| Abstract: | The film begins in the present where Archana (Suchitra Sen) takes up a job as a teacher in a small village. When everybody starts questioning her staying away from normal life, she cannot but recall her life with Sukhendu (Soumitra Chatterjee), a serious University Lecturer. In the flashback, we see how Archana meets Sukhendu and how in subsequent meetings, she is most impressed with him and they fall in love much to the disapproval of her snobbish and interfering mother (Chhaya Devi) for whom Sukhendu is just not good enough for her daughter or their family. Archana, however, is adamant and with the approval of her father (Pahadi Sanyal) gets married to Sukhendu. The mother continues to interfere in the marriage constantly reminding her son-in-law of his poverty. Suffering from divided loyalties, Archana's problems are aggravated when Sukhendu insists her to cut off all ties with her mother. Archana separates from Sukhendu and stays independently completing her studies. When she finally accepts her wifely duties and returns home, it is too late as Sukhendu has resigned and gone abroad.
Saat Pake Bandha sees Suchitra give one of her best performances ever, a finely nuanced act, perfectly capturing the metamorphis of Archana be it physical, social, psychological or emotional as she evolves from a young college girl to a married woman unable to save her marriage. Suchitra ably portrays her helplessness as she gets caught in the crossfire between her mother and her husband with neither really caring about the effect all this is having on her.
In the film Soumitra Chatterjee more than holds his own, playing the perfect foil to Suchitra and having his moments as well. Chhaya Devi gives an extremely strong and believable performance as the interfering mother who is unable to hide her disdain for her son-in-law while Pahadi Sanyal effortlessly plays a kind-hearted and ever-supportive-but-helpless father roles to perfection. |
