Antareen (The Confined) is a 1993 Bengali-language Indian film directed by Mrinal Sen. Although based on the 1950 Saadat Hasan Manto story Badshahat Ka Khatimah, the screenplay has a different ending. It stars Anjan Dutt and Dimple Kapadia.[2][3] Antareen was the first non-Hindi project Kapadia took part in since Vikram (1986). She played a woman caught in a loveless marriage. Insisting on playing her part spontaneously, Kapadia refused to enroll in a crash-course in Bengali as she wrongly felt that she would be able to speak it convincingly. Her voice was eventually dubbed by actor Anushua Majumdar, something Kapadia was unhappy with.[4]

At the 1993 National Film Award, it was awarded the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Bengali.[1]

Synopsis

[edit]

A young writer (Anjan Dutta), seeking inspiration, is living alone in a friend's old mansion in Calcutta. One night he starts talking to a stranger (Dimple Kapadia) over the phone. The conversation soon develops into a relationship as details of their lives are revealed. They chance met on a train, when Dimple was able to recognize him from his voice and way of talking, just as she reboarded the train at a way side station.[5]
