    Poetry in Action

    The movie is about the broken and unrealized dreams of a girl, which ultimately come to fruition after some intense family drama. Bad sex remains a constant theme in the movie. The girl has a secret desire for intense love with a man of her dreams but that is shattered by experiences of attempted rape, imposition and unsavory sights of parental indiscretion. This movie is less movie, more poetry. The pace, dialogs, presentation, style all underscore the poetic influence. Its full of dreams and metaphors. Imaginary muses act as spiritual and emotional guides for the lonely girl in the movie. There is excellent cinematography. The director has beautifully orchestrated the use of nature – both for sound and imagery.

    Awesome movie by Anjan Das & Planman motion pictures!

    Saanjhbathir Roopkathara is a beautiful movie directed by Anjan Das. The movie is all about poetry. Joy Goswami is the story writer,also one my favorite poet. Saanjhbathir Roopkathara is a low-budget Bengali film produced by Arindam Chaudhuri, directed by Anjan Das. Saanjhbathir Roopkathara is about the unrealized dreams of a girl,played by Indrani Haldar. Indrani Halder is excellent and has portrayed her character brilliantly. Her dream is ultimately turned into reality by her father,played by Soumitra Chatterjee , who supported her and thus helped her start writing poetry at a young age. Saanjhbathir is an example of a great Bengali movie to the world and is one of the best till date. The director is excellent and so is the cinematography. It is a must watch for all movie lovers.Saanjhbaatir Roopkathara is a landmark in the world of Bengali cinema.

    an excellent film by Anjan Das!

    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.

    Brilliant bengali film!!!

    Saanjhbaatir Roopkathara is an awesome Bengali film.One of the very few movies that I love watching again and again is Sanjhbathir Roopkathara. The movie is a low-budget film produced by Arindam Chaudhuri while Anjan Das is the director of this Bengali masterpiece. Saanjhbathir Roopkathara is all about the dreams of a girl, which are ultimately realized and come true after much drama. The movie is also all about a poetry. Indrani Halder,the lead actress has given a brilliant performance. Soumitra Chatterjee,father of Indrani in the film has also given one of his best performances. 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.I would never mind watching this film again nevertheless I have already watched it thrice!!!

    fantastic movie!!!!!

    Saanjhbatir Roopkathara,a Bengali movie that released in 2002.Anjan Das as the director has done a brilliant job once again as in most of the pictures that he has made till date.Soumitra Chatterjee and Indrani Haldar have performed excellently.The movie is all about a girl,played by Indrani Haldar and her unfulfilled dreams & aspirations to become a poet.It is about how her father,Soumitra Chatterjee helps her to fulfill her dream of becoming a poet.This is how the story goes on.Both Indrani & Soumitra have given brilliant performance. 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 which gives the movie a real feel.I have seen this movie more than once.Every time it appears to me with a slightly different meaning and but I never feel bored.I really love watching such movies.Its a must watch film for movie lovers who like watching serious movies.I would never mind watching this film again nevertheless I have already watched it thrice!!!
