trapped within the claustrophobia of four walls. 

We are all Neighbours - Porshi (in Bengali) - to one another in some way or the other. We never know when we cross paths with a neighbour whose face we may not even recognize. 

Porshi (Neighbours, in english) is a palette of independent colours who never realized that, together, they could form a rainbow.

The director will be present for a post screening discussion.
