A still from Ahalya.
New Delhi:
It appears that people can't get enough of Ahalya, director Sujoy Ghosh's viral hit which retells a story from the Ramayana with a feminist spin.
On Twitter, Sujoy says that folks have been asking to read the script of the 14-minute short. (Also Read: Ahalya is a Regular Woman Just Being Herself, Says Radhika Apte)
The first draft of Ahalya has been uploaded onto a site called Fight Club (thus the invocation of Tyler Durden).
For those interested in the craft of cinema, it is a fascinating document. Much of the English dialogue in the draft made it to the screen replaced with Bengali lines. The script describes 'the woman' - the lead character of Ahalya - as 'the most beautiful woman in the world.' (Also Read: Soumitra Chatterjee on Ahalya and Co-Star Radhika Apte)
