'komal gandhar'

the’ komal gandhar’ is a woman is a nation is a note.
a theater troupe is preparing for a performance of ‘shakuntala’ as jealousies and love start tearing into the lives of the actors. this time the poetic and mind numbing allegories and metaphor were a little more obvious than those in ‘subarnarekha’ or ‘meghe dhaka tara’ and perhaps that is why a little less effective. still tremendous in parts though.
some images i cant forget, the half completed railway track leading to the other side of the river and the newly created nation; the rattling of the toy on the pavement behind anasuya in the arcade at night.
