    A simple story told in an exceptioannly beautiful manner..

    Saanjhbaatir Roopkathara is a lovely picture about a young girl and her dreams.A great film by the director and he has made amazing effort to make such a movie.I must say it is technically among the top movies that I have ever come across.I am a movie buff and simply love talking about them after I watch them.The stars in it be the lead actress Indrani Haldar or Soumitra Chatterjee playing her father,both are simply brilliant. 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. There is excellent cinematography.The director has beautifully orchestrated the use of nature – both for sound and imagery.Saanjhbaatir is a brilliant film and a must watch for every movie buff.

    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.

    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!!!

    a master piece!

    The film is one of the best films in Bengali film world.Anjan Das is a superb director and this is a master piece by him.The film deals with the life of a young girl played by Indrani Halder.This is Planman motion's 3rd bengali film and is a big hit like the other two.Great to see so many brilliant scripts and beautiful films. The movie basically is a poetry and the director has brilliantly turned this poem into a film for the silver screen.Indrani is superb as Tukun,the protagonist in the film who has lots of wishes and desires.Soumitra Chatterjee is her father in the film and he is one man who helps her to fulfill her dreams. Saanjhbaatir is a subtle and beautiful movie and is a landmark in Bengali film industry.This one by Anjan Das is a master piece!
