Charulata (1964)

Drama,Romance,Action
In 1870s Calcutta, lonely Charulata, a bored, sad-eyed aesthete and frustrated wife of Bhupati, the wealthy newspaper editor of the weekly political newspaper, The Sentinel, feels trapped in a golden cage. Struggling with conflicting feelings, while trying to balance marital duties with literary aspirations, Charulata's world turns upside down when Bhupati's charming wastrel cousin, the would-be poet and author, Amal, comes to visit. Now, as both take an interest in each other's literary ambitions, a delicate but equally dangerous undercurrent of silent passion puts everything in jeopardy. Is there an escape from the pure magnetism of all-consuming desire?—Nick Riganas
