Kolkata, 4th October 2017: Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films presents ‘Anukul’, a short story by Satyajit Ray that delves into the changing relationship between a human and a robot. Addressing issues like loyalty and duty, this latest short film has been directed by Sujoy Ghosh.
Written in 1976, ‘Anukul’ is known to be way ahead of it’s time. The plot of the story revolves around Nikunj Chaturvedi, a well-to-do Hindi teacher, who hires Anukul from Chowringhee Robot Services. While Nikunj was told that he will be a role model for Anukul, little did he know that Anukul will be the most diligent student he ever taught. Anukul begins to learn from Nikunj and to Nikunj’s surprise he suddenly starts seeing a side of himself in Anukul, which he didn’t know existed. Through this short film, Sujoy Ghosh tackles various ideas such as intelligence vs. instinct, faithfulness and robotic "feelings".
