Serene and pictorial, Chokher Bali becomes convincing as a social critique by taking a genuine interest in the minutiae of family life and the interaction between erotics and politics. Go to Full Review

Hasnain I @shirsho 4 days ago Expectations were higher to be honest. Nothing to say about the story. The screenplay was good as well, very well articulated. The thing that took away the flavor was Aishwarya as Binodini. Despite being a great actress, the character looks very offbeat. I think it's just the language barrier, as she doesn't speak Bangla and needed a dub. In many scenes, the actress didn't show the depth the character needed. As the movie is built around Binodini, it hurts the eyes. Prasenjit as Mahendra was the most perfect cast possible for it, brilliant performance by him as well. Raima as Ashalata and Tota as Bihari were also very good. See more Jun 15, 2014 Well written and directed. Beautiful film! See more Dec 18, 2012 It's a good movie!!! See more Nov 18, 2012 totally awesome movie... nothing could have been better!! See more Jun 5, 2010 An interesting movie! Intriguing story plot. Aishwarya Rai stars. Very good if you like drama. A must-see! it was a nice and different experience, somehow it was weak but its ok. See more Apr 28, 2010 i never had anything particularly against aish before this but know i have reasonable motive to strangle her and hang her upside down. for any bengali who knows their cultural literature chokher bali is a masterpiece by none other than cultural god, rabrindanath thakur. instead of being cast for a role that requires u to wear a lehenga, look pretty and dance asihwariya was casted for a role that required the ability to portray a deep, complex charactar in a serious, sincere and thoughtful novel by thakur exploring the human mind and condition. obviusly if you choose a woman whose acting skills resemble my dancing skills, you will ruin a classic thanks aish, for dirtying bengali literature. thakur's soul has been upset.
