Mayurakshi 2017

A father is lapsing into dementia . His son , living an
alienated life, in Chicago arrives in Kolkata to check upon him. The thoughts
of his father ,a brilliant professor of history, are stuck in some previous
time. There is no proper communication between the two, nevertheless
tenderness, nostalgia and flashes of recognition make the reunion worthwhile.
Life must go on. The son has no other but to leave his
father behind to lead his life. The father is happy to live out the rest of his
life in his own home.
Prasenjit and Soumitra Chatterjee are in amazing form. There
is no anxiety, no false move in their performances. It is almost as if they are
son and father in real life. A small,beautiful film, a worthy tribute to the
relationship.
