MUMBAI:Aparna Sen‘s Iti Mrinalini is all set to release on 29 July.
The film examines the randomness of life and explores different forms of love - one that happens in early youth, one that‘s more domestic, one that falls somewhere between friendship and love, and one resulting out of loneliness and seclusion.
The film revolves around the life of an actress who looks back at her life. Mrinalini, an ageing actress, writes a suicide note. As a performer, the first lesson she had learnt was timing - the perfect moment for making an entrance or an exit on stage. On the stage of life, her entrance had been beyond her control but she wants to choose the moment of her exit.
However, before taking the pills that will put her to sleep forever, she decides to destroy all her memorabilia : letters, photographs, newspaper cuttings, knick-knacks from the past – lest they fall into the hands of the press. As she looks through the old box that contains relics from her past, memories flood the night and incidents that she had forgotten or had relinquished to the furthest corners of her mind now return to haunt her. An entire life is revealed through these memories.
While Aparna Sen plays the older Mrinalini, her daughter Konkona Sen Sharma portrays the younger version. The film also has Priyanshu Chatterjee, Rajat Kapoor and Koushik Sen.
