This short film Debi tells you the essence of homecoming during Durga Puja

Durga Puja brings with it a feeling of nostalgia. It is that season of the year when you must go back home and meet your families no matter wherever you are. Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury has perfectly captured the emotions of an estranged daughter’s homecoming in this Bengali short film Debi.

Anuradha (played by National award winner Ananya Chatterjee) is visiting her home after two decades with her daughter Lali (played by Monali Thakur).

While Anuradha is re-visiting her old days lost in the memories of her late mother, Lali tries to see where she has come from. The story spanning three generations– a grandmother in memories, a lost mother and a daughter trying to bind the three of them together– will tell you what’s the importance of observing a festival with your family.
