I have not read "Noshtoneer" and though I have watched Satyajit Ray's version I don't remember it scene by scene [just because I watched it much ago]. So, I am receiving this in a fresh mind. So far I liked it. Charulata's loneliness and her transformation in Alom's  arrival is depicted  beautifully. Their common interests, love for music [literature in story], easy banters brought Amol & Charulota close - forming an exceptional platonic relation, more than friends but can't be directly defined by love. 

I loved all Amol-Charulata scenes .. The guy playing Charu's husband is not old but it's okay as that doesn't change anything significant. One thing that absolutely overwhelmed me was the cinematography .. garden scenes were treat to eyes, specially when Amol gave the paper to Charu and she kept in her book. The yellow flowers, the greenery, the BG tune - everything was merging into a symphony so natural. Loved it. 

About music, Rabindra-Sangeet "Jodi tare nai chini go" is used .. just for information, famous song "tere mere milan ki ye raina" from the movie "Abhimaan" is actually borrowed the tune from this song.

Watched Tagore's story after a long time so thought of commenting here...

Loved Broken nest .. Felt bad for both charulata and her husband.I remember while we were watching this show..my Dad said..how deep Tagore's thinking of characters is..its amazing actually... to find empathy even with charu's character when she probably has fallen for another guy inspite of being married.. though you do feel bad for husband..but you dont really get angry on charu too.. Poor her husband..I felt bad for him...when he wanted to give charu company..she was still a loner with him...😭 and indeed he was too...Sometimes things go too far..and it is not anybody's fault.. just circumstances probably...

That is exactly how I feel. I felt really bad for Charu's husband.  The financial fraud by Charu's brother did hurt him because it shattered his dream of running a newspaper. But I think it didn't break him yet because he knew he had his Charu with him. Charu was his support, his strength. But when he realised he has lost Charu that is when he really breaks from the inside. He knows that no matter how many times he tries to bond with his wife, to save his relationship it's not going to help.

At the same time you sympathise with Charu as well. The lonely wife. Music was not only her love but it was something very precious to her. Something that should be shared with people you love only, not with everyone. It was music only that brought happiness in her lonely life and Amal was the one who brought music in her life. That is why Amal is special to her. You feel bad for Bhupati but can't really get mad at Charu.

Also I feel that Bhupati was of the opinion that money is the only thing that can give you happiness. Yes money is necessary but real happiness comes when you spend time with people you love. I think this is what Rabindranath Tagore wanted to convey through this story. I could be wrong but this is what I understood.

Though in end Bhupathi leaves ..he says whenever you will write to me..i will come back.. and infact stops once to ask her to come along... he really loved her... just probably got late in understanding what makes her happy..
