A Critical Reading of Ray’s Charulata: Transforming Words into Images Mohammad Aminur Rahman Lecturer Department of English Green University Bangladesh Md. Mohiul Islam Lecturer, Department of English BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology Bangladesh Abstract: Making a film by adapting a text has always been a big challenge for the filmmakers because in an adaptation a filmmaker has to consider the demands of the readers as well as of the audiences. However, Satyajit Ray became a successful filmmaker while making Charulata from Tagore’s “Noshto Neerh” by incorporating almost every possible way of adaptation. Through the meaningful movement of camera, by playing with lights and shadow; Ray has transformed the words of Tagore’s “Noshto Neerh” into an assortment of meaningful images, visualizing a vast amount of information in a nutshell in the film, Charulata. This study attempts to show how Ray has transformed the Tagore’s words into images in Charulata with his dexterity of arts and cinematography though adaptation is a derivative work with a lot of challenges to transform the words into meaningful images by keeping the exact extract of the text.

Satyajit Ray’s ‘Charulata’ Feels Like a Contemporary Masterpiece
We’re gently introduced to the Calcutta estate of a newspaper publisher Bhupati (Sailen Mukherjee), his brother and business partner Umapada (Shyamal Ghoshal), the various servants, and Bhupati’s seemingly aloof wife, Charu (Madhabi Mukherjee). They live and work in the same space, but it seems they are all operating separately to each other. Charu is particularly distant; her withdrawn body language suggests she barely knows her husband.
When Bhupati’s younger cousin Amal (Soumitra Chatterjee) comes to stay indefinitely, Charu looks at him with suspicion. Amal has been sent by Bhupati to keep Charu company while he focuses on the newspaper’s development. Amal floats around the house talking about literature and has a willingness to engage in open, aimless debate—the complete opposite to his politically-minded cousin, who wants to talk business and strategy.
