Film TitleShakha Proshakha (Branches of the Tree), 1991, India, Bengali
Scene DescriptionTwo dramatic peaks are basic to the film's substance. One is the explanation of the unsociable reserve of Pratap, the youngest son; the other is the relentlessly frank revelation over lunch between Prabodh and Prabir, both laying out each other's underhanded business tactics. These two sequences aid in the full understanding of the conclusive part of the film. (5/37)
