I had the good fortune of watching this movie on Television and was astounded by it's profoundness.
The movie recounts the attempt of a frustrated Police Officer Probir Roy Choudhary (Prosenjit)to be accepted back in the Police Force. Abhijit Pakrashi (Parambarta) a young police officer has been asked to solve a series of murders carried out according to verses in Bengali Poetry. The verses allude to a period in Bengali poetry called "The Hungry Generation Movement"; a period characterized by rejection of conventional poetic canons and a return to the closeness of nature. Nibaron Chakraborty (Gautam Ghosh) is a struggling poet trying to keep the spirit of the Hungry Generation alive. Needless to say, this is a frustrated attempt as publishers continue to reject his offerings. The director keeps these two strands of stories moving at parallel tracks and towards the end a denouement occurs when the two tracks collide resulting in the young Police Officer understanding that to belong and be accepted can drive a person to taking flawed and morally ambiguous decisions.
The movie doesn't give any easy answers. Both the main characters Gautam Ghosh and Prasenjit make brave attempts to stand out and be different but in the end are forced to compromise.
A brave attempt and definitely deserves commendation for excellent story telling.
