AUTOGRAPH
Directed by SRIJIT
INDIA, 2010, 128 min. US Premiere.
Bengali
(with
English
subtitles)
Thursday, November 11 @ 6.00 PM @ SVA Silas Theatre
Synopsis:
Autograph
is
the
story
of
a
struggling
young
director
who
musters
up
the
courage
to
approach
the
reigning
matinee
idol
of
Tollywood
with
an
idea
for
a
film.
This
matinee
idol
is
an
arrogant
man
at
the
peak
of
his
career.
To
prove
a
point
to
his
detractors
that
he
is
perpetually
one-up
on
destiny,
when
the
daily
horoscope
predicts
a
particular
day
is
inauspicious
for
business
ventures,
he
blindly
accepts
any
proposal
submitted
on
that
day.
As
luck
would
have
it,
the
middle-of-the-road
script
is
offered
by
the
director
on
this
very
day.
And
much
to
the
dismay
of
his
cronies
and
secretary,
the
matinee
idol
accepts
it.
Here
onwards,
the
film
gets
split
into
two
parallel
stories.
One
is
of
the
story
of
the
film
within
the
film
and
the
unconventional
relationship
brewing
between
the
star
and
the
leading
actress.
The
other
is
an
even
more
unconventional
triangle
between
the
director,
the
actress
and
the
matinee
idol.
The
two
narratives
are
entwined
as
reel
and
real
life
converge
and
diverge
through
situations.
The
climax
is
where
they
converge.
How
this
climax
changes
three
lives
forever
forms
the
finale
to
this
reel
meets
real
story.
