The Melodrama of Everyday Life May 24, 2003
The film is based on a second-grade melodramatic novel, which you read with tears in your eyes, but forget on the next day. Because, there is nothing extra-ordinary in the storyline. It only narrates the story of our everyday defeat, only magnify them for the sake of the melodrama. But after seeing this film, you can not ignore the cry of the female protanist, her face, her so-called 'sacrifice' for just keep the things moving in the lower-middle-class set-up any more. This is a film ridden with symbols from typical Bengali cultural milieu, which is sometimes too heavy to comprehend. This is not a film that can be enjoyed. In fact, that is not the purpose of the film. If you really keen to know about the reality of any third-world country, then you should see this film.
