Our take

Based on Saratchandra Chatterjee’s Bengali novel Bindur Chhele, this layered family drama quietly observes the complexities of mother-child relationships. Sharmila Tagore delivers an eloquent performance as the innocent child-woman thrust into the grown-up world of responsibility and marriage.
