“Independent Filmmakers Have Given Me Meaty Roles And Helped Me Grow As An Actor”- Saurav Das
“I completed the shoot of this film in seven days. This does not mean that I compromised the quality of the film. Had I taken seven months to make this film, I would have made film with the same amount of love and care. This is my baby after all and I will not neglect it at any cost” said director Ratool Mukherjee at the press conference for Ikir Mikir at the 28th KIFF.
Apart from the director, Rupanjana Mitra, Saurav Das, and Deboprosad Haldar graced the press conference.

Bikash, a security guard’s murder is being investigated, and there are two main suspects. Ranjan, a man in his late 40s who had lost his wife and daughter in an accident, and Surasha, a woman in her late 30s who lives with her only daughter and her husband is delayed in Bangalore owing to the pandemic. There are two distinct accounts of the crime versions made by Ranjan and Surasha. The truth, however, is the third version.
