Part 2 of 2
Claire McCarthy's cross-cultural drama The Waiting City, starring Radha Mitchell, Joel Edgerton and Samrat Chakrabarti, will be released on DVD on May 31, 2011 by Entertainment One.
After the film was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, 2009, Chakrabarti was named as one of the Fresh Faces at TIFF by thestar.com, for his role as Krishna. Linda Barnard of thestar.com wrote, "The high point of The Waiting City, about an Australian couple in Calcutta to adopt a child, is the lively and hilarious performance of Samrat Chakrabarti as Krishna, a meddlesome worker at the hotel where the Aussies stay. Befriending them and inserting himself into their lives, he digs out their secrets and gives unsolicited advice, in what seems like a typical Bollywood comic turn by an Indian actor."
Last November, I attended the sold-out screening of The Waiting City at the 10th annual Mahindra Indo-American Arts Council (MIAAC) Film Festival at the SVA Theater in New York. After the screening, Indo-American Arts Council founder and executive director Aroon Shivdasani interviewed Chakrabarti about his experience working on The Waiting City.
Chakrabarti, who is also an award-winning musician, is the recipient of the 2010 TMG Award for Global Achievers in the category of Film, TV and Drama, for his outstanding body of work as an actor. Click here for Samrat's reel.
Bonus features on the DVD include commentary by director Claire McCarthy and actors Radha Mitchell and Joel Edgerton, a featurette and cast and crew interviews.
