Darbaan Movie Review: This Rabindranath Tagore Drama Adaptation is an Insipid Affair
News 18Darbaan Director: Bipin Nadkarni Cast: Sharib Hashmi, Rasika Dugal, Flora Saini, Harsh Chhaya, Suneeta Sengupta, Varun Sharma Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s stories are universal and have an essential timelessness about them – 0ne of which is Khokababur Pratyabartan. I have not seen the film, but Zee5 has just begun streaming a Hindi adaptation of the Tagore story, and co-scripted and directed by Bipin Nadkarni, Darbaan – that is the title – begins in the early years of the 1970s when the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, nationalised dozens of coal mines, a move that ruined several wealthy private owners. Nadkarni’s Darbaan begins on a happy note in Jharia with coal-mine owner Naren Tripathi’s baby son, Ankul, sharing a warm and affectionate relationship with their darbaan, Raicharan. Years later, a grown Ankul buys the haveli back, settles down there and still nursing fond memories of Raicharan, asks him to take care of his little boy.
