Sampurna

Kudos to Mr. Sayantan Ghosal for picking up this sensitive topic and presentation.

Excellent direction and accurate acting by veterans like Laboni Sarkar, Rajat Ganguly and new comer !

Sampurna, review in Bangla of a Bengali web series that has global relevance. Please read my review on Sampurna. This web series has the power to change the mindset of people across the globe. Besides entertainment, it can also help in healing the society with wounds of molestation and paedophilia. Acting is superb, the direction is flawless. There are some dialogues like that resonate in the minds of the audience. There are millions out there who are victims but are unable to speak for themselves. This web series has a promising future if it looks at the disease from a holistic perspective.

It is a must watch for everyone.

First of all the message they want to spread through this series is to doing something to change things around you, nothing should be tolerated, don't listen and don't think about the family,neighbors always think about you cause end of the day you are the only who is going to deal with the situation, so it's your choice and completely up to you to do that thing only which keep yourself well.

Here is a show that upholds feminism not by portraying women as cigarette puffing, free willers belting abuses "like men", but in a way that actually delivers impact. The drama is well-controlled, the dialogues are sharp, the performances measured. Most importantly, the characters are real, and the issue at hand is very very pertinent.

Here are some of the things in the Sampurna that any level-headed man or woman will be able to relate with:

1. The my-son-can-do-no-wrong mother of the family 2. The psychologically disturbed yet perfectly functioning young man with a thriving career 3. The aloof and spineless elder brother of said young man 4. The hapless O-God-what's happening-to-my-family father who is typically always the last to know about any family catastrophe 5. Meddlesome neighbours and relatives 6. The kickass homemaker of a daughter-in-law, who earns the "activist" tag just because she wants to do the right thing.

And then there is the subtle use of loads of much prevalent stereotypes that bring the script alive. Some examples:

1. Childlessness is solely the woman's problem, 2. The man who works hard to earn for the family may as well rape and torture the legally wedded wife a bit 3. A woman complaining about marital r#pe is mentally unhinged 4. Even if it may be rampant within the family, talking about marital r-#pe and torture goes against the family's culture, etc.)

Go watch Sampurna. These are the kind of shows that make me feel like doing something to change the various wrongs happening around us.
