Our take

This poignant drama (a true Bengali classic!) centers on the tale of two disadvantaged individuals who find a source of nurture in each other. With a luminous Shakuntala Barua as the visually impaired daughter-in-law, Sukhen Das paints a striking portrait of a wealthy family besieged by greed.
