Named 'Janla' (window), the film, which Dasgupta chooses to call as an extension of his inner self, centres around a person whose memories of student days revolve around a window of a classroom that opens out on the outer world and his feelings.

"It is the story of a man wishing to donate a window in place of the dilapidated one in his school building. It is a tale about a reality which merges with the mist of magic," Dasgupta told PTI on the eve of the commencement of shooting for the film this week.

The film, which Dasgupta promised would be stylistically different from his previous works, is about the voyage of the man, who donated the window, to future and a host of events that follow from its landing at the hands of a thief to being the object for sale at a village fair. The window thus becomes a chronicler of time.

"I have been struck by the idea ever since I visited my village school building sometime back. And when I began penning my thought the script emerged till it took the final shape," Dasgupta said.
