Description: “Chaar,” a 2014 film directed by Sandip Ray, beautifully brings together four distinct stories into a single narrative. Featuring works by three renowned Bengali authors—Parashuram, Satyajit Ray, and Saradindu Bandopadhyay—the film explores a range of human emotions and relationships with simplicity and depth. The one-hour-forty-five-minute runtime is divided into four segments, each weaving a heartfelt tale.
The film’s emotional expressions are presented with purity and virtue, complemented by music that enhances the storytelling. Sandip Ray’s choice of actors, including Paran Bandhopadhyay, Saswata Chatterjee, Sreelekha Mitra, Rajatava, Sudipta, Swaralipi, Piyush, Abir, and Koel, is impeccable. Their performances are so impactful that it’s hard to imagine the film without them.
“Chaar” is a celebration of simplicity and warmth, leaving viewers with a sense of satisfaction. Its blend of compelling storytelling, talented actors, excellent cinematography, and sharp dialogue makes it a standout film. Long before its release, it was clear that “Chaar” would be a winner, thanks to Sandip Ray’s masterful adaptation of these classic stories. A must-watch for those who enjoy seeing literature come alive on screen.
