Life is dead without dreams. That’s what film-studies student Moubani Sorcar discovered when she was just a child. Now, she is translating her real-life experiences with dreams and fantasy on film, in The Beautiful Night. Magician P.C. Sorcar watches on as his daughter directs her friends, who are all, like her, students of St Xavier’s College. Moubani is also taking a shot at a slot on the small screen. Picture by Aranya Sen
