Aniruddha Roy-Chowdhury . This film is scheduled to be released in Q4 2006.Anuranan (meaning "resonance" in Bengali) explores the relationships of two married couples.

In addition to showing how distinctly different two marriages can be, the title of the movie and subsequently the story convey the fact that people can form relationships that extend beyond just them being acquaintances, and yet remain purely platonic.
ynopsis
Rahul Bose stars as a creative and sensitive individual, who during the course of his life arrives in a lonely hill station in Sikkim to help build a new holiday resort. The friendship between the two couples, Rahul and Nandita and Amit and Preeti paves the way for a deeper bond between Rahul and Preeti. This "Anuranan" between the two is, towards the end of the movie, misunderstood by society in general including Amit. However, the fact that the love between Rahul and Nandita is pure, does not let the latter fall prey to the rumour mills.The film was shot on location in India and the UK and director Aniruddha Roy-Chowdhury describes the amazing scenery of the hill station in the mountains as making the Kanchenjunga "the third character" in the movie (Telegraph India, November 2005).
The film features music composed by tabla meistro Tanmoy Bose.
