Plot
Roya is a middle-class Muslim woman that struggles to find herself in the sprawl of urban Bangladesh. When she discovers that she will be replaced by a younger actor for the role of Nandini —a central character of Rabindranath Tagore’s political play Red Oleanders —she battles to reconstruct the part, reclaiming her identity and sexuality in the process.
Sinekatalog’s take
A Bangladeshi drama about a middle-class actress replaced in a Tagore play who fights to reclaim her role and identity. It mixes theater, gender politics and urban pressure. Compelling for viewers interested in contemporary South Asian women's stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
