Mainak Bhaumik’s entry into the Bengali film world happened as an editor for Anjan Dutt’s coming-of-age drama ‘The Bong Connection’ back in 2006. Then he made his directorial debut ‘Aamra’, an ensemble story about the urban young generation falling in and out of love. It was shot digitally on a low budget. This film actually set the tone for a lengthy successful part of Mainak’s filmography that focuses on a kaleidoscopic view of any metro city’s middle and upper class, particularly the young generation and its travails through life, love and relationships. On his birthday, we take a look at the 5 coming of the age Bengali films directed by the extremely talented filmmaker.
