Are bonded souls symbolic of caged birds · thestatesman.com

Pinjar is a new Bengali movie directed by Rudrajit Roy.

It tells three stories that happen in both the countryside and the city.

The main story is about a man named Tarak who catches birds and sells them.

The movie shows how people, like birds, can feel trapped by their problems and fears.

There's also a story about a city couple who are not happy and a woman who has a secret relationship.

The movie makes us think about how we can be free like birds, even when life feels hard.

The director wants us to feel the emotions of the characters and think about what makes us feel trapped.

The movie is long, but it has a hopeful ending and is meant to be shown all over the world.
