Do we still have the appetite to be secular in India when majoritarianism is the new order of the world?How fair is it to look at Indian society through the pinhole camera of western social liberalism? Will the tribes of Gauri Lankesh, Govind Pansare and MM Kalburgi cease to exist in our country? Aparna Sen’s Ghawre Bairey Aaj is a tribute to these slain rationalists and deals with such questions through the clash between Nikhilesh’s idealism and Sandip’s realpolitik. However, what makes it fall short from Rabindranath Tagore’s novel is the emotional intensity of the serious love triangle between three central characters — Bimala, Nikhilesh and Sandip. Finally, the film becomes less of cinema and more of a social commentary.Ghawre Bairey Aaj 2019 Movie Download.
Tagore’s Ghare Baire too shows the conflict between the western and Indian philosophies. Our director today gives it a modern twist by making the crisis contemporary. Once a Maoist sympathiser and now a rightist politician, Sandip asks liberal journalist Nikhilesh: “Aam janata ki secularism mene neye?” and goes on explaining that it doesn’t matter what he believes in. Rather, according to Sandip, it is important to understand what is necessary to believe in this time. Through the dialogues, the director has carefully created Sandip’s character as a manipulative politician. Nikhilesh, meanwhile, represents the liberal, secular voice that most of the urban intelligentsia likes to hear in a bigoted society.At the same time, the film is also about Brinda’s (aka Bimala, played by Tuhina Das) love — first for her husband, Nikhilesh, and later, for her lover, Sandip. The film starts with Brinda.Ghawre Bairey Aaj 2019 Movie Download.
The love story blends with Sandip’s right-wing philosophy and Nikhilesh’s tryst with restoring faith in secular India. Several obvious reference points from recent politics in our country, like disputed land for religious shrine and incidents of mob lynching, give the film a contemporary touch. By the end, however, the intricate love story silently takes the backseat and it becomes a political fistfight.Ghawre Bairey Aaj 2019 Movie Download.
