West Bengal's finance minister Dr Amit Mitra is in Delhi today for a crucial and contentious meeting of the GST Council. But last Sunday, he was doing something very, very different in Kolkata. He was watching A Death In The Gunj, actor Konkona Sen Sharma's first film as director screened for a select audience. And then an emotional Amit Mitra waxing lyrical about the film. "It was poetry. I have known Konkona as a child and now she has given us a piece of art. I am so emotional I am choked up. It is simply beautiful, beautiful," Dr Mitra said. Konkona Sen Sharma's A Death In The Gunj released on Friday.
