misread<strong>in</strong>g of Herbert's predicament. The author Nabarun Bhattacharya tried (and quite successfully<br />
did so) to depict the classical tragedy of a circumstantially trapped protagonist, who needs to <strong>in</strong>vent<br />
myths to make sense of the world around him, and just when he is capable of mak<strong>in</strong>g sense of the<br />
world through myths, the world can no longer make any sense out of him, and can only torture him<br />
for be<strong>in</strong>g recalcitrantly resistant to the ways of the rational world. The film of Suman<br />
Mukhopadhyay dextrously transacts this tragedy to celluloid.<br />
Shubhashish Mukhopadhyay (who plays Herbert) <strong>in</strong> conversation with director Suman Mukhopadhyay<br />
