arekti premer galpo means that the love between abhiroop and basudeb is like any another love story . it’s no different from that between two heterosexual people… . arekti premer galpo will also be the first film on homosexuality to be shot after the decriminalisation of section 377 of the ipc
december 28 , 2010 ( washington bangla radio / pen men at work ) : ‘arekti premer golpo’ , the first film on same sex relations produced by the bengali film industry after the decriminalization of homosexuality as underlined in section 377 of the ipc , has been received well after its premier at a theater in kolkata . kaushik ganguly , the director of ‘arekti premer golpo’ wanted a nandan screening for the film , but the state owned theater turned down the requests of the filmmaker on grounds of ‘arekti premer golpo’ being a film on a same sex relationship . well , kaushik ganguly did well in ignoring the protests of nandan and its authorities , choosing a city theater instead for the premier for his path breaking film . if reports in the media are anything to go by , ‘arekti premer golpo’ has done wonders both critically and at the box office .
ganguly is one of the finest filmmakers of contemporary bengali cinema thanks to his films like “shabdo” , “arekti premer golpo” , “chotoder chobi” , “laptop” and “apur panchali” , all dealing with unusual subjects and themes . it is natural that big . . .
alongside jaya , who is playing the role of padma , abir chatterjee plays lead in the film , while kaushik ganguly , renowned for making few acclaimed ventures like shabdo , apur panchali , and arekti premer golpo , will portray a special role in it .
earlier rituparno was this marginal genius who was his own but recently he had started interacting with directors like kaushik ganguly , whose film he acted in , arekti premer golpo . then he was collaborating with anjan dutt as well . he was also opening up .
when arekti premer golpo opened , most people were drawn to the theatres primarily by a curiosity factor — to see rituparno ghosh dressed as a woman . at the premiere , one got a sense of the somewhat embarrassed yet eager audience wholly uneasy . . .
in 2011 , ghosh played gay filmmakers in kaushik ganguly ' s arekti premer golpo and sanjoy nag ' s memories in march . his own movie chitrangada , which was released last year , reworked tagore ' s dance drama about the romance between the warrior . . .
this is a first best actor award for any bengali cinema in international competition , iffi . this award also completes a hat - trick for ganguly whose films ' arekti premer golpo ' and ' apur panchali ' had bagged awards at the iffi previously . kaushik . . .

the new bangla film arekti premer golpo to be released in 2010 is of interest for a couple of reasons . it is a rituparno ghosh movie , but rituparno ghosh will appear in the credits under the cast & crew scroller , since he is playing a lead role and not . . .
that it was topped with another award makes him doubly happy , said ganguly . “that ' chotoder chobi ' was selected for the competitive section at the iffi was an honour in itself . to me , it ' s more than winning a national award . both ' arekti premer golpo . . .
the versatile genius acted in films like ' chitrangada ' , ' arekti premer golpo ' and ' memories in march ' .
i was not only astonished at his unabashed performance but the sheer facet that this man has managed to come out of the closet ,

i admire him for his courage to defy the world and be himself ,
said bhaduri , who acted with rituparno in ' arekti premer golpo ' , a story woven around chapal rani ' s life . no one would know what dressing up like a woman in public takes more than bhaduri .
the new bangla film arekti premer golpo to be released in 2010 is of interest for a couple of reasons . it is a rituparno ghosh movie , but rituparno ghosh will appear in the credits under the cast & crew scroller , since he is playing a lead role and not directing the film . arekti premer golpo is directed by kaushik ganguly - one wonders if kaushik ganguly sometimes bounces directorial ideas off rituparno . the other actor playing the lead role is indranil sengupta . indranil sengupta was first seen in a tollywood film in the 2009 film angshumaner chobi after bollywood flicks like mumbai salsa ( get dvd ) and 1920 ( get dvd ) .
rituparno ghosh , a film director , actor , writer and lyricist had passed away on may 30 , 2013 at the age of 49 . rituparno ghosh , who had received national film awards for his work in unishe april , dahan , raincoat and utsov , had also acted in chitrangada , arekti premer golpo and memories in march .
while people have not stopped praising the first time performance of rituparno ghosh as actor , kaushik ganguly has been receiving compliments galore from within the film fraternity . directors srijit mukherji and atanu ghosh cannot stop talking about the film’s content and performances of lead actors rituparno ghosh and indraneil sengupta . ‘arekti premer golpo’ has won hearts , and how !
according to dr rajiv seal of fortis hospitals , who had been his physician for almost two decades , rituparno was also facing complications from hormone treatments after abdominoplasty and breast implants operations which he underwent for his role in kaushik ganguly ' s film , ' arekti premer golpo ' , in which he played a transgender filmmaker with a bisexual lover .

alongside jaya , who is playing the role of padma and abir chatterjee , kaushik ganguly , renowned for making films like “shabdo” , “apur panchali” and “arekti premer golpo” , portrays a special role in it . the film is reportedly a love story between a bangladeshi widow and an indian man . kalikaprasad bhattacharya , the recently - deceased musician - composer , had done music for the film .
arekti premer galpo is a tribute to chapal bhaduri who himself has acted in the film . he has shared his moments as a debutant , guidance and help from kaushik as well as rituporno . he has told regarding acceptability of homosexuality as well as compared . . .
arekti premer golpo is a path breaking movie in many ways . seldom is the issue of androgyny used in films , more particularly indian movies . the issue of man to man love has been there in many films , but such serious sensitive portrayal is remote . onir’s my brother nikhil dealt with it , true , but the vulnerability of those involved in it and the cruel intrusion of the society was not portrayed there .

aar ekti premer golpo is a 2010 bengali movie directed by kaushik ganguly starring rituparno ghosh and indraneil in lead role . rituparno ghosh is playing a “gay filmmaker” role in this movie . it would be most interesting to watch the much acclaimed director ruruparno ghosh doing a prominent role in bengali cinema .
the best compliment that kaushik ganguly received was perhaps from chapal bhaduri , the yesteryear theater actor who is also part of the star cast of ‘arekti premer golpo’ . chapal bhaduri gave a positive verdict after the first screening of the film in theaters . in a statement to the media , kaushik ganguly recalls how a common man walked up to him crying , revealing the fact that he was a gay but was afraid of voicing his feelings before watching the movie .

with his”shob charitro kalponik” on the threshold of release , something else is keeping rituparno ghosh busy . he is facing the camera in koushik ganguly’s”arekti premer galpo” ( previously titled chhaya chhabi ) as a gay filmmaker , abhiroop , with indraneil , ( basudeb , the cinematographer ) playing his bisexual partner . both of them live in delhi and they have come down to calcutta to make a documentary film . the director and his dop ( director of photography ) run into trouble while shooting the film , which forces them to leave calcutta and shoot it somewhere else .
indraneil hardly lives up to what could have been a brilliant opportunity to explore his range as an actor . if only the screenplay had aided the actors more : it seems to struggle to hold too much together . in spite of the rough edges , however , arekti . . .
but it is not only gay … the ‘subaltern - no - person’ existence is not even doubly marginalized , they are totally obliterated . the gays are marginalized , the are the women ( may be ) but this remaining oblivious towards the third sex altogether negates them from the societal periphery . interestingly enough this concept is not new to indian culture , cross - dressing had been a part of it from its inception , as obvious in the description of vishnu as mohini or arjun as vrihannala . but modern society remained always hushed up . it needed a jerk from the root to let the society face itself in a mirror with all its gleams and scars embedded on its face . now it is up to the society to decide whether it will accept itself as it is or put the veil again to conform to an apparent ‘normalcy’ . kaushik ganguly’s arekti premer golpo ( just another love story )
as the title of the film ” aar ekti premer golpo” , if scrutinized , suggests that it is “yet another love story” , rather unconventional or off the track relationship that the convention tends to browse at . the relationship between abhirup and basudeb is nothing a subject hitherto unconceived of . world history is abound in with homosexual relationships . socretes , edward - ii , richard - iii , james joyce , beetoven… . and the list is endless . what kaushik ganguly attempts to underscore is the burning issue , even though it has been lawfully decriminalized . it has to be borne in mind that homosexuality is the resultant aftermath of homosociality . the former is the sequel to the latter . rituporno ghosh , as the character calls for , is apt in the tailor - made role . ritu knows what he is . he has nothing more to make his credentials . from behind the camera he has brought himself before , not to earn new acknowledgment , nor to arrest audience by a startling portrayal , but to throw light upon the virgin territory , the society has not yet stept into .
rituparno’s brilliant acting , aided by sensitive performances by churni , raima and jishu , carries the film . jishu surprises with his intensity , especially in the tarapith sequences with the young chapal ( rituparno ) . indraneil hardly lives up to what could have been a brilliant opportunity to explore his range as an actor . if only the screenplay had aided the actors more : it seems to struggle to hold too much together . in spite of the rough edges , however , arekti is a welcome whiff of fresh air for bengali mainstream cinema , one that breaks the ice on a difficult subject in the right ways .
a rekti premer golpo disturbs you at many levels . for one , there’s always the sense of a deeper film lurking in the background , even as the screenplay struggles to keep several life stories and two different time - frames in balance . gay director abhiroop sen ( rituparno ) is in a relationship with his cinematographer basu ( indraneil sengupta ) . together , they set out to make a docu on yesteryear jatra actor and female impersonator chapal bhaduri ( who plays himself in the film ) . as the film begins , the two stories become entangled . while chapal’s narrative builds slowly in the film - within - the - film , roop’s own life unravels as his relationship with basu begins to fall apart . the irony of roop’s situation is driven home when he , apparently much more in control of his life and sexuality than chapal , finds himself equally emotionally ravaged by similar betrayals . ‘has anything really changed ? ’ the film seems to quietly ask . the emotional reality of the lives of chapal and roop forms the core of the film . their growing isolation , even from each other , highlights the failures of communication between generations and marginalities . but sudden , poignant moments of empathy succeed in shaking up both the status quo and the audience . it is one of the strengths of the film that it does not romanticise either the bond between chapal and roop , or roop and rani ( basu’s wife , churni ganguly ) .
this movie might turn out to be the boldest step forward for koushikda and co .

gabul you are right : ) : ) . sob salar dosh _ _ _ ache
the film shows the maturity of the bengali celluloid . the expression and the detailing of the charecter is outstanding . there is no doubt about the performance of indranil , jishu , chapal & mostly of rituporno . ritu’s expression , presence , dialogue don’t let us belief that it is his debut film . i feel every one should watch it , especially to understand what is love , how much one can sacrifice for love . the director’s spealilty is to reel out the parallel story of chapal & aviroop ( ritu ) . hats off to rituporno & kaushik
the people like pintu , gabul , samik are very much true that they are gay . but they don’t disturb any one or they don’t shout that you are straight . then why are you shouting that “sab sala gay” . i am very much sure that , if you people get the chance to sex with them , that time you people forgotten that they are gay , just doing for the “masti . ” actually you people never understand their felling until unless your brother or your son going to be a gay .
i really liked the treatment of the movie . however , “ushno tar jonno” , a telefilm by the same director on the same subject was more touching . kudos to the director / producer for deciding to make a movie on a theme which is contemporary and essential . if mr . ganguli is reading this , i must say , i loved the use of ‘khol - kartal’ when ritu is helping churni dance . the drawing of a parallel with chaitanya assumes significance .
can anyone tell me from where i can dwnd d movie , pls reply friends .
eager to see d movie……… good strategy koushik da . he has understood ki meshale film cholbe r public khabe . doesn’t matter public kothakar… pocket vorlei holo . . 😛

but doing so sen recognized that his life resemble chapal ' s life . the movie revolves around the trauma , the pressure , the setbacks , heartache and several situations faced by trans gender .
the film is about filmmaker abhiroop sen ( rituparno ghosh ) and his bisexual photographer basudeb ( indraneil sengupta ) . they are from delhi , into a homosexual relationship & come to kolkata to make a film on chapal bhaduri , the theater & ' jatra ' ( popular folk - theater ) artists who was a master of playing female characters in his golden days , when females were not allowed from bengali families to join theater . in reality he is homosexual , from his very earlier stage of childhood he realized his female soul in a male body . the film tells us his sad story of his life - how he was never understood by his surroundings , how everyone deserted him , how his beloved ones bulldozed his feelings throughout his life & how he spent his life for those who ditched him . while doing the film rituparno relates chapal with himself . he plays dual role in this movie . as a director & chapal bhaduri ' s youth role . when their life story intersects - they realize the cruelty towards homosexuals . chapal features as himself in the movie . he is one of the very less known , great actors of bengali cinema . the famous director rituparno ghosh , delivers one of the best performance ever in bengali language film . the film has a very good script , camera work , direction & acting team . it has portrayed tender touches for human relations with vivid & minute details . though it was made focusing on homosexual audience but it has won heart of millions throughout the globe .

in 2009 , the delhi high court ruled that the colonial - era anti - homosexuality law , section 377 , was unconstitutional and , therefore , void . in 2013 , the indian supreme court ruled that the high court does not have constitutional jurisdiction and reinstated the law . the four - year period between these judicial decisions remains the only time in the history of the former british raj ( india , bangladesh and pakistan , as well as sri lanka under british ceylonese jurisdiction ) that openly queer sexuality was not punishable by law . the 2010 release of the bengali film ,
) , the first ever post - 377 film that explores these identities , provides an interesting examination of queerness from an indian perspective that is not palatable apologia , misconceived and prejudicial humour , or radical subversion . rather , it explores the various ways in which queerness can be experienced in the region in an organic and personal way – and i specifically say queerness instead of lgbtqia because the acronym does not speak to the spirit of different sexualities and genders that make the community in india so vibrant , even in its oppression .
juxtaposes the real - life story of dancer and actor , chapal bhaduri , with the fictional documentary - maker , abhiroop sen’s quest of self - discovery . neither chapal nor abhi ( played by the late queer filmmaker and actor , rituparno ghosh ) are fully able to come to terms with their need for masculine desire and feminine expression , and this tension is , in my opinion , what makes the film so exquisite . growing up queer in a part of the world where a colonial hangover is one of the biggest obstacles to sexuality being voiced openly , understanding my true identity has been the longest and most painful journey to take . the entrenchment of homophobic practice is due in no small part to the influence of colonialism , which specifically defined homosexuality as an undesirable and criminal “other” in 1860 . and unlike the stereotypical coming - of - age story , the reality for me and for countless other members of the community is that the journey is ongoing and likely to never end .
encapsulates that dynamic perfectly by refusing to use labels to identify any of its characters . while speculation regarding the characters’ potential bisexuality or transness inevitably happen , the dialogue in the film itself shows how it is less fixated on fitting into neat boxes and more focused on simply living . in a scene towards the end of the story , chapal is getting ready to don a sari so that abhi can film him as his female alter - ego of chapal rani ( literally queen chapal ) while the two discuss their differing approaches to life :
abhiroop : why do you keep calling them feminine ? it is just a sari , it is just jewellery .
chapal : why not ? i only wear them as rani , not bhaduri .
chapal : does it matter ? i like knowing when i am being what . [ pause ] i think it bothers you .
chapal : it does ! it bothers you that an old man who has spent so much time being stigmatised and struggling is still more comfortable in his skin than you are .
abhiroop : shut up ! shut up or i won’t film you ! don’t make me do that ; you and i both need rani .
for chapal , queerness is performative . he does not become “they” but can be “she” when bhaduri becomes rani on - stage . it reflects the way in which identity was fluid but still used labels in pre - colonial indian tradition . ancient texts like the
all touch on the fact that , prior to the introduction of section 377 under colonial rule , queerness was understood as a navigation of the masculine and feminine . although labels were not used the way they are now – hence my avoidance of the term lgbtqia – there was still a wider sphere in which it was experienced . fluidity existed within these boundaries but chapal is quick to point out that even fluidity requires points of stability . he cannot fathom living in a world where “masculine” and “feminine” are erased .
abhi , on the other hand , is adamant that the two terms are irrelevant . he is a quintessential postmodernist , rejecting labels altogether . for him , life is not fluid because fluidity implies movement between spaces . instead , life simply
. yet , his stoicism has chinks in the armour . he simultaneously rejects gendering clothing and makeup while pointedly refusing to be labelled “madam” by members of the crew in an earlier scene , insisting that he is “abhiroop and sir” . ( a note here to point out that “madam” and “sir” are not in any reference to classist or hierarchical notions of respect per se , but were the terms used by crewmembers for abhiroop because he lived abroad and would have been comfortable with english terms of respect within the narrative of the story . ) like chapal , he is stubbornly sure of himself when challenged by characters who are not queer , but exceptionally vulnerable when faced with other narratives of queerness .
a vital sub - theme is the way in which women and feminised men are treated in indian society . chapal rani is abused and exploited , her agency actively removed by her patrons in both the past ( supporters of her art ) and the present ( abhi , as the financier of the documentary he is making ) , and her femininity used an excuse for verbally putting her down . likewise , abhi is shown to be most vulnerable when looking conventionally feminine , his crew second - guessing his work ethic and even his lover going from passive to dominant when abhi changes guises . it is telling that a film that is so openly proud of its queerness – with the majority of the cast and crew being queer individuals of colour – still displays a distinct lack of cisgender women , regardless of sexuality , and that any explorations of trans femininity are diluted by discussions of avoiding labels .
is a heart - breaking look at the history , the struggles , and the pride of the queer community in south asia . its narrative may be unique to indian theatrical practices of west bengal , but the themes can also apply to the rest of india , to bangladesh , pakistan and sri lanka , and even to nepal , which , at least legally , has a more progressive queer outlook . now more than ever , it is vital to have these discussions and explore these tensions . the next few years are going to provide a particularly fertile time for conversations on queerness and decolonisation .
on one hand , the uk is celebrating 50 years of its own decriminalisation of homosexuality in 2017 and , with brexit looming in 2019 , has already shown that it is keen to forge supposedly meaningful ties with the commonwealth in order to strengthen its international presence . on the other hand , many grassroots queer advocacy groups from commonwealth nations – including from india , bangladesh , pakistan and sri lanka – are gearing up for the commonwealth heads of government meeting ( chogm ) in 2018 as a platform to reopen the discussion on section 377 . universities and academia more widely are going to provide an important space for this particular movement as a lot of groundwork on chogm is done via research institutes and student bodies . narratives like that in
need to be grappled with so that a homonationalist and monolithic experience of queerness does not take hold . what is needed is nuance and , for a community that needs allyship and validation from both our own countries and the wider global network of queer liberation , the arts are a powerful and accessible way to do that .

. . . often i have mistaken . . . often i have been quite unreasonable as to hurt my friends . . . sometimes too selfish in my own way to fill up the lonely spaces that appears as ugly scars in my life . . . . and in the process i have all the more alienated myself . . . mounting expectations became intolerable pressure on my friends and it led to ultimate collapse . . . . but still i sit . . lonely by the window and hope one day will come . . . . and . . . .
the
other
is always intriguing . the “other” by virtue of their non - conformity are always on the wrong side . it never needs to be anti - establishment with a full galore , but just a little deviation tags someone “other” , the demarcation faces the fundamental question of righteousness though ! and our society , by the primal urge to multiply , has therefore accepted the heterosexual world to be the supreme , the one and the only one , the “straight” . societies are essentially phallo - centric , so one phallus’ submission to another probably endangers the epitome position of males in this society , thought to be dominated by them !
rd sex , bisexuality , vulnerability , hypocrisy and pathetic plight inflicted … lives are ruined but all are busy keeping up to that ‘expected normalcy’ .
the most interesting part of the film was undoubtedly the plot and the subplot played by the same people . the story of chapal kumar bhaduri , the yester year theatre legend , who enthralled audience by his feminine roles and who happens to be the first self - proclaimed gay actor of bengali stage , is just a trope . kaushik deftly uses his story to hinge upon his own story of androgynous people in the society , whose existence in almost wiped out for some obscure reason . the story of chapal rani is the sub - plot which universalizes the main plot where the delhi based roop makes a documentary on the legend . roop’s boyfriend is basu ( played by indronil ) , a bi - sexual man and his wife is played by churni ( character’s name rani ) . the story unfurls through the intricate psychological proceedings in the characters .
rituparno stands out as usual … what an actor ! he plays the role with aplomb . both his young chapal and roop are piteously vulnerable at the hands of the society . they are used , abused , misused before being thrown away . they exist in the ‘abyss of nothingness’ and even being great exponents in their fields they ever remain the butt of all ridicule .
indronil stuns as the helpless bisexual man , torn between love and social restrictions . he fails out in his balancing acts and seek recluse in a woman , albeit betraying himself . the last scene will remain one of his best ever acting … so helpless , devastated … he had loved roop genuinely but could not gather himself to discard the society , his wife and the unborn baby . he acts under absolute compulsion and obligation … his desperate clinging on to roop is heart wrenching .
the wife seemed to be as helpless as scheming . if she had to accept roop or chapal in her husbands life , that i felt was not out of her liberation . rather in chapal’s case she accepted under compulsions as she was bed - ridden and she had children . in case of basu she waited for the baby to come as she knew that she could score over roop in that point only . she didn’t have an answer when confronted with the question ‘what would have been her reaction had roop been a woman ? ’
the film is complicated … raising questions after questions …who gains from shunning these people ? rather people could have gained if they were let to live the life they wanted to . the film is an absolute mature deal with the issue . even if a wee bit of the cine - goers change their outlook towards these people … the film will be a grand success … bengali filmdom with this movie has finally attained adulthood . its not bold enough to portray nudity only … even without that this film stands out in its time … a film that will curve out a niche for itself … not for its content only , but for the handling of the same too .
super duper likes brother ! ! your criticism is a standing ovation to the film . . .
d ' hari - hara ' milan concept ( in conitnuam wid d ' mohini ' concept ) is also a classic exmaple of homosexuality in our mythology . . . . . . . . its acceptance has always been on a subterranean level . . . never was it explicitly mentioned . . for e . g . rabindranath er

. . there has been a sly hint of it as depicted in the relation between haimanti and bindi . . it was unusual . . yet portraiture was made to look most ususal . . . . . . . even in the usa cross dressing , ' gay ' ism is abhorred by a lots of youths . . . remember the queer theory will only be valid so long as it will be regarded as queer . . just like feminism . . . nowadys , women are so ' free ' is many societies that they consider feminism to be obsolete . . . . tor lekha niye r natun ki bolbo . . . . choto thekei dekhechi ki valo likhis . . r prosongsa noy ami nai ba korlam . . ota natun pathak ra koruk . . . one word . . keep on writin . .

so do we all start by acting , nearer we are to what we ought to be the more perfect is our acting and suddenly a time comes when we are no longer surprised by our borrowed plumage . . . .
- - katherine mansfield so true . . . . we just think we are this and that , often remaining oblivious f our true self and only when we suffer we get to know that . . . . but alas we still go on clinging to the borrowed attire . . . . . .

bangladeshi actress jaya ahsan has gained popularity in kolkata and recently she wrapped up shooting for kaushik ganguly ' s upcoming film bishorjon .
the national award winning actor revealed some pictures from the film ' s shooting spot at kalimpong , a hill station in the indian state of west bengal .
last week , kaushik ganguly tweeted that the shooting of the film is wrapped up perfectly .
ganguly thanked jaya ahsan , abir chatterjee , the production company opera entertainment , and the whole unit for wrapping it up nicely .
the film is based on bangladesh before its independence ( east pakistan ) , and depicts a romantic story .
it portrayed how borders try to detach people from each other while its love keeps them connected .
earlier , jaya acted in several films from kolkata , including arindam sil ' s aborto and eagoler chokh , indranil roy chowdhury ' s ekti bangali bhooter goppo , and srijit mukherji ' s rajkahini .
undoubtedly , joya , the multi - dimensional acting genius , is getting her strong footstep in kolkata gradually .

the kolkata bengali movie industry seems to have a sudden craze for alternative lifestyles . the recent flick cha - e - chuti , in spite of being a film that should have stood up for its skillful making and freshness , nevertheless became popular in at least some , if not most , part because of its depiction of romantic love between two women in a way that is far from the subtle portrayal of similar feelings in nil nirjane ( get dvd ) .
as you may have guessed from the fact that the lead pair is played by rituparno ghosh and indraneil sengupta that the lead pair practice alternative lifestyles . in fact , rituparno plays the role of a gay director and indraneil that of his bisexual cameraman in the film . the pair arrive at kolkata from delhi to shoot a documentary - the film depicts problems they face and eventually find a different location .

while creating the list i was wondering what films i should add . let’s face it ; we did not have 10 hindi films to write about . and why only hindi films ? a good film is a good film irrespective of the language . so , thought of creating a list with films from all over india that matter . films that need to recommended to one and all .
best soundtrack of the year ! it is going to be a cult movie .
superb script ! proved that a telephonic conversation can also be a film , and an entertaining one .
a role of a lifetime for any female actor . vidya balan nails it .
that last scene with all the characters in the hospital still gives me goosebumps .
