Mrinal Sen built his screenplay out of an original story by Amalendu Chakraborty. This filmscript is a reconstruction and traslation based on the original working script and a shot-by-shot viewing of the film. In Search of Famine won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival,1981, and the National Award for the best feature film, best direction, best screenplay and best editing.
