+Twenty years after Charulata (1964) Ray
+returned to Tagore, in colour, adapting a
+controversial novel that had increased in
+stature over the years. Set during the terrorist
+movements following the first communal
+partition of Bengal (1905), the book tells a
+triple story, interweaving the diaries of the
+zamindar Nikhilesh (V. Bannerjee), a critic of
+nationalism, with the stories of the man’s wife
+Bimala (Sw. Chatterjee) and of their guest, the
+fiery activist Sandeep (So. Chatterjee). Sandeep
+and Bimala become involved with one another,
+which for her leads to a sense of liberation. In
+the end Nikhilesh dies, and Bimala is widowed,
+punished for her transgression (the novel ends
+differently, with Nikhilesh accepting Bimala
+back). Ray played down the novel’s political
+overtones in favour of a straight love triangle
+enacted in a meticulously researched period
+setting. The film, which Ray had intended as
+his debut work, recalls Charulata in some
+ways. Ray’s son, Sandeep, completed the postproduction
+after Ray suffered his first heart
+attack.
