Ah! Finally got to watch the one flick i had been waiting
endlessly for years..and how i loved it! A perfect women centric flick in all
aspect featuring my most admirable actors together..Aparna Sen, Shabana Azmi,
Roopa Ganguly and of course, a commendable supporting act by Uttara Baokar
(well deserved National award 1989 for Best Supporting actress), supported competently by Shreeram Lagoo, Anil Chatterjee, Arjun Chakraborty..The film
excellently captures the vagaries of life in a typical middle-class bengali
household facing quietly and morosely a dilemma,after the mysterious disappearance
of its patriarch! Shabana Azmi's character reminded me so much of
Meghe dhaka Tara's Neeta ,while at times it might remind you of Shabana Azmi's yet another role in a much recent flick
15 Park Avenue..Aparna Sen shines through the role of a student who's deep and poignant relationship with her professor is left unsolved while Roopa Ganguly enacts her part as the younger sibling efficiently
Mrinal Sen is well known for bringing out the pathos of the middle class household as we have witnessed in some of his major works like
Akash kusum, Kharij, Ek din pratidin, and this one too categorizes as one of the must watch films of Indian cinema showcasing the 70's and 80's of the middle class efficiently!
P.S. : I wonder who did the dubbing for Aparna Sen in the
film..the voice over seems so much familiar!
