Family's Fall: From Village Roots to Urban Ruin
7 Apr
Summary
- A professor's family moves to Kolkata for a better future.
- Urban life erodes family values, leading to estrangement.
- A crisis forces the family to confront their failures and seek redemption.
The film 'Pratyabartan (The Return)' chronicles the life of Dr. Dipankar Sanyal, who relocated his family from a remote Purulia village to Kolkata. His wife, Shalini, and their young daughter, Disha, moved with him, dreaming of a brighter future and urban opportunities.
However, twelve years in the bustling city transformed their lives. The pursuit of success and social validation led them away from their core values and from each other. Their daughter, Disha, experienced emotional isolation and sought connection through social media.
A critical incident drastically altered their circumstances. Dr. Sanyal, now a renowned surgeon, and his wife faced public condemnation. Instead of escaping, they embraced accountability, initiating a return to their origins.
This journey signifies more than a physical return; it's a quest for their lost selves. Director Samarpan Sengupta describes it as a powerful struggle against guilt, societal judgment, and for ultimate redemption.
