Description
COMMENTS:
‘‘It’s a heart – warming tale of friendship and understanding between the daughter – in – law and mother – in – law, who are traditionally meant to be at loggerheads. It’s a film by a women, for the women Cinematically the film uses Tagore’s Songs brilliantly.’’
--- The Telegraph
‘‘Paromitar EK Din is a culture – specific Bengali film which reflects the transgenerational suppressed aggression in women within the patri – local family. Exploding right into the politically correct face of the Bengali bhadralok. The most striking portrayal in the film comes from debutante Sohini Haldar as Khuku, ably supported by (Aparna) Sen herself as Sanaka and Rituparna Sengupta as Paromita. The music (by Jyotishka Dasgupta) is haunting. Also wonderful is the use of Rabindrasangeet.’’
