Bollywood actor Bipasha Basu was apparently miffed with filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, for dubbing her voice in her first Bengali film Shob Choritro Kalponik without informing her. But reportedly, she wasn’t much upset after seeing the film as the voice hasn’t hampered her performance in the movie. Written and directed by Rituparno Ghosh, the film stars Bipasha Basu, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Jisshu Sengupta, Pauli Dam and Sohag Sen.
An emotional movie of death and loss, Shob Charitro Kalponik is the story of Radhika’s (Bipasha) journey into the life of her late poet-husband, Indraneel (Prosenjit Chatterjee) and the revelations and contradictions she learns about Indraneel as a poet and husband. She realises how much he romanticised their mundane, everyday life.
Yet in reality, he was often insensitive, negligent and apathetic towards her. She wonders about his dual identity. The film also made it to the Durban Film Festival.
