This film is certainly different. After 25:00, one begins to suspect it's a left leaning, typical of Bengali films and literature of that era, but still delightful, tongue in cheek adaptation of Come September, which one vaguely recalls had anither original (Upstairs, Downstairs? Was that English?).
And the performances, delightful! This level isn't often seen. The main characters seem to be the elder established Chhabi Biswas Pahari Sanyal, while the young pair Uttam Kumar and Suchitra Sen come in later.
19:00 - 21:30 one gets to see superb few minutes of Pahari Sanyal. Immediately it turns to Suchitra Sen's scene, introducing her for the first time in this film. Wonder who the other beautiful woman is, with a remarkable resemblance to Nalini Jaywant. Padma Devi, it seems.
