00:00But I will say only one thing that I have heard many times in this stage that this song is a tribute to Binodini, a tribute to Binodini.
00:08But because of that I became Binodini and this procession is very close to my heart.
00:15When I did this song, this song was definitely a tribute to Binodini.
00:21But Binodini and the end of the day, this song was a tribute to Binodini.
00:27This song is somewhere in between a tribute and a sacrifice.
00:32I was thinking that this person is giving this tribute for the theatre.
00:37But the owners of the theatre, all together, knew that he was giving a sacrifice.
00:43Binodini was also present in this procession 140 years ago.
00:48And when I did this song 2 years ago, this procession was also present in my mind.
00:54So, all together, this song is a tribute to Binodini.
00:57And obviously, the music, actors, everything was there.
01:01I could never imagine that I would be able to screen-share Kaushik songs with the girls.
01:07I was so nervous at every moment.
01:10Even today, my hands are shaking.
01:13I still call Kaushik as my master.
01:15When Mir said that I will help, I didn't help at all.
01:20Mir came to me in the middle of the shot and told me to finish the scene.
01:27Just go all out.
01:29Overpower me in this scene.
01:31Nothing will happen to me, to you, nothing.
01:34Do it. This is yours.
01:36I don't know how many times he told me this.
01:39Within a moment, I lost my senses.
01:41That day, in that scene.
01:43So, I always say that the way they all helped me in this film.
01:50At this moment, Om, Rahul Bose, Chandan Rai Shah, everyone.
01:55But if I talk about these two people, at every moment,
01:58I have so many crucial scenes with them in this film.
02:02I can't say that.
02:04And when this song was being shot, I remember the scenes before Mir.
02:09I refused to be with Mir sir.
02:11That's why I am saying this proudly.
02:14But I came back to my native place.
02:17That's why I am calling him Mir sir.
02:19He was sitting there and watching my scenes.
02:22And I remember that every day when I was shooting with Kaushik,
02:27with Mir sir, with Rahul Bose, with Chandan,
02:31I used to see him acting so well.
02:34He was doing something extraordinary.
02:36I used to say yes to him.
02:38But as the years went by,
02:40suddenly, when everyone's schedule was over,
02:45Kaushik gave me a message.
02:47An appreciation post.
02:49He said, Shrini, you did a great job.
02:51You can go now.
02:52I said, Kaushik, I am saving it.
02:54That day, with Mir sir,
02:56I remember the last scene I shot with him.
03:00He sent me a two-page long message.
03:02And when I was reading it,
03:05Mir sir was telling me that
03:07I can read it later if I want to.
03:09But I am saving it for later.
03:11So, I think I will save a lot of these.
03:15The film is for the audience.
03:17But these small moments,
03:19these small messages,
03:21these small love from them,
03:23this is the biggest thing for me.
03:25This is my take-away from this film.
03:27If I say this as Vinod.
03:29And I have said this to many people during the show.
03:31They are masters with what they do.
03:33They have a rock beard.
03:35That is true.
03:37But if I don't say this to people,
03:39I have said this to Ram and Abhil many times.
03:41I have been talking about this film since 1994.
03:43I mean, in 2019.
03:45In 2019, I didn't do any acting workshop.
03:47I didn't talk about myself.
03:49I just knew that I was doing Vinodini.
03:53And Ram said, you have to dance.
03:55And you have to learn to dance.
03:57So, in 2019, I didn't know
03:59whether I would do the film or not.
04:01Manisha Basu,
04:03she is my teacher.
04:05She took me to her
04:07on the 1st of November, 2019.
04:09I said, I can't do anything.
04:11Teach me like a child.
04:13I will learn.
04:15I will try.
04:17And I have been learning from her
04:19piece by piece for the last 4 years.
04:21She was my first choreographer
04:23for a Bangla film.
04:25She was Shobhit Chaturvati.
04:27She taught me
04:29Shobhit Chaturvati.
04:31If you see her performance,
04:33you will be mesmerized
04:35by her performance.
04:37Every word she said,
04:39every emotion
04:41she wrote,
04:43she learned,
04:45she did.
04:47And Avyaan,
04:49obviously,
04:51I had a dance reality show.
04:53I don't know why I didn't know
04:55about Avyaan before.
04:57The treatment of our song
04:59is also like that.
05:01If you see,
05:03it will be shot like a normal song.
05:05The camera will go to the side.
05:07The whole thing will remain silent.
05:09We will show the audience
05:11what you can see
05:13from Manisha's perspective.
05:15That's why we didn't look
05:17at the camera.
05:19We wanted to stay true to the reference point.
05:21Avyaan Roy,
05:23he has done a fantastic job.
05:25The whole team of Avyaan,
05:27the girls, please come.
05:29All of them have taken this song.
05:31If you are a little fat,
05:33come.
05:35All of you,
05:37these girls have taken this song
05:39with us at every moment.
05:41And we have to say,
05:43maybe you don't know,
05:45this song is a 5 and a half minute song.
05:47We are fighting a lot
05:49whether to keep it or not.
05:51And Ram said no.
05:53My team has taken 5 and a half minutes.
05:55And I am not alone
05:57in the cinema world.
05:59We have shot this song
06:01in one take
06:03for 5 and a half minutes.
06:05Every time from start to finish,
06:07the entire team.
06:09We have shot it 5 to 6 times.
06:11The camera angle has changed.
06:13Every time we have shot it for 6 minutes.
06:15The whole team.
06:17At this moment,
06:19we have a lot of people in the audience.
06:21A big round of applause for them.
06:23Because these girls
06:25truly did it.
06:27This is our future.
