Shoojit Sirkar's debut short film 'The Pressure',
which deals with the exam pressure on children and creating awareness in parents
about their child's performance anxiety has impressed Amitabh Bachchan.
'Bachchan has seen the film and he liked. He said it
is a very pertinent issue and dealt very well,' said Sirkar in a press
conference, who was also the co-producer of Big B starrer 'Pink'.
In his last production 'Pink', Shoojit Sircar addressed
the issue of women safety. Now, in his first short film, the filmmaker has dealt
with the pressure children go through during exam season.
'I look for a subject, which is around me and try to deal
with the subject in my way. However, I feel I see an issue like a normal person
and present it in a simple manner. For me, it is important to reach the audience,'
he told the media.
In the film, kids write open letters to their parents to say
them how the parent's continuous pressure on them was making their life hard
and stressful.
With tearful eyes, they request their parents not to demotivate
them with comparing them with some other kids but to stand by their side as
they try their best to compete with the stress and syllabus.
Sarkar said, he made this fictional story in a documentary
style and hopes the film will generate a discussion between kids and parents.
