Teenkahon is a triptych film. The Gulf Today described it as "a rare international art house film from Bengal which, as a piece of social document, tries to capture the changing face of morality, the degeneration of values, the increasing pollution of the spoken language and the changing social fabric of Bengal through three stories."[2]
Production
Development
Teenkahon is the first film of Little Lamb Films, the production house founded by Bauddhayan Mukherji.
"This fest (DC Independent Film Festival) doesn't believe in showing hundred or more films like mainstream festivals. In the narrative feature category, they've chosen just eight films from across the world. Teenkahon is the only one from Asia in the competition section and it's a rare honour for a Bengali film."[3]
Playback singer Arnab Chakraborty was chosen to compose the film score for Teenkahon. The film will be his debut as a music composer. Singer Shreya Ghoshal was reported to record a song for the film.
Accolades
Teenkahon went on to receive multiple awards in various international film festivals, being the only Bengali film in consideration in most cases. It won a Special Mention Award from six student jury members in Paris.[4] Director Bauddhayan Mukherji was bestowed with the Aravindan Puraskaram for Best Debutant Director by Beena Paul, receiving a cash prize of ₹25,000 (US$290), a certificate and a statuette.[7]
