Abohomaan

The film introduces Aniket, a renowned Bengal filmmaker, and Deepti, an actress who sacrificed her career for love and marriage. They are portrayed as a perfect family, highlighting their deep bond and successful careers. Their relationship and mutual respect set the foundation for the story's emotional depth.

Aniket auditions a young actress, Shikha, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Deepti in her youth. Deepti enthusiastically coaches Shikha in acting for Aniket’s film, eager to prepare her for the role. This marks the beginning of Shikha's uncanny likeness and her growing influence on the family dynamics.

As Shikha trains and performs, she becomes more like the young Deepti, embodying the spirit of Deepti’s earlier self. Aniket is mesmerized by her acting skills and spontaneity, seeing her as a Muse and a reincarnation of Sreemoti, the name he originally gave to Deepti. This deepening admiration sets the stage for future emotional conflicts.

Aniket’s admiration for Shikha intensifies, and he begins to develop feelings for her, even though she is close in age to his son. His love becomes complex, rooted in her acting talent and resemblance to Deepti, blurring the lines between affection, admiration, and desire. Deepti remains supportive yet increasingly aware of the subtle changes.

Towards the end of the story, it is revealed that Aniket’s love for Shikha was rooted in his romanticized perception of Sreemoti, Deepti's youthful self. Despite her success as an actress under the name Sreemoti, Aniket always referred to her as Sikha, indicating an emotional connection rooted in his past love and memories.

Deepti, having sacrificed her career for her marriage and family, witnesses the emotional turmoil caused by her husband's obsession with Shikha. Her silent suffering highlights the emotional complexities and sacrifices involved in their relationship, emphasizing the depth of her love and sacrifice.

As Aniket nears the end of his life, he expresses a desire to see Sreemoti, the youthful image of Deepti and Shikha. When Deepti appears, it symbolizes his longing to reconnect with his past love, revealing that his affection was more for the idealized image of Sreemoti than his actual wife.

The film explores complex themes of love, memory, and idealization, connecting Aniket’s relationship with Shikha and Deepti to the legendary ties between theater director Girish Chandra Ghosh and actress Binodini Dasi. It reflects on how love and admiration can transcend time and reality.

Apratim, the son, lies to his wife in a manner similar to his father, mirroring the伝ated deception and emotional concealment in the family. This recurring pattern suggests a cycle of misunderstandings and hidden truths affecting their relationships.

The storyline subtly indicates that the love and emotional struggles are carried over through generations, symbolized by the shared relationships and secrets within the family. The term 'Abohomaan' suggests a legacy of love and deception passed down, blurring reality and memory.
