Parama A Journey with Aparna Sen is a 2024 documentary film that premiered theatrically in India on January 3, 2025. Directed by Suman Ghosh, the documentary delves deep into the life, artistry, and influence of one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated voices—Aparna Sen. Presented in both Bengali and English, the film blends reflective storytelling with rich archival material and heartfelt conversations.

The documentary traces Aparna Sen’s remarkable evolution—from her early years as a prominent actor in mainstream Bengali cinema to her groundbreaking journey as a director who reshaped Indian parallel cinema. Through candid interviews and personal anecdotes, the film uncovers her creative process, her fearless approach to storytelling, and the cultural shifts she helped initiate, especially within the Bengali bhadralok community.

Featuring Aparna Sen herself, along with insightful appearances by Konkona Sen Sharma, Kamalini Sen Sharma, Shabana Azmi, Anjan Dutt, and other collaborators, the film revisits pivotal locations from her life. One of the most poignant moments includes her return to the building where her celebrated directorial debut 36 Chowringhee Lane was filmed in 1981.

With its intimate tone and reflective structure, Parama: A Journey with Aparna Sen stands as a tribute to an artist whose legacy continues to challenge conventions, inspire generations, and redefine the boundaries of Indian cinema.
