Like always Mrinal Sen excels in showing a complex story in a realistic fashion. The conversations of the two characters sounds very natural. The movie has a mystery at every point and u are always lookin forward for more. Applaudes for certain camera angles. All in all its a fantastic film with some very realistic performances.
