Kanchenjungha (1962)
One of the Greatest Creations of the Master
It is one of the best films that I've seen. The masterly crafted film depicts on one hand the withering colonial aristocracy characterized so aptly by the great Chhabi Biswas and a fast emerging post colonial emancipated youth played by Arun Mukherjee. There are other nuances that make the film so great. The abject loneliness of a housewife portrayed by Karuna Bandyopadhyay, the rendition of "Ë Parobashe Robe Ke, Hai" tells it all. The gloomy weather of Darjeeling hills has been so masterly used to narrate the inner essence of the film! The complex human relationship has also been portrayed with a masterly touch. The quintessential Pahari Sanyal had been in his best. The subtle defiance of Alokananda Roy is worth mentioning. Never to forget the playboy, Anil Chatterjee and overseas (Bilet) returned careerist N. Viswanathan. Overall a movie that has to be seen "Before You Die".
