Entertainment desk: Satyajit Roy received lifetime honor. After that, no Bengali won an Oscar. Once again that hope is created. Because Bengali director Shaunak Sen has been nominated for the best documentary film. He is the director of West Bengal. His ‘All That Breaths’ was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Feature Documentary category.
In 2021, another Bengali Susmeet Ghosh’s documentary ‘Writing with Fire’ was nominated for Best Documentary. But Sushmit Ghosh was not lucky to win an Oscar. In the end, the documentary he made fell out of the fight. And now it is known that Shaunak Sen’s ‘All That Breeds’ has got a place in the Oscar fight.
It is known that this story revolves around the strange addiction of two brothers and sisters, Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shahzad, who live in the remote village of Wazirabad in Delhi. The two siblings rescue and nurse injured birds, especially blackbirds. And that’s what Shaunak Sen’s documentary was made about. It is said to be the second documentary of Shaunak Sen. For now, time will tell if Delhi-based Bengali Shaunak Sen’s documentary can make it to the top of the Oscars.
