Poetic Description of Chokher Bali

In Indian Cinema, Bengali movie are like precious and valuable crown. So many quality movies and directors evolved from this language. This movie 'Chokher Bali ' is one such movie taken with great care and distinction. Director Rituparno Gosh had made a valient effort to bring, Noble prize laureate Rabindranath Tagore's novel into a commercial feature film.The catch point of this movie is the casting with former Miss world, and stunning beauty Aiswarya rai. The plot has pre-independent India as back ground and  subject is feminism.
As a young widow Binodhni ( Aiswarya), a English educated woman, finds her way through the rough path of widow cruelty in Indian society. The plot begins with a family of two medicine educated, one adopted , wanting to make remarriage for their own son Mehindra. In such a fashion, he rejects Binodhni who was proposed by his mother. He gets married to another girl and they start a new life intimately. Binodhni who came in contact with Mehindra's mother accidentally, was invited to live in his house by his mother. Slowly Mehindra fall in love with Binodhni and they start a relationship secretly. But to the array of time, this relationship was revealed to his wife and who in fact allinate herself and go to Kasi to finish her life. Ironically she was caught in a situation where she realizes she has a baby in her womb.
Binodhni came to know about the place she went and followed her without her knowledge. Meantime Mehindra came to Kasi in search of Binodhni. How Binodhni ends her relationship with Mehindra and wants to live with his adopted brother is the story.
There are many eye opening scenes about Indian culture, one among them was, women were restrained to drink tea. How blouse for Indian women was introduced and how Indian women reacted towards it are few of the many points which was pondered in the plot. Apart from all Tagore's line on every human has flesh and blood need and how can that determinate a Chasity of a woman is the point to debate.
Another additional point is cinematography, it was excellently handled. The background of Indian independence and how it affected the social living of then society was also shown superbly. This movie had created the interest on Rabindranath Tagore's writing and think process.   I had decided to read the novel to compare the movie with its original plot.
