She had earlier directed a romantic flick ‘Prem Amar 2’. Now, Bidula Bhattacharjee is ready with his next film, a bilingual anthology film on love. Titled ‘Tasher Ghor’, it stars Rajeshwar Nag,
Ankita Chakraborty, Eshika Dey, Adrija Auddy Roy and
Anuradha Mukherjee. It’s a tale of four interconnected love stories that never had a happy ending.
The first story is about Tista who lost her husband Kushik in an accident.
However, their childhood friend Sagar has stood by her like a rock. A year has passed by and Sagar has published a collection of short stories. On Tista’s request, he reads out three of them. After the stories are read out, Tista suddenly realizes Sagar has written incomplete tales of love. All of them are gloomy and have no happy ending. Tista asks Sagar why these stories are not complete. Sagar’s answer is simple, he has lost his faith in love and that’s why for him, love is never enough and is nothing but existential crisis. But Tista tries to convince him that love exists in all forms and the reason they are sitting together and have each other’s back due to the very existence of love between two friends.
The second story revolves around Aritro and Sumi who have been living together for the last five years. This year too he surprised Sumi on her birthday and after an enjoyable party, they both go to sleep, completely exhausted. They wake up in an unfamiliar room and a strange writing on the wall that says “The door will open only when one of them dies”. The door opens on the third morning by itself. What happened and what was the motive?
The third story is set in a futuristic backdrop where humanoids are available on order. Annie orders one such male partner, Ron, who would also be gentle and soft hearted. Annie and Ron live on the top floor of a high rise building. Annie works in a bio tech firm and her partner, Ron, manages the house. Although Ron takes extremely good care of Annie and is, in all aspects, an ideal partner, he fervently wishes that Annie would reciprocate his feelings. In this kind of a situation, can human feelings develop and be sustained?
Meanwhile, the fourth story is about Sanjay and Turni who had lost their 5-year-old autistic daughter in an accident. A subsequent pregnancy resulted in an abortion, mainly on account of Sanjay’s fears that this child may also be autistic. Will their love for each other be able to overcome the turmoil in their lives?
All four stories have the essence of love, the warmth of love while the theme itself leads to an intense emotional ride. It will be interesting to see how Bidula executes the script.
