Charachar ( English language:Shelter of the Wings, Bengali: চরাচর) is a 1993 Bengali drama film directed and written by Buddhadev Dasgupta based on a novel by Prafulla Roy. [1]
Lakha ( Rajit Kapoor) comes from a family of bird catchers, but questions the value of catching birds. He, and the older Bhushan ( Sadhu Meher), sell their caged birds to the local dealer. Lakha's wife, Sari ( Laboni Sarkar), complains that he is not ambitious enough because he cares more for the birds than for her, and she starts meeting Natobar. Kalicharan, a city dealer, suggests they sell their birds directly to him. So Bhushan and Lakha take their next catch of birds on the train to Calcutta. Kalicharan invites them to a feast for the ceremony of the birds, with disastrous consequences. [2] [3]
