Why Aparna Sen gave her nod to ‘Bohomaan’?

Anumita Dasgupta’s ‘

Bohomaan

’ which released yesterday (November 29) deals with love, relationships and friendships and it relates to everyone’s story. That’s why Aparna Sen gave her nod to the film which also sees the actor-filmmaker sharing the screen with Soumitra Chatterjee yet again. In the film, she plays Madhuri who has reunited with her lost love Salim Khan (Soumitra Chatterjee) after years of separation.

“To some extent, persuasion. It was Sohag Sen who introduced me to filmmaker Anumita Dasgupta and she said she couldn’t make this film without me. I wasn’t keen initially since I needed time to read and think for my directorial work. First, I didn’t like the script that much, but then it was developed further and turned out nicer. There was a certain contemporaneity about the script and it delved into rather complex psychology, which I liked,” revealed Aparna Sen when asked why she said yes to ‘bohomaan’.

‘Bohomaan’ also stars Bratya Basu, Arpita Chatterjee and Sohag Sen in pivotal roles.

‘Bohomaan’ is the story of two lovers crossing each other’s path after ages. The story sees Madhuri (Aparna Sen) meeting Salim Khan (Soumitra Chatterjee) after a long gap, still dealing with the agony of that separation. But, the reunion brings in colours of spring in their lives. While Madhuri’s son Subrata (Bratya Basu) can’t digest his mother’s ‘young lady in love’ attitude, his partner Joyeeta (Arpita Chatterjee) feels the other way acknowledging the changes in Madhuri.

While Madhuri and Salim go down their memory lanes, Subrata feels irritated with the happenings. Joyeeta meanwhile tries to calm down Subrata; however, it’s ultimately ends up in the acceptance of the son, as his mother wants to settle down with her lover. The communication gap between the two generations and the elderly couple's emotional turmoil form the crux of the story.
