Looking at Society, through the Lens of Rituparno Ghosh

2. Titli (Butterfly)

Titli

Titli, played by Konkona Sen Sharma develops an adolescent crush on a Bollywood star Rohit Roy, played by Mithun Chakraborty. What will transpire when she finds out that this infatuation is unrealistic, not because of age or the fact of him being a superstar, but because of a twist of faith which is somehow associated with her mother Urmila, played by Aparna Sen. The film is extremely poetic in nature in terms of importance of the first drop of rain, Darjeeling, monasteries, a road journey etc. But this film has its own layer of complexities in the virtue of its simplicities.
