Hrid Majharey
Hrid Majharey (হৃদ্ মাঝারে) (English: Live in my Heart) is a 2014 India-Bengali romantic tragedy film written and directed by debutant Bengali filmmaker Ranjan Ghosh. It was originally presented as a tribute to Shakespeare on the 450th anniversary of his birth in 2014. Its first showing occurred at a British conference about the Bard held in London. In 2015, the movie was screened at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts.
Abir Chatterjee and Raima Sen debuted together in a romantic pairing for the first time in this modern revisiting of the works of William Shakespeare.
The film begins with a disheveled Abhijit (Abir Chatterjee) entering a room to find Debjani (Raima Sen) lying dead on the bed. The film then describes previous events. Abhijit is a professor of mathematics at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata. He lives with his only sister, Mallika, who is a crime journalist.
Abhijit has a chance meeting with a soothsayer (Sohag Sen), who warns him to stay away from love for his own good, but the warning is ignored by the professor. On a rainy night in Calcutta, he notices a damsel in distress, Debjani. She is stranded, since her taxi has broken down. Abhijit gives Debjani, a trainee heart surgeon, a lift in his car. They date and fall in love. Abhijit, however, faces a problem at his job when an infatuated student proposes to him. He rejects her, so she retaliates. Afterwards, he is initially arrested, and then ostracized by others. Faced with issues at work, he goes to the Andamans, along with Debjani, in search of a new life.
There, they meet Subhro (Indrasish Roy), who is Debjani's younger acquaintance from their high school days. Subhro runs a non-governmental organisation at Port Blair and composes music as his pastime. Subhro and Debjani spend time together, reviving their friendship. At times, Abhijit gets jealous of Subhro's unwavering attention to Debjani. Subhro dies in an accident, leaving Abhijit in a confused state. He begins to question himself about the prophecy of the soothsayer. The film ends on another rainy evening in Port Blair, which in the Andaman Islands.
The first draft of the screenplay was written in 2008 and underwent rewrites until a producer was hired for the film in 2012. This was an assignment in the scriptwriting syllabus at Whistling Woods International Film Institute, where Ghosh was a screenwriting student from 2007 to 2009.
Pre-production began in October 2012 and ended in January 2013. Reece traveled multiple times to Kolkata and twice to the Andaman Islands to search for filming locations.
The film was shot on a RED EPIC camera by ace cinematographer Sirsha Ray, who had shot Bollywood movies such as Home Delivery and Aladin and Bengali films including Clerk, Shabdo, Shesher Kabita and Apur Panchali, among others. The first day of the film's shoot was 3 February 2013. The film was shot over a period of 23 days, with 13 days shot in Kolkata, and the remaining 10 days in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
