She is the only one to come to Romita’s rescue and her initial pride and joy in her bravery gives way to acknowledgement of the cost that has to be borne.It is a terrible price that society extracts. Romita is a virtual prisoner in her house condemned to live in a claustrophobic atmosphere of eternal suspicion deprived of any freedom of choice while her molesters are given bail and move about complacently.Her comfortable belief in the goodness of those around her slowly gives way to the realisation that she is alone ,very alone She succumbs to family pressure and refuses to identify her molesters.But she does make a choice to leave.A choice that is hopefully the harbinger of something new! The desperation to cover up the so-called scandal,to avoid prying eyes and probing questions is brilliantly captured in the film The story revolves round the impact of society’s propensity to victimize the victim The refusal to stand up to evil assumes frightening proportions.An act of molestation becomes a lifetime of punishment. More than the heinous act of molestation,it is the insensitivity apathy and cowardice of society that sears our souls. It seems to engulf them and the families of those connected with the incident in a darkness they cannot escape. It takes just one incident for the world that Romita naively terms ‘interesting’ to crash.Her molestation by five goons and her rescue by Jhinuk has the effect similar to that of ink on a blotting paper. We may fill our lives with ‘props’ family,friends and distractions galore but all it takes is one “huff and puff” to blow it all away.Can the ‘houses’ we build withstand the storm of reality?The film forces us to confront this question. Will Romita’s marriage end ? Will Jhinuk marry? These questions hardly seem to matter. Both Romita and Jhinuk choose to embark out on their own not knowing what the future holds.

Dahan (1997)a Bangla film directed by Rituporno Ghosh,is in my view, a hard-hitting film that posits the quintessential aloneness of its primary women characters as their ultimate destiny.
