Satyanweshi,
directed and scripted by the noted Bengali director Rituparno Ghosh screened
under the homage category was really a hunt for truth. Rituparno has created
his mark in the panorama of Indian cinema. The movie has a charm of creative
vigour and inquisitive approach. The story unveils the kingdom of Arunangshu,
the ruler of the princely state of Balwantpur. He formulates a wishlist on his
death bed. He puts forth certain conditions for his heir, his son Himangshu.
The foremost one forbids him from marrying a non-Hindu girl and the latter
demands a legitimate heir within three years of his marriage. Bound by his
father’s condition of succession, Himangshu is compelled to marry Aloka, an
aspiring actress. After the marriage, the young palace librarian Harinath
disappears without any trace. This mystery occasions the arrival of the sleuth
Bomkesh and his author friend Ajit to Balwantpur. The visit is under the
pretext of an invitation for a hunting expedition. During the course of their
stay, they unearth many secrets involving the residents of the palace and the
topography of Balwantpur. They brought to light the fact that the court
physician Kaligathi killed Harinath as he was planning to marry the former’s
daughter Leela. She becomes pregnant. Later Himangshu and Aloka adopt the baby.
The story Comes to an end with the return journey of Bomkesh and Ajit.
The story
entirely wrapped in search of truth was totally inspiring for me. He succeeded
in carving out a niche of his own in the field of world cinemas. Audience were
brought to the world of inspiration by his creative genius .His movies left a
place in the minds of viewers forever.
