Amar Bhuban
(This, My Land)
In the wake of the Kargil war, Mrinal Sen happened to watch a news correspondent asking a roadside vendor in Islamabad about what the war had meant to him. The man's one-word answer -- "nuksan" ("loss") -- provided him with the seed of the idea for this film. He mentioned to his biographer: "See the dimensions one single word can offer. I may even make a film based on this word!"
