The "Black Board" project! No, it is not a part of "Sarvashikshaabhiyan".It relates to education for sure. When two students of psychology department thought of the idea of making movies out of the theories they study as part of their education. Now this thought seems like a simple ,but is definitely not. So, they had thought of an idea, but they had no resources to make it happen. By the end of their second year of graduation, one of the professors called them to meet.He discussed their idea and asked them to make a movie of on one of psychological theories from their first year syllabus. They immediately agreed to do it. But then, the professor asked how much they would charge for that. Now, as He quotes," No matter what, obviously, I was never going to charge professor for making something for my faculty". So when they denied it, the professor showed them the way out. And it didn't work. But after four months, the guy's friend advised him to rethink it. Then they found a way out! It was decided that the professor would finance them to buy the equipments for movie making, and they will keep those after the project is done. So, this is howit rolled for the black board project.
ShristiMukerji, the guy who denied professor's proposal for his ethics, wanted to be a manager watching his father managing successfully over the years.But when he was in the first year of his graduation, that suppressed thought of movie making came onto his mind. And when he saw those managers doing same work over the years, he was sure that it was not for him. He belonged to field,he wanted field. So, when choosing the Masters course, he chose journalism instead of the mainstream management subjects.
After getting into the field he loves, he is now committed to have a full-fledged career in production and direction. "Chhori",the first movie of the black board project,which is shot in single screen, reveals the potential the production house.It talks about saving the girl child in India.
