Video Discription |
The story of Satyajit Ray's Monihara begins as dusk falls, when a village schoolmaster walks through the compound of an abandoned and derelict mansion and comes and sits on the banks of a river. There, he meets a stranger, and tells him that he has been writing the strange and rather tragic history of the former owner of the mansion — the rich businessman Phanibhushan, and his young wife, the beautiful Monimalika.
"Monihara" is a famous Bengali short story written by the renowned Indian writer, Rabindranath Tagore. It was first published in 1891 and later adapted into a film in 1961, directed by Satyajit Ray. The story revolves around a man named Bhupati, who is married to a woman named Charulata. Bhupati is a wealthy and successful businessman, while Charulata is a lonely housewife who feels neglected and unfulfilled.
One day, Charulata discovers that Bhupati has been spending time with her cousin, Amal, who is a talented writer. Charulata becomes infatuated with Amal and they start to spend more time together. However, their relationship takes a dark turn when Charulata discovers that Amal has been stealing her jewelry to fund his writing career. The story ends with Charulata burning her remaining jewelry and Amal leaving town.
The film adaptation by Satyajit Ray is considered a masterpiece of Indian cinema and won several awards. It stars Madhabi Mukherjee as Charulata, Soumitra Chatterjee as Amal, and Shailen Mukherjee as Bhupati.
