Chennai-based Harry MacLure has started a petition to help take his latest film, Calcutta, I’m Sorry, showcasing the talent of the Anglo-Indian community to a global audience
Chennai-based Harry MacLure, a well-known face of the Anglo-Indian community, is drumming up support for the release of his latest film Calcutta, I’m Sorry on OTT platforms.
Harry, who has scripted and directed the film, has started a petition on Change.org asking people to support the campaign and showcase the talented, spirited people who have been part of the film.
Calcutta, I’m Sorry is centred around Anglo-Indian characters, but is not a story about the Anglo-Indian community per se but brings out the essence of being Anglo-Indian. Featuring Priscilla Corner, who plays the protagonist Amanda Wright diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the film takes viewers on an emotional road trip from Coonoor to Kolkata on a rusty bicycle where she sets out to meet her granddaughter.
The work on the movie began in 2019, but pandemic and other challenges delayed its theatrical release. In 2022, Harry and team completed the post production of the film that runs to 1.52 minutes.
“Usually a movie is released in theatres and then someone comes forward to buy it and put it on an OTT platform, which did not happen in the case of this film,” says Harry, who has started the petition to get more signatures so that it draws the attention of OTT platforms.
Besides showcasing the artistic talent of the Anglo-Indian community, the film has a powerful message from a lady with multiple sclerosis.
