REVIEW
This is one of Rituparno Ghosh's most complex films. The story of the film is Radha's story of self-discovery as she is forced to re-examine her own life and has to re-evaluate each incident. The cinematographic technique is one that seeems to have become very popular in recent times - a series of flashbacks, each adding bits and pieces to the total picture as it unfolds like a jigsaw puzzle. Yet Rituparno weaves the past and present brilliantly as he brings out Radha's own contradictions and her insecurities - about Neel not taking her into confidence in major decisions, about Neel's muse Kajori Ray and so many more. Then as she starts comprehending that Neel's world revolved round her and her alone, she discovers that she too cared for him much ore that she had admitted to herself. It is beautifully brought out and except for a few scenes, the screenplay is taut enough to keep you rivetted to the screen.
Acting by the main protagonists is outstanding. Bipasha will probably never get a role again that demands so much from her and she performs brilliantly. But if I were to select one actor in the film, it would have to be Sohag Sen as Nondo'r Ma/Priyobala. The restraint and realism that she brings to her role makes it so believable. She is the faithful retainer cim confidante to life. And despite a subservient role she makes her presence felt whenever she is on screen.
Perhaps the best part of the film is its editing. Arghyakamal Mitra must have had a harrowing time getting Rituparno's concepts across to the audience and does so beautifully. Despite the jump cuts and flashbacks which sometimes makes you wonder id you are in the past or present, marvelous editing keeps the narrative going and our attention intact. Music is excellent too. Cinematography fits into the general ovrall excellence of the film, but there is no scene that really capyures your imagination.
Perhaps the only part of the film that I did not like were the scenes in which Kajori Ray (Paoli Dam) is brought tothe screen. They added very little to the main theme and the fantasy sequences did not have a major impact on the film's structure or its narrative. If the mystery surrounding Kajori did not exist, very little would have been lost.
Overall, a brilliantly crafted film but not one for the hoi polloi.
