Kashmakash Review – wonderful piece of work

Kashmakash is Hindi dubbed version of Bengali film, Naukadubi, directed by Rituparno Ghosh. It is a cinematic adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's novel 'Naukadubi'. The director has beautifully presented the novel on celluloid. The film takes the audience to an unknown era and it's captivating.

Kashmakash deals with delicate relationships. Ramesh (Jishu Sengupta) falls in love with Hemnalini (Raima Sen), but he has to leave her and go back to his village after his father calls him. He ends up marrying the daughter of a hapless widow.

However, an accident takes Ramesh to another strange situation. He comes across a girl named Kamala (Riya Sen), whose husband has gone missing. He tries to find out her hubby and even puts up an ad to trace his whereabouts. As fate has it, the girl goes missing and his first love Hemnalini comes to know of his life. Where has Kamala gone? Whom will Hemnalini marry? Will Ramesh find Kamala's husband? Watch the film to find out all these unanswered questions.

The film has a strong content and director Rituparno Ghosh's presentation is wonderful. The director has brought legendary actress Suchitra Sen's grand-daughters Raima Sen and Riya Sen together on screen for the first time. Raima is incredible and she has done her role to the perfection. Riya is a revelation. She will surprise many with her performance in the film. Other lead actors Prosenjit and Dhritiman Chatterjee too have done justice to their roles.

On the whole, Kashmakash is a wonderful piece of work. You should not miss this film!
