But first, let's be clear that JALS is not by the director who gave us films like Abahoman, Sab Charitra Kalpanik, Dosar, Dahan and Unishe April. Nor is it his autobiography. Although there's a distinct imprint of his sensibility in this Kaushik Ganguly film, Rituparno's only an actor here. He plays Roop, a director shooting a documentary on Chapal Bhaduri, the state award winner who ruled the jatra world from the 1950s to 1970s and now lives in penury. Chapal Bhaduri, aged 75, plays himself.
