The press meet of the film Laptop took place at 26^th Kolkata International Film Festival. Gracing the press conference was Rituparna Sengupta, director Premendu Bikash Chaki and Sudeshna Roy.

This is a film that has been made during the lockdown. The story of the film revolves around Baisakhi and Indra, a married couple who lives abroad. Indra comes to Kolkata for a short vacation leaving Baisakhi alone. Indra gets stuck in Kolkata due to the sudden lockdown. Baisakhi loses her job and feels lonely in a foreign country. The distance between the two widens and gives rise to differences. A laptop later helps them to bridge this gap and aid in better communication.

Rituparna Sengupta said “I was excited that we could do a shooting during the lockdown. My daughter helped me a lot during shooting the film. I was staying in Singapore at that time with my children. It was a great opportunity to shoot a film during the lockdown on my mobile. This was a rare experience for me”.

The director said that we experimented with the fact that a film could be shot even on a smartphone. “Though we shot the film from different places, this was a great experience that we amassed during this lockdown,” said the director.
