By his own confession, Srijato’s directorial debut Manabjamin was much more than just a film for the makers. The Parambrata Chatterjee-Priyanka Sarkar’s film did not do well at the box office but kept its bigger promise. The cast and crew put the foundation stone of a free girls’ school in Salboni, Midnapore, during the promotion. Now, the building is almost completed. Manabjamin’s producer Rana Sarkar said that the inauguration of the school will take place before Durga Puja. The kids can start studying in a few days.

Rana said, “The people in that area are scared of wild elephants walking into the locality. They cannot go far from their houses. In the film, we see how young people struggle to get an education. Irrespective of the film’s business, we proved that cinema has the power to change society. Team Manobjomin wanted to materialise the message given in the film.”

Rana said that it was their effort, but they got the MLA June Maliah, Chuni Kotal Memorial Trust, and the West Midnapore administration, to finally achieve their dream.

Rana shared a post about this on social media a few days back. He shared a video showing glimpses of the moments of Manobjomin Free School, starting from the foundation stone ceremony to the days of building. He said, “This is happening for the first time. Even if the people refuse to stand by Bengali cinema, Bengali cinema stands by the people.”

The netizens expressed best wishes to Rana, Priyanka, Srijato, Parambrata, and others in Team Manobjomin for their effort.
