I just wish SenвЂ™s script had given this fine actor an even larger canvas to play with. Also a special shout out to Sudipta (Chakraborty) for her impeccable comic timing as she leaves her mark as the dubious woman Chandan has an affair with.Д«ut I have to say that when I saw the awesome trailer, I was looking forward to seeing a lot more of one of my favourite actors, Saswata Chatterjee. Stripped of all make-up, Shrabanti emerges as an angelic beauty as the young Rashmoni. ShrabantiвЂ™s double role is worth a special mention. In memorable scenes where the ghost of Pishima smokes a hookah while Chaitali smokes a cigarette, over a chat or where the ghost of Pishima sits behind ChaitaliвЂ™s scooter egging her on to drive faster, we see the generation gap between the thakuma and naatni made apparent by the jewellery box, vanish briefly, as these women across generations share these moments of bonding.

The handing over of the jewellery box by the women from one generation to the next is a commentary on the changing times, and the changing role of women. Being young and politically active, she has little interest in the jewellery and gives it away for a cause. SomlataвЂ™s daughter Chaitali, the next inheritor of the box, played by Shrabanti is a pleasing presence in the film, as she represents the educated woman of the вЂ™70s. Somlata has the instincts of a businesswoman and uses the jewellery as capital to help her good-natured but slightly useless husband Chandan (played to the hilt by Saswata Chatterjee) to open a sari shop. KonkonaвЂ™s refreshing comic timing and sense of control as an actor adds layers of complexity to one of the meatiest roles she has played yet. She assigns Somlata, her nephewвЂ™s stammering faint-hearted wife played by the graceful Konkona Sensharma, to safeguard her jewels. Pishima hangs on to her jewellery box for dear life, and in death as well, to ensure relatives donвЂ™t get their hands on her jewels. Moushumi Chatterjee is the scene-stealer as the foul-mouthed, mischievous Rashmoni or Buri Pishima, who, being a child widow, is a вЂrebel with a very good causeвЂ™. The first half is laced with humour and wit and then the second half takes a more serious direction with social commentary. This loose adaptation of Shirshendu MukhopadhyayвЂ™s novel offers another вЂghostвЂ™ movie but with a signature Aparna Sen touch. Personally, I feel Goynar Baksho is one of Aparna SenвЂ™s best-looking films, and my heartiest congratulations to cinematographer Soumik Halder, who has truly brought a superior edge to Bengali cinema with his artistry.
