Recently in Cinemax Mumbai, a Press Conference was held by Saregama India Ltd. for their film The Japanese Wife. Almost the entire team of The Japanese Wife was present at the conference including ace filmmaker Aparna Sen, Actor Rahul Bose, Veteran Moushumi Chatterjee, Apurv Nagpal (MD of Saregama). The promos were showcased to the media which was present in large number.
The promos exhibited yet another finest work of Aparna Sen as she is one of the connoisseurs’ of artistic cinema in India. The Japanese Wife strikes a chord and is sure to leave an indelible mark on the audience as it will portray a real sensitive love story.
When asked Aparna as to what prompted her to make a film on Kunal Basus book The Japanese Wife, she answers I got inspired with the fact that how 2 peoples 17 years marriage has more integrity even though theyve never met than any other marriage Ive ever seen in real. And I immediately knew that this was the film I had to make. I wanted to create a film which is minimalistic but poetic so I had to face a lot of challenges while making the movie.
Apurv Nagpal expressed that he went berserk reading the novel and is grateful to Aparna for turning this film as beautiful as the book. He said I love Moushumi Chatterjees role in the film for the great vivacity she shows in her character.
The Press conference was followed by the album launch of The Japanese Wife where all the songs are handpicked by Aparna Sen. Followed by the launch; the Media was gifted with a TJW notebook designed by Mr. Ajay Shah.
Rahul Bose who had worked with Aparna Sen in fantastic films like Mr. & Mrs. Iyer and 15th Park Avenue couldnt stop appreciating Aparna for her brilliant talent of film making. If the audience had gone for Mr & Mrs. Iyer because it was a romantic love story then Im sure double the amount of people will go for The Japanese Wife, alleged Bose.
Veteran Moushumi Chatterjee who is making a comeback in films after 5 years added, Ive been a lazy person and when I was approached for this film, I knew I was getting a fantastic opportunity to make a comeback. I seriously recommend everyone to see this film because its full of love yet painful and so please watch the movie and enjoy the pain.
The Japanese Wife is a beautiful love story of an Indian man who writes to a Japanese woman. The pen-friends fall in love and exchange their vows over letters, then live as man and wife without ever setting eyes on each other their intimacy of words tested finally by lifes miraculous upheavals.

12. Māori Dictionary—Cost of Launch
[Uncorrected transcript—subject to correction and further editing.]
12. Hon TAU HENARE (National) to the Minister of Māori Affairs: Can he confirm that the breakfast bash where he launched the new Māori dictionary cost taxpayers up to $75,000?
Hon PAREKURA HOROMIA (Minister of Māori Affairs) : The final cost for the 2-day symposium has still to be calculated. I am advised that it is well below $75,000. Te Taura Whirii te Reo Māori, the Māori Language Commission, is contributing $50,000 and Te PuniKōkiri will contribute the balance.
Hon Tau Henare: How does he explain to Māori who are struggling to make ends meet under his watch, when the number of Māori on the sickness benefit has almost doubled and the number of Māori on the invalids benefit has more than doubled, that the best use he can find for their tax dollars is to pay for large quantities of muttonbirds, oysters, and champagne?
Hon PAREKURA HOROMIA: I remind the member that with our growing young demographic and, at the other end, our growing ageing demographic, those things have happened to increase benefits in the sickness area. But I also remind him that the unemployment rate has gone down by nearly 82 percent, that Māori are coming off the benefit four times faster than Pākehā, and that Māori are going into work four times faster than any other ethnic group in this country. That is what he should jump on every breakfast time and think about.
Hon Dr Michael Cullen: Can the Minister confirm that the member who has asked these questions is only too happy to turn up to free Māori bashes in Parliament with free food and drink, but that what upset him about this one was that it was dictionary, and that is beyond his understanding?
Hon PAREKURA HOROMIA: I am sure that it is certainly beyond his comprehension. The comprehension in this book of 24,000 words is a real feat achieved in this country. The Oxford Dictionary took 80 years to make; this has taken 8 years. It has all the words in this country. It will be relished by students in this country. Our language will be preserved, and it is certainly worthwhile having a breakfast bash over that.
Hon Tau Henare: Given that the Minister has just confirmed that he went to the breakfast bash and that the $75,000 came out of his budget, can the Minister confirm that the number of unemployed has gone down, but they have just transferred over to the sickness benefit and the invalids benefit—that the same number of people have transferred over, and that this is all we have got after 9-long years?
