I guess this picture says it all. So if you are planning to buy pirated DVDs, be prepared to start watching the movie from the word go. No time to get the bucket of pop-corn. Too bad huh! And you should always avoid sites like Pirate Bay and Torrent Freak else you might end up spending thousands in downloading free illegal movies and music et al from these sites.

Charulata (2011)

noreply@blogger.com (Rajtilak Bhattacharjee) — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 23:57:02 PST

Based on the Bard's Noshto Nirh, Charulata by Agnidev was a stale attempt to recreate the magic that was woven long back by Satyajit Ray, Soumitro and Sharmila Tagore Madhabi. I know it would be foolishness to compare the Charulata of Ray with the Charulata of Chatterjee, but even if we don't, still this story of the bored housewife of the 21st Century can't do justice to the original story.

In the light of the, rather unfortunate, events where a woman was raped in Park Street, Kolkata and 2 girls were raped by 17-18 men in the Betma rape incident, security of women (and men for that matter) have become a serious concern.
