Director: Santosh Sivan
Writer: Cathy Rabin
Cast: Linus Roache (saheb), Rahul Bose (T.K), Nandita Das (Sajani), Jennifer Ehle (Laura), John Standing (charles), Leo, (Peter)

Before the Rain - " The Road to the Sky"

by Santosh Shivan, flawless acting by Rahul Bose and Nandita Das...I would say this movie is similar to "The Painted Vail" by john curran where the fogy mountain, natures, breeze, a welcome feelings. Except shivan has done a little more justice in this film. Before the Rain is based on faithful indian who got betrayed by british, trust, forbidden love, mysterious, romanticism, indians who like to beat there wife, schoolmasters & gandhi who is after the independence of india, each role is chasing after "The Road to the Sky"

Forbidden affair between Nandita (indian women - servant) and Linus (english men - saheb, master) both married. Linus has a kid. Make love outdoor, under the magnificiant waterfall. They are wet under the water. and one day there secret revealed...

Nandita's searching for road to her love she wants to have good husband then her present, Rahul's is confused between two cultures and and thinking the road will be saving his country and people with jobs from saheb(Linus ), Saheb dream is to build the road to the sky...a road to his spices garden so he can do easy business and become more powerful, the schoomaster & gandhis are seeking for road to independence...

"The Road was Never yours" India was never saheb's, saheb was never Nanadita's, rahul was never related to saheb...it's time saheb to go back...and rahul to break the two world's dream and return to his movements. the fight for independence. It's yet confusing where rahul heading in to....in his village still or to the different destination to clean his sin??

The Monsoon play a great fact to build the road to the sky or hold it forever. a contract that Linus signed to accomplish his dream untill the Rain season. Monsoon, will it hold or wash away the dream? in this movie to me the symbol Monsoon uses as to wash the sin away, and give merci to all. Monsoon, Water, Drops, Nature are the Beutiful Purity of this movie. Water that wash your body but sin? can the water wash your sin away too? don't know but this movie make me think...

The director didn't do justice to give this kind of role to nandita das where it was meaningless. he could have done more in to it. Nandita she was a servant and if you closely listen her English she has proper grammar and accent. tell me just by learning from mouth to mouth can speak proper english diction? he should have putting more thoughts in to her scripts.

The background was beautiful, excellent photography, stunning waterfall, rain, tree tops, dew drops, magical nature rhythm, ponds, frog, monsoon, music, you can say a dream place, a little forest, i love love loved it...too beautiful, I only can imagine...It's really pleasent my visual...I have visually satisfied...

Overall all character did excellent job to giving a life to the movie. I had much more expectations...a little disappointing.

After watching this movie questions remain silent, in india still husband are not beating there wife?? are we not all planning to build our road to the sky? are we not all following our dream as much as possible? are we not...

Thank you Riton Dada for the movie. Really thank you so much.

Eid Mubarak!

Dosar - Companion (Infidelity and Aftermath)

Director Rituporno Ghosh


In indian cienma there are many many movies on infidelity but this one is exceptional...

I will talk about what i have liked about this movie...I just didn't like the ending despite that the movie is worth of watching...love the poem and music.

I like how the movie started with Rabindranath Tagore song...was singing "Chandreyi Ghosh"

aaj jemon kore gaiche akash
temni kore gabogo
aaj jemon kore gaiche akash
temni kore gabogo
aaj jemon kore

aaj jemon kore
chaiche akash
temni kore chaugo
aaj jemon kore

aaj hawa jemon patai patai
mor muriya bonke kadai
hawa jemon patai patai
mor muriya bonke kadai
temni amar buker majhe

temni amar buker majhe
kade r kadaugo
aaj jemon kore gaiche akash
temni kore gabogo
aaj jemon kore

A song that tells you the emotions of the beginning which held the movie till end. After the movie "Antarmahal" Rituporno give another brilliant, enticing, the era of this movie in black-and-white. To me because its done in B&W focused on story then the background color, which would of take away our attention. Ofcourse we love colors, brightness and affect that catch our eye. However in this Excellent cinematography only needed to focus on emotions, story, inner hunger, helpless, agony, hunting, expressions and many more that we would miss in the colorland.

Cast are superb Konkona SenSharma and Prosenjeet Chatterjee has done brilliant work together. Pallabi, Pramabrata, and others has done beautifull performance.

Story: in a car accident a woman who have seated in the passanger side killed. she was with kaushik (Prosenjeet). kaushik heavily injured and hospitalized without any sense for 3 days. kaushik's wife (konkona) ignoring the fact of his injuries. she is angry, but showing how she is not caring about the infidelity of her husband. she tried to control her emotions, anger, and wait until her husband is fine so she can leave him forver. she will not ask, she will not quite her life, she is shocked, betrayed.

konkona's friend brinda (pallabi) married and have relation with her old friend boby (parambrata) also friend of konkona.Three friend work together in a theater. konkona knows the relations between her brinda and boby. after her husband secret revealed she told brinda to go and tell her husband about her infidelity.

Rituporno focused on Married couple and relations aftermath...

the end...I wouldn't say...please watch...

I really don't like the ending at all. I have always admire Rituporno's work. but for this movie i can't agree with the ending. could have done better...

at the end I like poem...by Sugata Gangopadhyay

tomar thoth amar thoth chulo
jodio ei prothombar noi
chumbon to ageo bohubar...
eibar thothe mileche ashroi

jemon shob bhoyer golpe
doitto danob rakkosh r khoi
tile tile shukhoi rajkumari
ontomile rajputrer joy

tobuo khub bhitore badhahin
lorai chole shumbo nishumbher
prothom bole, phool ti chire khabo
ditio bole, hath pate shekh

ashole tumi dirgho shalmoli
shobar matha chariye torbor
tomar thoth amar thoth chulo
r je kichu okinchitkor



however this poem revealed and says manything in the movie.

Pro: must watch
Con: didn't like the ending

someone uploaded the movie here...if you wanna watch it.
