Manikbabur Megh
Drama Bengali
Manik is a lonely middle-aged man who lives with his father, but with whom he has no contact. Instead, his life consists of taking care of his plants and ants, plus a spider and a lizard. But then a change happens in the man’s dull life – he notices a cloud in the sky that seems to follow him all the time. Life takes on a new, previously unknown value for him. Is it friendship or perhaps love?

All Guild Reviews of Manikbabur Megh
Abhinandan Banerjee and Chandan Sen Present a Magical Love Song Through Their Cinema
Chandan Sen’s Manikbabur Megh is clearly a disruption in the current space of the Bengali cinema. It is nothing that one wants to watch and yet it is everything that we cherish on the screen.
Manikbabu (Chandan Sen) lives a lonely life. He is first chased and then romanced by a whiff of cloud that only he can see. What do we see when we look at the sky? Manikbabu sees a whiff of cloud that refuses to leave him. He decides to embrace that celestial piece of cloud in his life. This lonely man and his quirky environment – his noisy ceiling fan, his rooftop greenhouse, the hanging lizard in the bathroom, the pile of files on his office table, and so on – tell a lot of hitherto bottled-up stories. The film is a collage of those chronicles.
