THREE SISTERS
(58 mins. | Bengali with English subtitles | 2018 | Documentary)
Dir. Putul Mahmood Produced by Ratnaboli Ray

About the film: This film revolves around Shikha, Rupashi and Seema who was forcibly admitted by their family to a public mental hospital in Calcutta, twenty years ago. They have been living there ever since they have been separated from and neglected by their families who never visit them. This is a story about the three sisters' madness, their longing for familial love, and their tremendous grace and dignity in the face of denial of that love.

She is the Producer of the Indie Bengali feature film Cosmic Sex directed by Amitabh Chakraborty. The film premiered at the Osians Cine Fan Festival of Arab and Asian Cinema where it won the Best Actress Award and was widely distributed across international online platforms as well as having a theatrical release in Bengal. She has directed several short fiction and documentary films. Her film,  Atasi won the Best Film Silver Conch (under 60 mins category) at MIFF 2020. Three Sisters won a National Award for Best Film on Social Issues.
