Puratawn won the Best Feature Film award at the Indian Film Festival of Houston and previously received the Best Film and Best Actress (Sharmila Tagore) honours at the Washington DC South Asian Film Festival. Actor Indraneil Sengupta plays the male lead as Rituparna’s on-screen husband.

Sharmila started her acting career at 14 with Satyajit Ray’s acclaimed Bengali drama ‘The World of Apu’. She not only established herself in Bengali cinema but also became a prominent star of Bollywood. She worked in movies such as ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’, ‘Safar’, ‘Amar Prem’, ‘Aradhana’, ‘Daag’ and others.

From legendary actor Dilip Kumar to Bollywood stars like Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, Shammi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, and Sanjeev Kumar, she acted opposite all these big names in the industry. (ANI)
