Ranjan Ghosh directed ‘Ahaa Re’ continues its good run at international festival arena. After winning hearts at the box office and screening abroad the romantic drama has won the Best Director (Viewers' Choice) Award at the 3rd Bengaluru Bengali Kannada Film Festival, 2019.
“When we started out we never thought we would receive such a great response because it’s an independent film. We are extremely grateful to the audience. Also I would like to give a special thanks to the producer, Rituparnadi, for having so much faith on the film, investing in the film and obviously a big thank you to my golden team. Plus, media has also been very supportive. It’s a great feeling to reach such a milestone. I am very happy,” Ranjan had said recently after completing 100 days at the box office.
‘Ahaa Re’ sees a rich Bangladeshi Muslim (Arifin Shuvoo), a middle-class Indian Hindu, and the medium of food, the fusion of Epaar Bangla and Opaar Bangla - setting the course of their love story. There are some noteworthy performances to savour as well. Rituparna Sengupta has delivered with considerable restraint right through. As the old patriarch bristling at being addressed as meshomoshai, who is keen to learn magic even at this ripe old age, Paran Bandyopadhyay is exceptional.
