| Mimi Chakrabarty, Ganer Opare |
Ganer Opare a popular Bengali soap on Star Jalsha. This post consist of the videos of episode 15th February, 2011. For any other information of this soap please click here. Read the episode summery and review click here.
The script has now acquired a Chekovian character; just awesome! The subtle patriarchical power wielded by Chandrashekhar Deb, the remnant of the mercantilist class, who rose to power via collaborating with the Brits in Tea and Jute merchandise. Once they could shed their "mercantilist" character they adopted the subtly of cultural hegemony, by excluding and hijacking "Bengali Culture". This is what Foucault called the new regime of subtle sophisticated power which is harder to combat then the Monarchical power. The subtly with which the Jackal-like Chandrasekher played to boost Gora in public in order to destroy him in private shows the ruse of power. The machinations of bringing the entire women folk and breaking their resistance also depicts how a master architect can turn the oppressed against the oppressed by a subtle game of chess... to completely break the backbone of those who resist and thus remain in power while playing the role of a benevolent dictator...
ReplyDeleteGaner Opare is emerging into a dark and subtle Chekovian drama with super script and super acting.... Dipankar Dey plays the role of the wily benevolent cunning dictator so well.. it is precious...
Delicious to the core...

After mucking up the Maghotsav, the Ganer Opare Team is bent upon to muck up the entire serial. It appears that they are in a race to reach a climax and call it a day soon....... In the process they are not hesitating to throw all decency and etiquette down the window. ....The dialogues have become raw and slang. Punching some ‘Sadhu’ words here and there do not enhance the quality of the dialogue. . ........Instead of long duel of arguments and counterarguments with sharpness and rationale for which Tagore stood for, we are dished out raw and slang words like ‘SALA’, ‘Agun Jalea Debo’ etc. Did any of Tagore stories eulogise such uttering?.............The songs have become banal and insipid too. No longer the songs even touch, leave alone shake, our souls. I feel sorry for the promising singers like Samantak and Shamistha. Songs are forcefully injected without any care or thought................It appears the Ganer Opare Team has opted for the easier option of making this serial an ordinary tearjerkers with clichés and absurdities in order to pro-up TRP ratings. I believe they have got it wrong. ..................I had said in one of the earlier post that GO should not necessarily depict what happens in our everyday lives. Rather they should draw inspirations from so many writings of Tagore and try to show what ought to happen – what is desirable and sustainable................If they fail do that, which appears to be the case, they should dissociate the name of Tagore from this serial forthwith. For this they ought to make a public confession and seek apology of Bengali intelligentsia.
