Description: “Thana Theke Aschi,” released in 2010, is a notable film in Bengali cinema. The movie draws inspiration from Ajit Gangopadhyay’s play of the same name and Hiren Nag’s earlier film featuring Uttam Kumar and Madhabi Mukherjee. Saron Datta, the director, takes on the challenging task of reinterpreting this well-loved story for a modern audience, staying true to its roots while adapting it to contemporary times.
The film’s plot revolves around the suicide of Sandhya Mondal (played by Paoli), a woman who struggles and ultimately succumbs to her hardships. Her story is interwoven with the lives of the Amarnath Mallick family, portrayed by Dulal and others, who are preoccupied with planning their daughter’s wedding. The narrative takes a turn when Tinkari Halder (Sabyasachi) arrives, revealing Sandhya’s diary, which exposes the connections between her and each family member. Through this, the film explores themes of romance, suspense, and societal issues.
Saron Datta’s adaptation retains the essence of the original works while adding a fresh perspective, making it a memorable addition to Tollywood’s cinematic journey.
