i know next to nothing about suchitra sen. but i knew and love her daughter and raima . so that make me wonder about the recluse mother . i do not know how i find this movie and but somehow the name come to me and i rent it . what a find . suchitra be irresistible a aartidevi . those luminous soulful eye . that restrain but emotional performance . i be totally seduced . i do not often bond with old movie . i find mughal e azam beautiful because of madhubala and the way she be present . and i feel the same way about this movie . the startling thing be how close to the end of suchitra career this be . in one way and it make sense and since she bring everything she learn to this role . but on the other side and when do you get to see an indian actress play this kind of role at that point in her life . all over the world and senior actress be force to retreat into the background while the juicy part go to the young woman . but here suchitra get an excellent part and do it full justice . i highly recommend this movie to anyone who be irk by the discrimination against the senior actress . suchitra show what we be miss because of that .
