Saanjhbatir Roopkathara

Saanjhbaatir Roopkathara is a simple story told beautifully through poetry and symbolism.It is a low-budget tastefully made Bengali film produced by noted economist & management guru Arindam Chaudhuri, and is directed by Anjan Das. Coming from economics and management background, it is commendable to see the producer having such great taste for meaningful cinema. Saanjhbaatir Roopkathara also known as the Silk and silhouettes made huge waves in the world of Bengali cinema when it released.It was a huge hit and one of my favourite film made under Arindam Chaudhuri's production house.The story of the movie is based on a novel by Joy Goswami. Starring Indrani Halder and Soumitra Chatterjee,the movie has been made superbly by Anjan Das.It is more of a poetry and very beautifully executed. Saanjhbathir Roopkathara tells the story of a young dreamer. Indrani Halder acted exceptionally well. She plays the role of a woman keen on writing poetry but had no idea on how to do it. Her father(Soumitra Chatterjee),who keenly supported her introduced her to Pablo Neruda's collection and so poetry started at a young age.It is a brilliantly made film. I am very fond of Bengali films and this one is one of my all time favorite with everything beautifully done,be it acting,screenplay or direction.

'Saanjhbathir Roopkothara' tells the story of a young dreamer. While the title character dreams of beauty, love and happiness, her dreams are broken by her encounter with men she meets(the men are portrayed as lusting objects, with the exception of the father) and ultimately shattered by her father. Beautifully told, through poetry and symbolism, director Anjan Das presents Tukun aka Saanjhbathi's world. Her world is also presented through her father's wonderful paintings from which she draws inspiration. Indrani Halder gracefully plays the title role with sincerity and maturity while Soumitra Chatterjee is sublime. The music is less used when compared to other films but this makes Saanjhbathi's world more real. While we see her as a lonely dreamer, we gradually learn that she's not the only one and eventually she realizes that she's not lonely. The film opens at a night illuminated by a lit candle and ends at a stormy night and between all this night we see the journey of self-discovery of a lost father and a lost daughter. I would love to rewatch it and discover more symbolism.
