Bheetu is an intense psycho drama which weaves a story around two women (sisters), whose inter-personal relationship and their whole outlook towards life have been shaped by their experiences while growing up. There's the lingering memory of childhood trauma... of the younger sister being molested as a child while the elder one, paralyzed by fear, was powerless to raise her voice against the ordeal. The film delves into love, betrayal and resentful bitterness... but above all, it talks about FEAR, an emotion which feeds on us until one has totally surrendered to it. Hence the name - 'Bheetu', which means coward, or in a state where one has totally succumbed to fear.

The movie is based on the current socio-political conditions in the country and hardships the common man faces everyday in his struggle for an existence and how Netaji Subhash Bose would have reacted to all these if he would have been amidst us today. It reflects on the life and principles of Subhash Chandra Bose, firebrand freedom fighter. It is all about the Bengali roots that is being forgotten so easily today by Bengalees all around the globe. Hopefully this movie will re-instill the affinity and respect that Bengalis ought to have about their origin, rich heritage and culture.

The mastery of Satyajit Rays's writing and direction of Sandip Ray can be seen here.
