Dosar

A teacher puts a glass of liquor in front of students. She puts a live insect in the glass. The creature struggles for sometime then dies. Teacher asks, “What have we learnt form this?” A student answers," Drinking kills harmful worms present inside our body.” This is an old joke but certainly makes one thing clear that different people look at things differently. Rituparno Ghosh once again proved this point when he thought about 'marital infidelity.'
Dosar is story of a woman (Konkana Sen Sharma) whose husband (Prasenjit Chatterjee) has an extra marital affair. She struggles with this fact all through the movie and at last forgives him. The movie is different as never before a movie has thrown light on this topic in such an objective way. Ghosh delights viewers by his unending zeal to experiment with the story and picturisation. Dosar is a Black and White movie. The director wants filmgoers to explore the shades of gray marital infidelity offers.
At every moment cinematography compliments the film. Aveek Mukhopadhyay should be congratulated for his work. A beautiful story by Sirshendu Mukhopadhyay. The story starts when Prasenjit meets a car accident in which his mistress dies. In the next scene Konkana is shown struggling with 'worry and hatred.' Her character follows the gray shades of the film as on one hand she hates her husband and on the other she supports her brother's relation with a married woman. The movie explores both sides of the coin.
Interpretation of movies or any art form depends on perception. Again, different people see different aspects. And that’s where directors like Rituparno Ghosh score over others. They help you understand the topic better by exposing you to all the aspects of a story. He is master of ‘objective entertainment’ (if a term like this exit).
