Short Synopsis:
Inspired from a real life incident and based on he novel of same name by Suchitra Bhattacharya, Dahan looks closely into the life and attitude of the educated middle-class in Calcutta. Dahan tells the story of two women, Romita and Jhinuk whose lives are turned upside down by a traumatic incident. When a newly-wed couple Romita (Rituparna Sengupta) and Palash (Abhishek Chatterjee) were attacked on the open road, nobody came forward to help. When one lone schoolteacher, Jhinuk (Indrani Halder), rushed to the spot she was hailed a heroine by the press. But punishing the assailants turned out to be a frustrating experience for her when even the victims and their family decided to back out. Director and screenplay writer Rituparno Ghosh made a pointed statement about middleclass hypocrisy in Dahan. The performance of each protagonist makes the film worthy of the accolades received.
