First of all it is not a Hindi language movie, as it is written here. It is a Bengali movie based on Rabindranath Tagore's story with the same name. The story was written around 1915 and was way ahead of the time and naturally caused an uproar among the conservative minded people. And surprisingly it includes people like Bipin Chandra Pal. The story is about the conflict between narrow minded rich people against a woman with open and broad mind, literate and with great personality. Natually a complete misfit to this family as well as to the contemporary society. Acting is very good and sometimes look like a Ray movie. I don't know whether Purnyendu Patri made any other film than this or not, but it is of very high quality, though not popular. Worth watching it.
