| Actor | Role | Notable Contribution | |-------|------|----------------------| | | Pishima (the ghost) | A career-defining, hilarious, and poignant performance. Her chemistry with her own on-screen husband (played by Anjan Dutt ) is unforgettable. | | Konkona Sen Sharma | Somlata | A restrained, luminous portrayal of a woman who uses traditional tools (jewelry) to negotiate modern freedom. | | Parambrata Chatterjee | Chhotokaka (Somlata’s husband) | Perfect as the gentle, ineffective zamindar son. | | Saswata Chatterjee | Sudip / various | Shows his range from villainous Kahaani to loving family man. | | Parno Mittra | Chaitali (granddaughter) | Represents the rebellious new age woman who finally breaks the cycle. | Bengali Movie Goynar Baksho 2013 12
