In | In June 1947, the [[British Raj|British]] passed a bill regarding the [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|partition of Bengal]]. Delving into the grim history of the Partition, [[Srijit Mukherji|Srijit]]'s movie ''Rajkahini'' is weaved around a [[Bangladesh–India border|border between the two nations]] that runs through a [[brothel]] housing eleven [[sex worker|women]]. | ||
[[Bengal]] was broken up twice ([[Partition of Bengal (1905)|1905]], and then during Independence) - officially for demographic reasons and ease of administration - but actually, it was a strictly political move to curtail Bengal politics. The narrative follows the erection of the [[Radcliffe Line]] as the [[Indo-Pakistani border|boundary]] between the newly formed nations of [[Dominion of India|India]] and [[East Pakistan]] (present day [[Bangladesh]]). As both the [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] and the [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]] battle it out in courtrooms as to which side of Bengal will get which territory, in another part of Bengal is a brothel, situated right in the middle of [[Debiganj Upazila|Debiganj]] and [[Haldibari, India|Haldibari]] districts, which is the home and the world to eleven women and two men. Begum Jaan ([[Rituparna Sengupta|Rituparna]]) is the boss, while the other women work under her as [[prostitutes]]. Begum's faithful bodyguard is Saleem Mirza ([[Nigel Akkara]]), a Pathan, and Sujan ([[Rudranil Ghosh]]) as their man-servant and entertainer. Begum Jaan is not concerned about [[Hindustan]] or Pakistan, her only concern is her business, which is running badly because of the partition and resulting riots. The local master and Congress worker ([[Abir Chatterjee]]) visits the brothel time to time with gifts for everyone. | [[Bengal]] was broken up twice ([[Partition of Bengal (1905)|1905]], and then during Independence) - officially for demographic reasons and ease of administration - but actually, it was a strictly political move to curtail Bengal politics.
