it very tough to portray a tagore novel along cinematographic line . and if you forget an obscure production of 1967 then it the first time that chokher bali have be do on a grand scale . overall the set look fantastic with the right touch for make a successful period drama . prasenjit and so use to do crass commercial stuff make a good effort . i saw the bengali version and find that aishwariya voice be dub and which make her dialog delivery a bit poor . while the director do a good job portray each of the character with finesse and yet there be very little in the way of meaningful plot and probably a lack of the story itself . however the development of the character include those with minor role seem to be the strong point . it tough to make some tagore story into film and a only the visual part seem to get realize .
