Titli 2002

     With Titli, Rituparno Ghosh proved again his great prowess as a storyteller and as a director. The movie is a little more than one hour and a half long and yet manages to convey a whole life story within this span. The film starts with a wonderful Bengali song called "Megh Peoner" playing over the opening credits. It is a very melodious number superbly sung by Srikanto Acharya and composed by Debajyoti Mishra. What makes Titli impressive at first is its exemplary depiction of everyday life in a middle-class Bengali family. The scenes, the dialogues and the characters look most lifelike and real, at times so much that I felt like watching an ordinary routine day in the lives of real people. While certain audiences do not enjoy movies of this sort, I personally was completely engaged by the film's proceedings and found it very easy to relate to. The scene in the car with the mother and daughter having a chat about Hindi popular cinema while making their way to meet the father of the family in the airport on the first monsoon day was particularly well-made. I felt almost like a part of the film.
