Review:Chokher Bali
Today i watched the Tagore's master piece chokher bali...........and the story was not full of twists but it was gripping(i don't know why?)The director Rituparno ghosh really has some kind of talent.......He has remained truthful to the spirit of novel in movie and his background reaserch work looms large on every aspect of movie whether it is the dress/culture sense or the sensitivity of the emotions of a widow or a married woman.Th e cinematography is excellent and not to mention that both Aishwarya and Raima look gorgeous in their 1800's costumes.....(sometimes jewellery reminds me of kamasutra)....................
I mooted lot on the point what was the exact message of the movie?
The clue can be found out in Tagore's own confession that he didn't like the kind of sad ending of story .......which actually leaves the widow stranded in the shackles of the prjudices and malpractices at that time in the indian society.
I think he wanted to highlight the plight of a very young widow......He sexual,physical,mental and cultural tormentation.........the irony of her life........and partly the hypocrisy of the so called educated indians.
Overall I will give following ratings to movie:
story: 7/10
direction:9.5/10
cinematography:9.5/10
aish:9/10
raima:8/10
actor(I don't know his name!!):9/10
overall:8.5/10
