Winning the hearts of millions at the Cannes, juvenile and talented cinematographer Modhura Palit had become the talk of the town. Now she is all set to her Bollywood debut with director Ram Kamal Mukherjee’s third Hindi film Broken Frame which is based on the short story ‘Long Island Iced Tea’. Talking about her new journey Modhura Palit shares, ‘I loved the story of Broken Frame, looking forward to being a part of this project.’
‘She is an immensely talented technician. I have seen her earlier work and wanted to work with her. When we collaborated on our Bengali film I realized that she is not only fast with her work, but also understands the hue and rhythm of cinema. She is blessed with a unique vision that adds flavour to the narrative,’ Ram Kamal Mukherjee added.
Ram Kamal Mukherjee and Modhura Palit first associated with Bengali film Rickshawala and then they determined to collaborate once more with Ram Kamal Mukherjee’s next venture ‘Broken Frame’.
‘It was wonderful working with Ram Kamal in Rickshawala. He gives respect and room for creativity to each and every one. As a director, he is not rigid, and that is something which helps me as a cinematographer,’ says Modhura.
On this note producer, Aritra Das says, ‘Modhura is a fantastic person and extremely understanding. That’s what makes her unique. Being one of few women cinematographers from our country she understands her job and delivers on time. I feel that she has long innings ahead.’
Modhura Palit was awarded with the prestigious Pierre Angenieux ExcelLens in Cinematography Special Encouragement at the Cannes during this year and set to the landmark within the world of filming/Cinematography history.
