From Bangladesh to West Bengal.. to Sweden.. to so many places to lose count- the woman flies or flees. So that she can live, so that she can write what she thinks. So that she can sleep at night.

Her mind stays with her country, with her people. People, are they ready to accept her writing, accept anything that varies from the typical path of thinking?

Banished from her land, this writer's experience was the plot of this movie. The air of the movie held the depression of the writer, held her emotions- which I liked very much. Sometimes European music on the background, sometimes Bangla, it presented a very thoughtful atmosphere. It questions the spectators, whoever you are watching, can you live in this exile too?

The recitations of Bengali poetry throughout the movie brought extra charm. I was optimistic to watch this direction of Churni Ganguly and she amazed me so much! Such a good plot and good polish by the director. I would recommend this beautiful piece to you. Let's not forget a writer is an ordinary person. Let's not let the sword win.

The cat should be nominated as best supporting actress in all award ceremony.

The story is about Taslima Nasrin who was banished from her motherland first and later from India due to the protest of religious extremists. This is Churni Ganguly's directorial debut. She acted as the protagonist of the movie and potrayed the minute details of Nasrin beautifully. The name of her pet cat was BAGHINI, (means tigress) which is very symbolic in many senses, as the writer was no less than a tigress in her thoughts and the cat has been shown as her daughter, country, mother-tongue and smell of the soil. This symbolisation takes the film in another level. The background music was very good. The poetries were the soul of the movie. Actors and actress were apt for casting. In some places the comic relives seem unnecessary. Cinematography, specially the camera angles and editing were satisfactory. Ganguly proved that she can deliver good stories in future also.
