A film by Rituporno Ghosh, it revolves around the life of a poet.. Successful and well appreciated by the world for his literary work. Hidden behind all the fame & achievement is an ordinary man not so successful in fulfilling the basic scores of life. Being annoyingly impractical and insensitive, his wife becomes weary of his sense of responsibility and attention towards the family, and decides to separate. A sudden demise of her husband just on the day of her confrontation to a colleague and friend about the decision, turns the world around for her.

The memorial function sets her into a whole new journey.. through the various recitations of her husband’s works which she was completely unaware of throughout these years.. or more importantly never inquisitive enough.. As she learns more about all the imaginary characters he created.. she discovers him yet again.. completely different from what she knew he was. Not the reckless, unkempt man who was selfishly into his own self.. but as an immensely insightful human being to whom every moment spent with any person was memorable.. and significant.. a part of his existence.

A mystical expedition takes her to the woman he loved.. and how he wanted the woman of his life to love him.. in a different name than hers yet almost similar to the woman she was. The differences begin to fade away as she realizes she was the one he loved and was an inspiration throughout the years he lived. Probably she has begun to understand him better and love him for the person he is.. and he is.. he still lives..

Love travels through the barriers of death and she finds him with her.. just the way she had always wanted..

Reality is vague.. and it’s the emotional attachments that tie us up together.. in different relationships. This is one of those movies which moved me and grew on inside with time.

Thought it was a piece of art.. never before by the director.
