Filmmaker Aparna Sen, whose forthcoming directorial venture ‘Sonata’ starring powerhouse performers Shabana Azmi and Lillete Dubey celebrates female bonding, says there are hardly any films on the topic.
“Basically, it is about female bonding. We see many films on male bonding, but hardly any on female bonding. It really is a celebration of friendship. She (Lillete) is totally laid-back. However, both are team players,” Sen said at the trailer launch of the independent movie.
‘Sonata’ is adapted from the eponymous play by playwright Mahesh Elkunchwar. ‘Sonata’ is the psychological exploration of three unmarried women facing mid-life crisis. Aparna also stars in the film.
The 103-minute English drama revolves around three friends — Aruna Chaturvedi, a professor essayed by Aparna, Dolon Sen, a banker portrayed by Shabana, and Subhadra Parekh, a journalist played by Lillete.
When asked if the film has any feminist elements, she said, “It’s very much there. It’s not underlined but it’s there… reports Times of India.
