But to call Monihara the weakest link in Teen Kanya is disappointing, to say the least. Who can forget Kanika Majumdar's haunting eyes and fantastic portrayal of an jewelery obsessed wife, Kali Banerjee as the heart-broken and betrayed husband.

I would say this movie had all the moments - some funny, some gloomy, some subtle and some confrontational as well along with the perfect village backdrop.

Don't know whether Teen Kanya is available online. Thankfully I have the DVD. <br />I've seen Roja, but trust me everything pales in comparison to this. And don't even talk about Uphaar.

This one by Ray is such a wonderful one that I want to see it ASAP! The beginning reminded me of Mani Ratnam's Roja: have you seen it?<br />And do you know if it's possible to watch Two daughters on the web somewhere?<br />Thanks for a wonderfully written review (I yveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975451635895715233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-20484129238940938152012-05-11T06:55:26.105-07:002012-05-11T06:55:26.105-07:00@Anonymous: You said it :)@Anonymous: You said it :)Sharmi Adhikaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083912570793692960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-82103670005081012142012-05-11T03:22:21.264-07:002012-05-11T03:22:21.264-07:00Uphaar is closer to Tagore's original short st...Uphaar is closer to Tagore's original short story.
