| 12 | A successful melodrama about the dutiful wife |
| 13 | and mother Bandara who becomes a widow |
| 14 | (Sen). The subsequent conflict between her |
| 15 | and her in-laws stems from her son’s refusal to |
| 16 | see his mother as a widow whereas the family |
| 17 | insists on her adhering to all the traditional, |
| 18 | oppressive trappings of widowhood. She has |
| 19 | to leave the family home and take a job. After a |
| 20 | while, she forms a new relationship with an |
| 21 | artist (Dey), but the by-now adult son cannot |
| 22 | accept his mother as an autonomous, sexual |
| 23 | being either, encouraged in his reactionary |
| 24 | attitudes by his girlfriend (Haldar) and her |
| 25 | villainous mother. The film resolves the |
| 26 | problems, not by focussing on the issue of a |
| 27 | woman’s right to her own identity, but by |
| 28 | emphasising and glorifying motherhood. |
