The Violin Player

Once having dreamed of playing first violin in hit Bollywood films, reality paints a different picture: When his wife drives off to work, the unemployed musician hangs around at home or takes to the studio to do small, badly paid sessions in the fourth row. But this day holds a surprise. On his way home, the passionate violinist experiences a twist of fate and soon finds himself following a strange man into a spooky, abandoned house… Starring the Bengali heavyweights Ritwick Chakraborty and Adil Hussain, director Bauddhayan Mukherji’s indie drama is a poignant yet humorous modern fairytale about the life-changing power of art.
