Movie Description

Synopsis

Full Story:"Deep jele jai (To light a lamp) was a Bengali movie directed by Asit Sen. It tells the story of a nurse in a psychiatric hospital,played by Suchitra Sen. Sen's character is a part of a team exploring new therapy for patients who have suffered emotional trauma. The approach taken by the team is to offer these individuals an emotional resort,which is where Sen's character plays her part. Her role is to act as a friend and a lover for the patient,but at the same time,and at the same time deny any involvement on her own part because her role is purely that of a nurse who is helping the patient recover. She has to repeatedly break the emotional attachments that she comes to form,because as a nurse,she is a part of therapy. The movie looks at the over-looked trauma of the nurse who is used as a merely tool in the whole process of therapy. The end of the movie shows Sen's character being admitted to the same ward where she was a nurse. The last words in the movie are uttered by sen's character,who whispers out ""I wasn't acting,I couldn't"". Also cast among others,were Pahari Shanyal,who plays a veteran doctor eager to explore new grounds,but hesitant of the human costs. Basanta Chowdhury plays as an artist and a lover-scorned. The music was directed by Hemanta Kumar Mukherjee,and one of the songs,""Ei raat tomar amar"" (This night's just for you and me)has come to be regarded as one of the greatest and sensuous love song ever sung in Bengali. The movie is regarded as one of the greatest movies exploring emotions of a relationship. "
