The lockdown short Grub Ne Bana Di Jodi, directed by Satrajit Sen (inset), has already notched up one lakh views. The story of the fantasy short, starring Mir, spans across India (Calcutta), USA, London, Paris and Canada and is about how “food is helping bring couples together across the globe”. Since the lockdown was prevalent across the world and food brings the world together genuinely, I thought of not limiting the film to Calcutta, Bengal, India but try to showcase how food is playing its part in the lives of couples globally. Given the fact that the couples were neither actors nor professional DoPs, it was mighty tough to say the least! For the introduction shots a recce was done through video calls quite a number of days before the shoot.
