Ashoke Viswanathan’s film Hemanter Aparanha takes audiences on a poignant journey of love, loss, and the transformative power of art. The film is a dynamic and dramatic visual exploration of the tensions of life during the pandemic and also of the atmosphere in a world shaken by the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. The team recently got together for the trailer launch at Hindusthan Club.

“This film has a narrative that constantly keeps you engaged with questions relating to life after retirement and life after death, desire and despair and how the young people of today are so alive to a changing world replete with virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence. In the background are the menacing resultants of the lockdown and war in the Ukraine and Gaza. This presentation has been orchestrated by Amit Agarwal, a filmmaker in his own right and me. I am also happy that Amit has worked as a trailer editor for me after a long time. He has earlier worked with me as an editor for my award-winning documentaries and film trailers. The trailer of Hemanter Aparanha has come up very well and he has done a great job this time too,” said Ashoke Viswanathan.

“As a producer of the film I am feeling very content. I loved the story, its message and the manner in which Ashokeda has executed the film. Like his earlier intellectual works, this film too has a similar flavour but with an amazing narrative. This film is going to cater to a mass audience which includes the youth and the elderly both, especially theatre and film buffs. It is a family film as it has many elements and messages to inspire and influence everyone. It was also an amazing experience to work as a trailer editor for the film after a long time. I hope the audience will like the trailer and will get interested to watch the film in theatres,” said producer Amit Agarwal.

Hemanter Aparanha features a stellar cast, including Anusha Viswanathan, Rwitobroto Mukherjee, Satyapriya Mukhopadhyay and Bidipta Chakraborty. The music is composed by Gourab Chatterjee with songs by Lakkhichhara.

“Hemanter Aparanha is a heartfelt exploration of human emotions and relationships, and I am honoured to bring my character to life in this poignant narrative,” said Anusha.

“I am really thrilled to be part of Hemanter Aparanha, a film that beautifully captures the complexities of life and promises to resonate deeply with audiences,” said Rwitobroto.

Hemanter Aparanha is produced by Amit Agarwal and Ashoke Viswanathan on behalf of Adarsh Telemedia and AV Productions. The film is all set to release in the theatres on July 12.
