Anjan Dutt’s ‘Bow Barracks Forever’ marks its 18th anniversary, offering a bold and somewhat irreverent depiction of the Anglo-Indian community in Kolkata. The film, based on real-life experiences, depicts the lives of those living in Bow Barracks, a run-down building in North Kolkata. The film presents a frank portrayal of the characters, with performances by Moon Moon Sen, Neha Dubey, and others, adding depth. Lilette Dubey delivers a powerful performance, while Victor Banerjee provides a memorable performance. The film’s cinematography brings life to the characters. Banerjee shares his experience of the film, his appreciation for the director and the artistic freedom he received. He reflects on the impact of his work. He also hasn’t seen his performance in the film. This movie provides a candid perspective.
