      Satyajit Ray's burning take on incomplete lovestory. A Classic contrary version to his own Masterpiece Charulata.

      Kapurush / The Coward (1965) : Brief Review -

      Satyajit Ray's burning take on incomplete lovestory. A Classic contrary version to his own Masterpiece Charulata. You know i often say that Indian Cinema can never have a Masterpiece like Casablanca (1942) but we have Charulata (1964). It was Ray's visionary take on a Woman's Love for the other person than her Husband but the person with high ethics doens't fall for it. That reminds me of Casablanca, you know Rick sending off the couple to stay happy in their married life in the legendary climax scene. Though, Ray's Charulata was differen. But for me that's the only thing from India which i can compare to Casablanca and you know it's a big statment. So, Kapurush is contrary to Charulata or should i say it's a male version of it. A by chance meeting rekindles old memories between a screenwriter and his ex-girlfriend, who is by now married to a well-to-do man. Here, we see the woman having those ethics and showing her loyalty. However, her burning heart and pain does not remain hidden and that's what delivers a Classic heartbreaking climax to this short film. In 67 minutes, Kapurush smartly manages to showcase all the required things including past events. It's an achievement for any film with this much short runtime. Remember those Classic love stories of Hollywood from silent era? Kapurush is that for Indian cinema. I know it's too late, i mean 4 decades, yeah but still at last we have something to tell. Soumitra Chatterjee, Madhabi Mukherjee and Haradhan Bandopadhyay are in their sublime forms in the film. Satyajit Ray's dark theme and extremely earnest framework are the two major highlights of Kapurush. Even though that 'Coward' element seems little udiscovered considering the importance it holds towards the title, the rest of the narrative is nothing short of a Classic Cinematic Experience.

      RATING - 8/10*

      'Minor' but only in scale.

      This Satyajit Ray movie, made in 1965, is virtually unknown here and while it's not one of his great masterpieces it is very fine and well worth seeing. "The Coward" is very much a chamber piece with really only three main speaking parts. The great Soumitra Chatterjee is Amitabha Roy, the screenwriter who finds himself stranded in a remote backwater after his car breaks down. He is 'rescued' by a friendly plantation owner, (Haradhan Bannerjee),, who invites him home for the evening but when he gets there he discovers the plantation owner's wife, (the equally great Madhavi Mukherjee), is his old love he let go years before. He still carries a torch for her but she seems indifferent to him.

      Is Chatterjee the coward of the title for not committing himself to Mukherjee when he had the chance or is she the coward, unable or unwilling to face up to her feelings in the present? In just seventy minutes Ray presents us with a devastating character study as he peels away layers from each of the three protagonists revealing the feelings and the frustrations beneath. (He's also not afraid to tackle issues like colonialism and the caste system). In the grand scheme of things this may be 'minor' Ray and yet it is a film that will stay in your memory long after it's over.

      Ashes

      This melancholy little chamber piece from the director of 'Pather Panchali' also ends beside a railway line; once again holding out the possibility of a new departure.

      It has much of the mood of the epilogues of 'Une Partie du Champagne' and 'Les Paraplues de Cherbourg', but this time comprises the entire movie, with the sadly recalled happier times just brief flashbacks.

      Revival of burnt out passions or de-ja vu?

      This can be categorized as another Ray short-of-a-full-length venture! The title could not be more apt, as COWARD is written all over the young writer(Soumitra Chatterjee)- especially after we are told of the past sequence. Some years ago, Amitabh had refused to marry lover Karuna in haste. He needed 'time' to think it over, the city was big, he was starting to work, he wasn't even established properly- how could he marry Karuna suddenly?

      Many years later, his car breaks down and he is given shelter for the evening in Bimal Gupta's house- a successful tea planter somewhere in Darjeeling. The tea-planter is lonely in that part of the world with no neighbors nearby, hence he talks garrulously about his takes on life. Amitabha is now an established screen-writer who talks less but is astounded to meet Bimal's wife- Karuna.

      A breakthrough performance by Madhabi Mukherjee, this is a wonderful movie which will not fail to appeal anyone.

      A Ruthless Portrait Of Grief, Regret, Betrayal & Revenge

      A short, simple & stimulating drama released as one half of the double bill presentation along with Mahapurush, Kapurush (The Coward) follows a screenwriter who rekindles old memories following a chance meeting with his ex-girlfriend who is now married to the person who offers him hospitality for the night after his car breaks down.

      Written & directed by Satyajit Ray (The Apu Trilogy & Charulata), the premise is a love triangle brimming with strong emotional undercurrents & gradually increasing tension between the two characters with a shared past. Ray utilises the camera with a probing eye to keep us guessing and smoothly navigates from present to past to inform the viewers.

      The drama isn't hurried and the actors play their roles with conviction but it still requires extra breathing space than what its 74 mins runtime offers. Performances from the trio are gripping throughout, plus their interactions also hint at complex emotions swirling beneath the surface, for our lovelorn protagonist pays the price for his earlier betrayal & cowardice.

      Overall, Kapurush is the better & stronger story of the two entries that make this double feature offering as it not only narrates its story in more enriching & productive fashion but also benefits from sturdier inputs from its cast. A brutal reminder of how our past actions are responsible for our present being, this poignant drama doesn't dig too deep but still delivers the desired goods.
