The movie was made in 2004 under the direction of Rituparno Ghosh. The story is based on Henry's famous short story "The Gift of the Magic". Throughout the movie, the director will play hide-and-seek with your feelings in such a way that you will end the whole thing after a kind of fascination. Aishwarya and Ajay Devgan are the main characters.
Like the sad love stories, this movie is no exception. Unemployed Manoj gets married in the rich house of his lover because he can't afford it. Manoj came to Calcutta in search of a job and met his ex-girlfriend on a rainy day after six years. Lover Neeru continues to give all the happy news of his worldly life to Manoj one by one. Alas! How happy both of them seem to be. In between the words, the wall of the two's memories began to hit, the time spent together. Throughout the story, there is no triumph of love, no intense desire for love. However, there is no opportunity to ignore. The story ends with a light sadness in the movie.
This movie seems like my current social media, where it's just a picture of everyone's happiness, the constant performance of being good to everyone, but who keeps the news of that silence at the end of the day? Even out of this normal life, man has a life of his own, the life of which cannot be told to everyone. Only the glamor of the outside and the performance of being good comes to the fore, this subject has been presented very subtly in the movie. Rituparno's "Piya Tora Kaysa Abhiman" and "Mathura Nagarpati Kahe Tum Gokul Jao" and these poetic dialogues will touch your heart.
There is no exaggeration in the movie, only six characters and the shooting of the movie is over in just sixteen days. And I can't wait to say something about acting. There is really a divine thing in Aishwarya, if the fictional character of a heroine went with all the poets of literature, it would undoubtedly be Aishwarya! Probably Devdas gave the best of his career in this movie after that. Raincoat won the National Film Award in 2004 for Best Hindi Language Film
