36 Chowringhee Lane

36 Chowringhee Lane : short review

36 Chowringhee Lane

Violet Stoneham (Jennifer Kendall) is an elderly school-teacher, whose life consists of a series of little routines - her walk in the park, church on Sundays, feeding her beloved cat Sir Toby, visiting her brother in an old-age home and teaching Shakespeare to generations of insensitive students. When a new principal takes over in school, she is relegated to drilling younger students in the elements of English grammar, as the new incumbent considers Miss Stoneham's views outdated. Her bewilderment and grief leave her especially vulnerable on Christmas Eve, as she walks back from church. A chance meeting with a former student, Nandita Roy (Debashree Roy) and her jovial fiance Samaresh Moitra (Dhritiman Chatterjee) cheers her up and she feels she has found friends at last. But this young couple is like all middle-class lovers in an Indian city - looking for a place to be alone. Miss Stoneham's apartment seems ideal. The story winds to its poignant, heart-rending finale, as Miss Stoneham realises the true nature of love, friendship and exploitation.
