By J. A. Eyon
this should prove to be a slightly more accessible film to the average viewer then other Satyajit Ray films - yes - it's another quiet family drama set in india - but the story of a young wife breaking with tradition and getting a job - and thriving in it - will probably resonate with many people today - even tho it is set in a far-off place
i found it refreshing to see a story about struggle and success in the marketplace - this isnt a politically subversive movie - instead it views modern society directly and honestly - challenging instead outlooks that hinder rather than help
there are many fine performances in this film - but let me give the leads their due - Madhabi Mukherjee as the young woman - Anil Chatterjee as her trouble-prone husband - and Haradhan Bannerjee as her boss
Satyajit Ray was a master of naturalistic human dramas with the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters shown with incredible clarity - characterization was never a problem in his movies - but they weren't enhanced enuf by heavy drama or action to be widely popular - you need to downshift mentally when you sit down to his films to derive the fullest satisfaction from them
