The movie is a poetry on the big screen and brings the best out of Bengali cinema. Its a must watch film for movie lovers who like watching serious movies.The pace, dialogs, presentation, style all underscore the poetic influence.Saanjhbaatir Roopkathara full of dreams and metaphors. Imaginary muses act as spiritual and emotional guides for the lonely girl in the movie.

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.

Saanjhbaatir Roopkathara is an awesome Bengali film produced by the planman motion pictures.It is the story about a very young girl,Tukun played by Indrani Halder.She is amazingly talented and has displayed her talent in this film as well.Saanjhbaatir is her story. In it Soumitra Chatterjee plays the role of her father who helps his daughter to achieve her dreams and fulfill them.It has been directed by Anjan Das and asa director he is brilliant.Bengali films most of the times I have seen are really good and have deep meaning and messages for the audience.I personally liked the film because of Indrani and the brilliant performance by her in the film.I would never mind watching this film again nevertheless I have already watched it thrice!!!

Saanjhbathir Roopkathara is the story of a young girl who dreams of beauty, love and happiness.The lead role has been played by Indrani Halder who has many dreams and aspirations. Her dreams are broken when she meets a man.The role of Indrani's father is played by Soumitra Chatterjee and he is wonderful in his role. Director Anjan Das presents the story as a poetry beautifully.It is perhaps one of his best movie that I have seen. In the movie,Indrani's world is also presented through her father's wonderful paintings from which inspires her too a huge extent. Indrani Halder gracefully plays the title role with sincerity and maturity while Soumitra Chatterjee is sublime. The music is comparatively less when compared to other movies.While we see Indrani as a lonely dreamer, we gradually learn that she's not the only one and eventually she realizes that she's not lonely.The opening of the film is just awesome.Being a non -Bengali,it was difficult for me to understand this movie.In fact I had no idea about the movie and was forced by my friend to watch it.I would love to watch it again so that I get to know more about the movie.Its a must watch film for movie lovers who like watching serious movies.

'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.
