Spellbinding Swastika!
30 May 2021
Being a Social Satire, "Tasher Ghawr" innately depicts Domestic Violence, scads of Physical Abuse, and a lone woman's desperate cry for help! A tragic yet stupefying delineation that reflects upon bitter verities of marital life!

They say, "Marriages Are Made in Heaven"; well, Reality at times beg to differ!

"The more that we choose not to talk about domestic violence, the more we shy away from the issue, the more we lose." - Russell Wilson

The narrative addresses Sujata; an Introvert by nature, who prefers to be unobtrusive and concealed in her private space. She finds comfort in taking due care of the household, prepping different cuisines, watering plants; you know the ordinary stuff. An amiable lady, all she ever wanted is a loving husband and a little family of her own.

But fortune has never been kind to her.

Consecutive miscarriages, Husband's illicit affair, unceasing abuses; all being directed towards Sujata, causing her harrowing agony and extreme distress. Behind her deceptive demeanor, one could clearly see that she's on the brink of a nervous breakdown.

Speaking of Performances; Swastika Mukherjee as Sujata is remarkable, to say the very least. Her immaculate charm is simply spellbinding! By breaking the fourth wall, inadvertently forming a deep connection that can't be expressed through mere words!

Cinematography and the Score played a pivotal role. While the precise framing and the authoritative shots brought a sense of serenity and cognizance; the songs just soothe your mind. A soulful composition that tugs at your heartstrings.

It's one of those priceless pieces of art that sticks in your memory. Securing a permanent place in your conscience! An articulately bestowed drama, that illustrates a housewife's anguished state of mind afflicted with apathy & negligence! Making a statement on behalf of millions of women's unheard confessions.
