An emotional and personal film for Soumyajit Majumdar

Actor Soumyajit Majumdar is making his debut as a writer-director with #Homecoming – A love letter to Kolkata!, a cosmopolitan coming-of-age feature film, attempting a new form — “episodic cinema”— dividing the three-act structure of a feature film screenplay here into 10 episodes (five before and five after the interval).
Sayani Gupta, Tushar Pandey, Hussain Dalal, Plabita Borthakur, Soham Majumdar and Tuhina Das constitute a part of this huge ensemble cast. Arindom Chatterjee is working as the music consultant for the film and the music album will have a varied sound ranging from a Baul song, Rabindrasangeet, a Bangla toppa to an Urdu ballad.

A theatre group, formed by a generation of artistically inclined high school-college outlaws, who eventually pioneered the “failed” Calcutta (Kolkata) youth-theatre movement, reunite for the first time after seven years on an eventful Durga Puja night at their old rehearsal space. It is in the danger of being sold off and converted into Kolkata’s first five-star hotel by the Ganges where revisiting the past again leads to the promises of a collective future in this coming-of-age love letter to Kolkata.
Talking about the film, Soumyajit said, “#Homecoming is an emotional and personal film for me because I come from a theatre background myself. This is a film for everyone who loves Kolkata. I have got an eclectic cast and crew with me and I am looking forward to the journey.”
