Review of Chitrangada

Chitrangada (2012)
9/10
A movie about wish.
1 August 2021
Chitrangada is a character of Indian mythology, who was born as a girl but raised as a man. She didn't know that she was a woman. Chitrangada met Arjun in the forest and seeing him, she 'wishes' to be a woman.

Rituporno Ghosh based his movie on this context. We see him playing the main role. I always find Rituporno's movies so distinct and beautiful. This one touched me even more.

A good movie is what you don't watch, you experience. And I did. The opening gave me a thrill with the dance play and the Tagore music playing on the background.

A bit of Tagore, a bit of mythology and Rituporno in his best- glued me to the screen.
