ANURANAN

Directed by :Aniruddha Roy-Chowdhury
Music :Tanmoy Bose


ANURANAN is a bengali word which means resonance.Yes this movie is about resonance between two married couple.Rahul(RahulBose) and Nandita(Rituparna Sengupta)-made for each other couple.From London Rahul who is creative designer arrives in Sikkim to build a resort with his wife.Amit(Rajat Kapoor) and Preet(Raima sen) are the other couple.Amit is a business partner in India for Rahul's company, they developed good rapport when they were in London and they continued their good relation in India as well.

First the husband and wife relationship between Rahul and Nandita was lyrical,now then Tagore's lines and beautiful dialogues.The cinematography was great through out the film.Beautiful country sides of London.. These two are content with their life even though they do not have any kids.They both knew that they can not have kids as doctors told them she can not bear a child.Rahul and Nandita strike a chord at a different level which continues to reverberate. They experience a unique bond and emotionally connect with each other.

Quite opposite is the relation between Amit and Preeti.Amit speaks and do business everywhere.Preeti loves to read and go out.The friendship between the two couples creates way for Preeti to have greater bond with Rahul, as Rahul is very friendly and shares some common interest.The resonance between Rahul and Preeti is the crux of the film.

when Amit to London for a business meeting, Preeti meets Rahul who is in his worksite in Kanchenchunga ,they spent time in enjoying the beauty of the mountains and stays in a same house but in different rooms.Rahul dies of some cardiac problem,everyone started doubting the relation between the two including Amit.But the love between Rahul and Preeti is pure and she believes in her love.The understanding between Nandita and Preeti at the end of the story signifies a new relationship/resonance.Simple story told beautifully..

Rahul Bose is great as Rahul.He is a great actor, very natural.Rituparna Sengupta is has done a commendable job.Raima sen ,her eyes speaks more than her mouth..simply superb.Another feature of this film is music and cinematography.
Nice movie..
