Description

Bollywood family drama directed by Satyajit Ray. Set in Calcutta at the end of the 19th century when India was under British rule, the film follows Charulata (Madhabi Mukherjee), the intelligent and childless wife of politically active publisher Bhupati (Shailen Mukherjee). Aware of his wife’s ever-growing boredom due to his own absence, Bhupati asks his younger cousin Amal (Soumitra Chatterjee) to stay in their house and encourage his wife’s literary ambitions.

As Amal and Charulata get to know one another a relationship grows between the pair, but will either go beyond their loyalty to Bhupati and act upon it?
