Nityananda Datta

A happy family has debts to pay.

Dedicated to the memory of the great singers K. L. Saigal and Mukesh, this charming and unpretentious film offers a palate-cleansing change from the spicy “masala” epics that dominated its era, and features their superstar Amitabh Bachchan in a decidedly offbeat role.

Subeer Kumar (Amitabh) is well on his way to becoming India's top pop singer. He has no intention of getting married, but when he goes to visit his Durga Mausi (Mausi=mother's sister), he falls in love with religious, simple Uma, by whose voice he's enchanted. He marries her and returns to Bombay where he announces that he will never sing without Uma again. However, Subeer encourages Uma to sing alone and when her popularity is soon greater than his own, the seed of jealousy begins to grow... The major difference between Uma and Subeer is that she sings for herself, whereas he sings for the public. It is the difference between geet and sangeet. This is the root of the thing that later causes problems, and based on which the movie is named.

'Teen Kanya' is an anthology film based upon short stories by Rabindranath Tagore, as a tribute on the author's centenary. The title means "Three Daughters", and the film's original Indian release contained three stories, with three central female characters linking the stories together. 'The Postmaster' concerns an orphan girl who grows attached to the postmaster she is caring for after he teaches her to read and write. 'Monihara' is a supernatural tale about a woman obsessed with the jewels her husband buys for her. 'Samapti' follows a young man who falls for an unconventional girl from his new village instead of his arranged bride, the daughter of a respectable family. The international release did not include 'Monihara', and was released as 'Dui Kanya', or "Two Daughters".

19세기 중엽 인도, 부유한 시골지주는 그의 아들이 콜카타로 공부하러 떠난 사이에 그의 며느리가 여신 칼리의 환생이라고 믿게 되는데.....

부모를 모두 저 세상으로 떠나 보내고 어른이 된 아푸는 캘커타의 기찻길 옆에 있는 허름한 하숙집에서 살며 작가로서 이름을 알리기 위해 애쓰고 있다. 그의 친구 풀루는 작은 벵골 마을에서 열리는 누이의 결혼식에 그를 초대하나 신랑감이 정신적 결함이 있다는 사실이 드러나면서 잔치는 엉망이 되며, 만약 신부가 정해진 시간에 결혼하지 않으면 신부는 지독히 치욕적인 입장에 처하게 된다. 아푸는 당황하여 저항도 해보았지만 결국 강제로 그녀와 결혼하게 되고 십 대의 신부를 도시의 오두막으로 데려가며, 모든 불리한 상황에도 불구하고 그들의 결혼생활은 행복한 1년이 지난 후 아파르나는 아기를 출산하러 고향으로 돌아가 그녀가 아기를 낳다 죽었다는 전갈이 온다. 너무나 절망한 아푸는 자기 아들조차 만나려 하지 않고, 5년 후 탄광에서 일하고 있는 아푸를 찾아낸 풀루는 돌아와서 거칠게 자라 다루기 힘들어진 아들을 책임지라고 그를 설득하며, 처음에 아이는 자기가 아빠라고 하는 낯선 사람을 맹렬히 거부하지만 차츰 둘 사이에 조심스러운 신뢰가 자라나고 마침내 아푸는 아들을 어깨에 태우고 도시의 세계로 돌아간다. 사티야지트 레이의 이름과 인도영화를 세계에 알린 '아푸 삼부작'의 완결편이다.

벵갈의 부유한 영주 비스왐바르 로이. 하지만 그에게 더 이상의 추가 수입은 전무하고, 강의 범람으로 토지는 점차 줄어들고 허물어진다. 그럼에도 사치스런 생활을 지속하며, 저택에서 가장 화려하게 꾸민 ‘뮤직룸’에서 음악을 즐기고, 연주회를 열던 로이는 쇠락해가는 현실을 직시하지 못하고 옛 영광만을 추억한다. 벵갈의 가난한 소년 아푸의 일생을 연대기적으로 그린 ‘아푸 3부작’으로 인도영화의 선구자는 물론 세계적 거장으로 자리매김한 레이는 ‘아푸 3부작’과 마찬가지로 네오리얼리즘적인 시선을 유지한다. 이전보다 좀 더 침울하고 애조 띤 화면은 한 시대의 우울한 몰락 과정을 감각적으로 환기시킨다.
