Amid row over Wim Wenders’ Berlinale stand, Bengali film ‘Adamya’ reminds art is political Directed by Ranjan Ghosh, ‘Adamya’, a political thriller starring Aryuun Ghosh in the lead role, is running in cinemasAgnivo NiyogiThe Bengali film industry is often accused of playing safe, sticking to the formulae of family drama and detective thrillers. A political thriller, Adamya strips away familiar urban gloss and compels the viewer to confront another Bengal. It is rare to find a contemporary Bengali film that carries such overt political currents but doesn’t collapse under its own weight. Earlier this month, internationally-acclaimed filmmaker Wim Wenders, who serves as the head of jury at this year’s edition of Berlin International Film Festival, refused to take a question on Palestine during a presser. But Ranjan Ghosh’s film reminds us that art is indeed political.
