Bheetu Bengali Movie

We all want to shy away from our worst fears. But only when we have a conversation with fear, will we achieve a sense of comfort. Watch Bheetu to see eye to eye with jeopardy. Mar 2, 2015 By Anurima Das

When touches and stares gets scary. When thoughts and memories get darker even under broad daylight. All you want to do is hide! Hide away from the fears that make the waking hours difficult. What if you decide to fight? What if you decide to show the world that you are strong? Director Utsav Mukherjee's second stance as a filmmaker explores the subject of fear from all these trajectories in Bheetu (coward).

Sohini (Parno Mitra) is a strong woman, who likes to stand up for the everyday problems of urban livelihood. She has faced indecent touches and has been repeatedly abused at her own house, at a very young age. Her scars are soul deep and her hurt is invisible to the world. But her visible strong image is a portrayal of this deprived within. It is when her sister Rohini (Sudipta Chakraborty) comes home with her daughter Jojo, to stay with Sohini that a new chapter begins to unfold in their lives.

The bond between Sohini and Rohini is bitter, wrapped in grudges and untold misunderstandings that are years deep and has a link to Sohini's bitter scars of childhood. Sohini's dark realities begin to keep her awake at night and a shadow of which keeps lurking behind her through her everyday. A stalker in a secret admirer, a boyfriend who is too keen to save his own skin, a sister who is confined to a wheel chair and a past that acts like a trapdoor to hell. Sohini is not bheetu, she faces them with courage but to what end?

Actor Ritwick Chakraborty yet again proves his master class acting skills and inevitably the audience will hate him and scream in disgust with his amazingly real stint on screen. Parno mitra is bold and natural. Sudipta Chakraborty is strong and mature. Saheb Bhattacharya is soft and normal. Music, setting and costumes lend a more natural backdrop to Bheetu.

To summarise, Director Utsav Mukherjee shows us how to bend the path without breaking it, towards the right. He takes us through the cursed road to the alleys of discomfort ensuring that the round trip will be the one filled with relief and content. Watch Bheetu to see eye to eye with jeopardy and overcome fear!
