When we talk about novels crafted into cinema, one famous novelist comes into our mind. Sharatchandra Chattopadhyay…
Sharatchandra wrote sagas of life in Bengal that were realized by many Directors from time to time. Bimal Roy to Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Pradeep Sarkar. Two favorites have been Parineeta and Devdas.
Parineeta and Devdas have certain qualities in common. They are about simple girls with self-pride. Parineeta talks about Lolita who falls in love and marriage by destiny and her husband fails to remember the sacred ritual. Instead of struggle, she performs all her duties. Two most remembered roles were played by Meena Kumari and Vidya Balan separated by ages.
Devdas is the most famous one of all of his works. K.L. Sehgal, Dileep Kumar and Shahrukh Khan essayed the three Devs of three ages. It is about one man who falls in love of a neighbor Paro. His father doesn’t agree and he leaves her. But when she marries someone else, he loses it all. He drinks heavily and destiny puts him in front of Chandramukhi, a prostitute; who falls in love with him. Alcohol takes him to death and he dies at the door of Paro’s in-laws house.
Sharatchandra will always be remembered as an iconic writer of all time. He has been a favorite of artists from West Bengal to Mumbai. His characters have influenced cinema far more than any other writer. His works are ageless…
In contemporary cinema, a highly acclaimed director brought up a movie with extreme realism and darkness but with a different climax. The movie was Dev D inspired from Devdas and the director is Anurag Kashyap.
With hopes that you are loving the series…
