first and i would like to admit that chokher bali be not my cup of tea . this movie be evidently not target toward the mass . it the type that critic would enjoy watch . the hype and publicity be quite misleading . i be expect something very dramatic like devdas . understand that the story and time period demand it and i find the movie extremely slow pace . i be a die hard aishwarya fan and and i regret to say that i think she be miscast . the role of chokher bali require an actress who can portray herself a subversive and not innocent and naive . everyone else give a good performance . tagore depiction of the human condition do come across the celluloid to give the movie an interesting theme .
