Konttho, which hit the theatres on May 10, narrates a story of struggle, love, hope, and optimism — issues close to the hearts of every middle-class Bengali. The heart-wrenching story of a survivor of laryngeal cancer, ‘Konttho’ sees Shiboprosad Mukherjee in the lead (RJ Arjun), alongside Paoli Dam (Arjun’s wife Pritha) and Jaya Ahsan (speech therapist Romila). While the Nandita Roy-Shiboprosad Mukherjee directorial continues to woo the audience we sat for an exclusive free-wheeling chat with Paoli Dam on her experience of working in the film, what the word ‘Konttho’ means to her and many more. Here are the excerpts.
