Brief description of the event: Prof. Mondal delivered a special lecture on Indian Aesthetics and Rasa Theory and its relations with cinema and Film Theory. He drew parallels between Rasa Theory and cinema to problematize this aesthetic concept itself and thus question whether such a theoretical framework may be used at all, when it comes to studying cinema.
