Mukherjee Dar Bou

[3] Mukherjee Dar Bou is a story based on a modern dysfunctional family revolving around the complex and intricate yet caring relationship of a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law.

The story revolves around a Bengali homemaker whose name is not known until the end of the film, and who is mostly referred to as “Mukherjee Dar Bou”.

Aditi's married life is usual but it takes a turn when her father-in-law passes away and her mother-in-law finds it difficult to cope with the changed dynamics within the family set-up.

It reaches a breaking point when one day the mother-in-law gets angry and throws the rolling pin and the kid, Icche Puron, comes in between and gets hurt.

The film also touches upon how these cultural saying and habits are passed through generations of women, without careful examination or prejudice.

A relationship, apparently coated with hatred, will take a turn when two people hold each other's hands for good.

Not a clichéd saas-bahu saga - Bored of those daily soaps talking about kitchen politics?

Mukherjee Dar Bou is a film that talks about women's mental health and the growing importance of seeking help from a psychologist when needed.

For the first time, a Bengali film talks about the rights of those women who remain within the territory of home.
