Arjunn Dutta’s film Deep Fridge, starring Abir Chatterjee, Tnusree, Debjani Chatterjee, Anuradha Mukherjee, Shoaib Kabeer, and Lakshya Bhattacharya, is now an official selection at the Bengaluru International Film Festival. The film tells the story of Swarnava (Abir Chatterjee) and Mili (Tnusree) who are victims of a vicious, prejudiced idea of a perfectly happy marriage.

Swarnava is a sought-after economist whose fiscal and analytical articles are taken very seriously since it’s relevant and pertinent in today’s economic scenario. He is a man of few words, extremely chivalrous and has a very good sense of humour, he loves his son Tatai immensely. Mili is an HR manager in a reputed MNC. She is a bit rigid and gets prompted by natural instinct. At the same time, she is an extremely responsible woman and a natural caregiver whose world revolves around her son.

“I’ve always been a keen observer and have been intrigued by interpersonal dynamics. Divorce has become a common aspect of today’s society more than ever before yet we refuse to talk about it. I’ve seen couples around me who are not happy in their marriages and in the course of time, they got divorced. But one thing has always absorbed me, does the essence of the old connection wane away completely or it lasts somewhere deep inside the heart forever? And also the one who suffers the most in the entire process is the child if there is any. That innocent also needs to get the best guardianship and care. So Deep Fridge chronicles the journey of such a couple with a child post their divorce. I strongly believe in the fact that cinema has always been a reflection of our society. I like telling humane stories which are close to reality, tales of flesh and blood people. We see diverse people around us with different character traits thereby painting a myriad of human emotions,” said Arjunn.
