Chatterjee's silent film "HOME" praised in New Delhi

Sujoy Prasad Chatterjee's silent film "HOME" received high praise at the I View World International Film Festival in New Delhi. The screening took place at Travancore Palace and attracted a diverse audience, including author Taslima Nasreen. The theater was completely full, with viewers captivated by the film's visuals and its exploration of gender. Presented by Rituparna Sengupta, "HOME" is a personal interpretation of a poem by Arundhathi Subramaniam. The film communicates its message through striking imagery rather than spoken words. Rituparna highlighted Chatterjee's talent, saying, "Sujoy is a powerhouse. I am glad I could present this film." The film seemed to resonate strongly with the audience. Educationist Madhuban Ganguly described the experience as trance-like and imaginative. He said, "I am soaking in every bit of it." Even after the screening, discussions about "HOME" continued. One audience member wrote to Chatterjee, complimenting the powerful visuals and unique interpretation of the poem. They appreciated how the film told a story without relying on dialogue.
