Belaseshe

"You're never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream" - C.S.Lewis

The dream of the aged protagonist of the film is to travel around the globe, see the Nile in Egypt and the midnight sun in Norway amongst them...

The film raises some questions about the traditional roles of husbands and wives from time immemorial in Bengali society against the winds of changes taking place. Modern times requires both husband and wife to be independent and not chained in their responsibilities and commitments while working towards making a family with kids and grand-children work. That seems to be the driving motive when the owner of a publishing house (Soumitro Chatterjee) announces his intention to be divorced from his wife of 49 years(Swatilekha Sengupta) in front of her and other family members. He claims he wants to experience his unfulfilled ambition of seeing places in his twilight years.

In some respect it is similar to the Mrinal Sen film EK DIN ACHANAK where the protagonist became dissatisfied with the demands of the family members and leaves for an unknown destination. Here no such things happen. What transpires is the deep reflection among the family members (daughters and their husbands quite similar to EK DIN ACHANAK) about the sudden decision of the patriarch. Some of the sequences are quite touching. Especially the one where the son (Sankar Chakraborty) breaks down and tells his father that all along he had idolized him and now he is thoroughly confused.

The Rituparna Sengupta character as the fiery daughter of the patriarch is a bit under-developed. Why was she in an extra-marital relationship and why suddenly she changes her mind to return to the family fold is not detailed...

The supporting cast includes Rituparna Sengupta, Aparajita Auddy, Kharaj Mukherjee and others. The film is directed by Siboprasad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy.

Rating: 3.8 out of 5

May be some people could say that it is overrated or something like that but actually this movie is a piece.A challenging role played by Soumitra Chatterjee make the movie special.Every small role was given importance by Director. Shibprasad Mukhopadhyay was the real kick ass.His shooting with a drawn was a great idea.Location, cinematography, casting,costume,set designing,editing & Color Correction, Background Music, Sfx everything was just awesome.The story was Family Drama and different. The dialogue was the best of Indian Cinema.Some dialogue contains a deep meaning.It is worth to watch. And obviously in Cinema Hall. Specially I love the violin Music Part So Much ( O sa Mana na Mana )

One of the Best Family Love Stories.

A great family movie includes the value of a relation and its bonding. How we depend on our family to lead a healthy and happy life. If we can have a happy and satisfied family life our professional life also reflects the same. But we tend lose that happiness due to lack of love between relations. This movie tried to teach us how important its to keep that fire inside us burning and be responsible to its relations.

'Bela seshe' is a cult with mastered direction by the duo, proper & brilliant acting by Soumitra Chatterjee & Swatilekha Sengupta with strongly written & presented supporting cast & an utterly emotional story-line with soothing background music that will surely make you feel something after the end. Kharaj Mukherjee & Aparajita gave compact comic touch & made the movie more enjoyable. Every character have some allegations too much real from their side & they find something to enjoy with the life as the movie progresses. This movie seems to be too much real & applicable in our today's-life. That's why it is a 'Masterpiece'.

This movie is so nice and all actor are acting great and specially lead actor are great and story is very good .this movie is must watch and this movie is all time best movie.
