People from all walks of life gathered in groups on Thursday to watch Nil Akasher Niche. ‘It was a pleasant experience to watch those beautiful films on big screen,’ told Zubair-Ul-Islam, a student of Stamford University, to
New Age.
‘We actually do not get the opportunity to watch these films on CDs and DVDs at home. So the festival gave us a chance to come with family and watch such classic films,’ said Jhuma Rani Das, a housewife from Amambag, who attended the festival with her family members.
