A film by BUDDHADEB DASGUPTA

The film is about a hunter from a royal descendant who desperately attempts to kill a tiger but fails miserably each time. Finally, he plots a spine chilling game plan to kill his prey and win over.

“The Bait is a fitting new entry to this [Buddhadeb Dasgupta’s films]oeuvre; its lush cinematography may revel in the scenic splendours of India's countryside, but the film takes an unflinching look at how the country's weakest and most vulnerable are used by the rich………..Impeccably crafted and allegorically rich, The Bait is a film that deals playfully with serious ideas — but this newest addition to the oeuvre of a contemporary master is uniquely his own, and one of his best to date.” –  Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director, Toronto International film festival, 2016

“…Dasgupta is clearly a maestro …An acquired taste, sure, but a taste worth acquiring” – The Hollywood Reporter
