World Premiere of Chandan Roy Sanyal’s starrer “Prague” at the 12th Osian’s-Cinefan Film Festival
 
After getting amazing response from international film community and renowned filmmakers at Cannes Film Festival and Hong Kong Filmart in 2012,  KAMINEY fame Chandan Roy Sanyal’s forthcoming Film “PRAGUE”  is all set to showcase the world premiere of “Prague” at 12th Osian’s – Cinefan Film festival (asian & Arabic Cinema), on 1st august 2012, 7:15 pm at Siri
 
 Rohit Khaitan’s debut production movie PRAGUE  is the first of Indo-Swiss co production for an Indian movie,which has been doing rounds of various film festivals.
Few days earlier even Sonam had tweeted about Rohit’s short film Lehenga which was showcased at Cannes. All those who have seen  PRAGUE have applauded for the movie. Rohit recalls, “I was working with John Abraham on sets of No SMOKING as an  assistant director. John used to treat us as kid brothers and used to have a lot of fun while working, it’s a great feeling of growing up with time and inviting him to come see Prague at Osian’s where he will be showcasing his home production movie Vicky Donor.”

Prague, can intriguingly be described as a psychological thriller that takes you to the darkest corners of your mind, the shut down alleys of your soul and to the graveyard of your heart. This film deals with the inner conflicts of Chandan, a passionate architect who comes to Prague for a project along with his friend Gulshan,a person he idolizes and wants to emulate but also fears. Here he meets a gypsy girl, Elena, a Czech looking for her identity and love who inspires him to make a monument for the unaccounted gypsies who died during WWII. She eventually becomes the love of his life and his inspiration. Chandan however is unable to trust her due to his insecurities and the constant aggravation caused by Gulshan. Caught in a state of mental turmoil the only person Chandan can seek solace from is his friend Arfi, a man who doesn’t exist anymore.


Prague is shot in the beautiful city of Prague and reveals the many colors of the city that has a history seeped

in heritage, myth and superstition.
