Anirban Guha

The violence and upheaval of Calcutta in the 1970s is focalized through a young man coming to the city to study.

The movie is about a poet and singer Lalon Fakir who belongs to a cult called baul and who believes and inculcates that the value of a human being is above the narrow belief of religions.

Nilkantha, an artist, is admitted in a mental asylum but even while undergoing treatment, he manages to write a play.

The film tells the story of an old colonial house and how its inhabitants save it from the hands of money hungry promoters in modern day Calcutta.

Anirban Guha's inclination towards positivity, mindfulness and experimenting with different genres gave him the idea for “Elixir” where a story unfolds from a simple glass of water, yes a glass of water ! The story takes shape with a husband and wife, when the husband asks her to attend to one of his old acquaintance who will handle her a parcel. The wife waits in a café for this man when a waiter serves her with a glass of water and from here the unusualness of the film began because the drink smelled, tasted and was believed to be water but was not water. 'Elixir' is exclusively featuring on Cinemapreneur.
