Bipasha dons the Bengali avatar

Bipasha Basu may not have had a release since Race early this year; however the dusky actress does have a string of interesting films lined up in the next few months. While she is already sizzling on screen with Ranbir Kapoor in the promos of YRF's Bachna Ae Haseeno, she will also be seen in White Feather Art House Films' Pankh later in the year.


Shob Charitro Kalponik is a film that follows the wanderings of a woman's mind. Bipasha shares screen space with noted Bengali actor Prosenjit who plays her husband in the film. Bipasha is seen dressed as a typical Bengali bride in this scene and needless to say looks like a million bucks.It's a refreshing change to see Bipasha in authentic Bengali sarees, rather than her ultra glamorous look. However, she looks equally sexy and sensuous if not more even in the saree. Bipasha plays Manisha a simple housewife whose ideologies clash with that of her poet husband which leads to frustration and tension in their relationship. What's more, she even gets attracted to her husband's friend in due course of time. A twist in the tale makes her view her husband in different light.



Rituparno Ghosh has worked with some really beautiful actresses of Bollywood, be it Aishwarya Rai (Chokher Bali, Raincoat) Raima Sen (Chokher Bali, Dosar etc.) Soha Ali Khan (Antar Mahal) and even Preity Zinta (The Last Lear). Now that he is directing one of the most beautiful Bong babes ever and that too in a Bengali film it would be interesting to see how he manages to get the best out of Bipasha.
