Goynar Baksho - A Good DVD Watch with English Subtitles of course :)

I was waiting for this one specially coming from Aparna Sen but must say this was definitely not her best movie. Glad they had subtitles as it was difficult to understand the East Bengal dialect that was spoken during most part of the movie ,almost all the words used in this movie were unheard of till today so the English subtitles was very very helpful. The best part of the movie was undoubtedly Moushumi Chatterjee and Konkona Sen Sharma's flawless performances and of course not to forget Shashwata Chatterjee too remember Bob the shooter from Kahaani :) This movie is based on Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay's story 'Rashmonir Sonadana' , Sonadana means jewellery in Bengali. I think sometimes when there are too many plots running parallely its good to read them in a book rather than the celluloid form. The most touching bit was the awful way widows were treated in our society rather they still are in many parts of India and yes the Bengal partition was quite touchy too. The length of the movie surely could have been trimmed by twenty minutes. Overall not a bad movie nonetheless not Aparna Sen's best 'Mr.and Mrs.Iyer' and '36 Chowrunghee Lane' surely are the best ones we have seen from her till date :) A Good DVD Watch with English Subtitles of course :)
