More than insentient messengers, letters push open personal windows and teach through the totality of one’s lived experiences. Didn’t Franz Xaver Kappus find similar moist imprints in Rainer Maria Rilke’s letters? Didn’t Indira Gandhi hear her father’s voice in his writings? When messages by great minds are brought out, there’s often a reaching after relevance.

Young Amiya Nath Bose received letters from his father, Sarat Chandra Bose and his uncle, Subhas Chandra Bose when he had completed his matriculation. The brothers share their vision for India, their contribution towards Independence, and role in the freedom struggle in these letters; they also guide Amiya, who is not too sure which college to attend. The Bose Legacy, a cine-theatre that takes after elements of cinema and stage, resolves the want for relevance. As Subhas had said, an idea incarnates itself “in a thousand lives”.
