Ghare Bhaire - A 1984 Satyajit Ray Film
1905. Winter. Bengal (India)
Ghare Bhaire -- the Home & the World is symbolic of a philosophical revolution in pre-independent Bengal. Ray brings out the pros & cons of the Swadeshi movement through the charismatic Swadeshi leader Sandip played by (Soumitra Chatterjee) who fights for the cause by basing his parasite like existence on Nikhil (Victor Banerjee) a liberal who urges his wife to explore and expand her understanding of the world beyond him. Bimala his wife played by (Swatilekha Chatterjee) is symbolic of the cloistered Indian women who are conditioned to think that their world begins, ends and revolves around the man they are married to. Nikhil quietly pushes Bimala towards discovering her world at the cost of witnessing her falling in love with another man living in his own home. Ghaire Bhaire shot against the backdrop of the Swadeshi movement is a story of the trials & tribulations of the human mind coming to terms with its own learning.
