Antareen (The Confined) is a 1993 Indian film in Bengali language, directed by Mrinal Sen, based on a story by Saadat Hasan Manto. 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 do 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 Chatterjee, 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
A young writer (Anjan Dutta), seeking inspiration, is living alone in a friend's old mansion in Calcutta. One night he starts talking to an anonymous stranger (Dimple Kapadia) over the phone. The conversation soon develops into a relationship as details of their lives are revealed.
