New Delhi:
As a person whose filmography boasts of stubborn characters, both in Hindi and Bengali cinema, Paoli Dam says it was interesting to move on to the role of victim in the revisionist story of writer-director Anvita DuttBulbbul. The Netflix film is praised for overthrowing the “chudail(witch) legend of a powerful feminist drama on the adulthood of a woman in Bengal at the end of the 19th century. Paoli Dam, one of the biggest names in Bengali cinema, plays Binodini, Bulbbul’s sister-in-law by Tripti Dimri.
Although he is elder, Binodini, whose name recalls one of the protagonists of Rabindranath Tagore in Chokher Bali, she must play the second violin to the young cushy Bulbbul, wife of the family’s much older patriarch (Rahul Bose).
The actor said in his initial reading, Binodini appeared as a clever person plotting against the bride to gain authority in the household, but as one deepens her life, she turns out to be a “tragic” character.
“I was confused as to how to approach her at the start because on paper she appeared straight. Then I realized that she was a tragic character in the film. As a child, she believed in what we asked her to believe without questioning her and she never She always respected the rule because she realized that she did not have the power to change because she was not the Badi bahu. That’s what made the character so sad. Little Binodini never grew up or had the chance to flourish, “the actor told PTI in an interview.
Paoli Dam, 39, said her character represents all of the women in society who succumb to patriarchy. “She is the victim of the society that existed at that time. So far, I have mostly played strong women and they take care. I was trying a victim for the first time. She looks a lot like the women that l ‘we see around “They cannot do what they want and succumb to the patriarchy of our society. I wanted to be the medium of his journey through the cinema, “she added.
Known for her roles in Bengali movies Kaalbela, Shob Charitro Kalponik, Chatrak and Moner manush, Paoli Dam debuted in Hindi cinema with Hate story and I followed him with Ankur Arora murder case.
The actor has since fallen behind in the Hindi film industry because she wants to play complex roles. “I’m looking for multidimensional characters like this something different from what I’ve done before. I’m a bit laid back. I get bored easily and don’t like monotony, so I need to take advantage of what I do. As an artist if I appreciate my job only then the audience will appreciate the role. I want to be part of the stories and characters that excite me. “
Bulbbul also stars Avinash Tiwary, Parambrata Chatterjee and Rahul Bose.
