15 Park Avenue
Language:English
Director: Aparna Sen
Cast:Konakana Sen Sharma, Shabana Azmi,Rahul Bose, Waheeda Rehman, Shefali Shah
The movie is the story of two sisters Mithali (Konkana sen sharma) and Anjali (Shabana).The latter is a physics proffessor in a university and has a a couple of books to her name.
Mithali is driven by her search for her home and her desire to reunite with her family.
She even knows the address (15 Park Avenue, Kolkata).But there are a couple of obstacles - 1. there is no park avenue in Kolkata and 2.she hasn't been married. Infact she is a schizophrenic who lives in her world where she's married to a certain 'Jojo' and has four children.
Anjali, a strong willed woman, is determined to protect and take proper care of her younger sibling, in the process sacrificing quite a bit of her personal satisfaction.
We can see quite a few resemblances between shabana's character and Urmila's role in "Maine Gandhi ko nahi maara" or numerous other such films where a 'normal' guy/gal does a lot of sacrifices for protecting an 'abnormal' sibling/loved one .
Rahul Bose plays the role of a realistic yet gentle guy who attempts to bridge the ever widening chasm between Mithali's world and Anjali's world (or the 'real' world).
Movie poses interesting questions about reality and has a wonderful and thought provoking ending.
Performances are TOP notch.. Konkana is a darling. As always, Shabana plays her role to perfection. And we have waheeda emoting excellently as the helpless mother of these two.
Rahul bose is as reliable and as restrained as ever. Shefali shah too does a great job but her character is a bit cliched.
Cinematography is excellent.. especially the Bhutan sequences. Music is also cool.
Overall, a must watch. 9/10.
