**Storyline:**
In the early 1920s, Nobel Prize-winning Bengali poet and dramatist Rabindranath Tagore wrote the play “Red Oleanders” (also known as “Raktokarobi”). This lyrical and allegorical tale revolves around a compassionate woman who mobilizes the working class against a selfish and indolent king. Unlike many of Tagore’s other works, this play did not gain much recognition outside the Indian subcontinent and remains relatively obscure internationally.
The 2017 film “Red Oleanders Raktokarobi,” directed by Amitava Bhattacharya, is not a direct adaptation of Tagore’s play. Instead, it portrays a theater troupe’s efforts to stage a production of the play. The narrative explores how the troupe’s director, played by Shantilal Mukherjee, and its leading actress, portrayed by Mumtaz Sorcar, gradually mirror the dynamics of the characters they are interpreting. Bhattacharya, known for his provocative film “Conditions Apply,” weaves contemporary political themes into the story, addressing topics like democracy and independence.
While the film’s political references may be challenging for non-Indian audiences to grasp, Bhattacharya’s visual artistry and storytelling ambition shine through. The most compelling scenes in “Red Oleanders Raktokarobi” blend live theater, poetic symbolism, and Bollywood-inspired elements, creating an engaging viewing experience even when the deeper meanings are not entirely clear.
The film stars Kaushik Sen and Rahul, and it was part of the longlist for the 90th Academy Awards.
