This is the excellent film of director Tapan Sinha. The story begins with 4 Bengali widows and their niece, and they meet a boy (actually the story writer) on their way to Puri. They have different purpose. Writer wants to be off the day to day life of Kolkata and the ladies are going to make their niece calm. Because she had a break up with her boyfriend recently. But as movie progresses we find that relation between the writer and the other characters evolves amazingly. Actually movie wants to teach us the wise philosophy that life is ahead of us and not behind. Director uses the scenario of Puri and Konark smartly and every character is very purposeful. Nice acting from every character and their gleaming appearance.
