Sohra Bridge is a multilingual Indian drama film directed by late Bappaditya Bandopadhyay starring Niharika Singh and Barun Chanda in primary roles.[1] Memories, imagination and reality come together in the journey of a young girl looking for her estranged father. The unexplored, beautiful and politically volatile North East of India provides the backdrop.
This was Bappaditya's last film and was released posthumously in February 2016.[2] [3] The dialogue of the film is in English, Bengali, Assamese and Khasi.[4] [5]
Sohra Bridge tells the story of a daughter who embarks on a journey across the remote expanses of North-East India, looking for her father. She finds herself drawn towards a complex labyrinth of memory and imagination. The film conjures up a magical reality where real gives way to the surreal, bloodshed to poetry, memory to the imaginary and vice versa.
