@fandomarcade tbh, the reason I read Chokher Bali in the first place was because we were given a project back in the tenth, to write about some notable female characters from bengali novels and a few people wrote about Binodini from Chokher Bali (I didn't). Though I don't have bengali as my subject anymore, I suddenly remembered my friends talking about Chokher Bali's Binodini then, and I was kinda irked at the kind of character they described Binodini to be. So I gave the book a read and hurts to say, they were influenced by the movie, not the book. I know Rituparno Ghosh is a splendid director, but the way he changed the characters and diverted the main storyline, I just can't digest so that's why I posted that message on my mb, to indirectly show a part from the actual storyline.
