Satyajit Ray's film Charulata is based on Rabindranath Tagore's story The Broken Nest.The setting of story is of Calcutta in British India. Charulata is the bored, artistic, cultured, much younger wife of a newspaper editor and proprietor who prides himself on being a bold free-thinker. His charming young cousin, a would-be writer called Amal comes to stay and Amal and Charulata take an interest in each other's literary aspirations as well as in each other generally. The delicate pathos and subtle comedy of their romance is a joy, and there is wonderful audacity in the way Ray shows Charulata's life at the beginning while simply looking out of the window, studying the passersby with the engaged curiosity of a true artist. This film is a boost for the mind and heart.
