Mr. & Mrs. Iyer

The story mirrors a frightening reality in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks and the Gujarat carnage through a masterfully told plot. It was conceptualized as a love story set amidst violence but ultimately says a lot more. A Muslim man and a Brahmin woman get to know each other on a fateful cross-country bus trip to Kolkata.

The film reflects Aparna Sen's humanism depicted through finely blended emotions of communities, beliefs
and individuals.

Nationally lauded and internationally acclaimed, Mr. & Mrs. Iyer is one of Aparna’s cinematic masterpieces.
