The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne will showcase Baksho Bondi as its opening presentation this August. Tillotama Shome stars as Maya in this Bengali production that celebrates working women across India. Directors Tanushree Das and Saumyananda Sahi make their debut with this project after its world premiere at Berlin Film Festival earlier this year.

The narrative follows Maya through her experiences in a Kolkata suburb. Shome describes her character as embodying quiet strength and resilience that many women display each day. The actress also serves as producer alongside Jim Sarbh for this independent film.

Melbourne audiences will see the screening on August 14 when the festival begins its ten-day run. Festival director Mitu Bhowmick Lange praised the performance and visual storytelling that the debut directors achieved. The Victorian Government supports this annual celebration of Indian cinema that concludes August 24 with awards recognizing outstanding films and digital content.
