About The Wish Fulfilment
A young boy wishes to switch roles with his father, and the wish is granted for a trial period. Mrinal Sen made this film for the Children's Film Society of India, based on a short story by Rabindranath Tagore. This happens to be the only work by Tagore that he made into a film.
Directed by Mrinal Sen, The Wish Fulfilment leans on a strong ensemble — Shekhar Chattopadhyay, Surajit Nandi, Sova Sen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1970.
