Direction
Rituparno depicts the embittered relationship between mother and daughter with utmost care. The daughter's indifference to her mother's activities, friends and students are woven in with naturalistic dialogues. Scenes depicting Sarojini's celebration of her success on her husband's death anniversary, Aditi's refusal to take part in the celebrations, her lack of knowledge of her mother's intimate, everyday details (including a recurring knee pain) help the audience gain an understanding of their relationship. Ghosh's realistic cinematic style explore psychological realms of the two women through smartly composed dialogues and controlled acting. Movement through time is depicted through smooth transitions between the past and the present, which effectively reflect the character's state of mind. Debashree Roy and Aparna Sen both shine in their respective roles.

Famous quotes containing the word direction:
“When you know what men are capable of you marvel neither at their sublimity nor their baseness. There are no limits in either direction apparently.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“The mountainous region of the State of Maine stretches from near the White Mountains, northeasterly one hundred and sixty miles, to the head of the Aroostook River, and is about sixty miles wide. The wild or unsettled portion is far more extensive. So that some hours only of travel in this direction will carry the curious to the verge of a primitive forest, more interesting, perhaps, on all accounts, than they would reach by going a thousand miles westward.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
