In mythology, ahalya was turned into stone by rishi gautam when she didn't did any mistake. It was indra who disguised himself as her husband. But she has to bear her husband's fury. Now, it's time to correct it. Ahalya is not at fault, it is men who should be punished. That's what shown in this video.
Wow... 😱😧 Beautiful description... 😁🙏
Amaazing...
tq smriti...
Now i get it clearly thanks
Good explanation .. but small correction, In story of Ahalya, Ahalya knew that its not her husband and its Indra, but she had crush about Indra before marriage. So she kept calm , even thought she knew its Indra. Thats why Gautham mahrshi gave her curse to become stone....that doesn't mean that she became real stone. He told her to correct herself by leading a life like stone ... Which is meditation by leaving worldly desires....its kind of punishment instead of leaving her. Once rama came to Ahalaya ashram, she left her meditation and went to her husband Gauthama..and Indra also got curse for having bad eye towards women..which is having eyes all over his body which made him ugly looking.
......so many mythological stories has some hidden things.
I am women and also support for women and . But this story is mis understood always.
There is one more detail in this film. In the beginning the old man says have u read Ramayana? This was kind of a warning that what happened with Ahalya in Ramayana could happen with him.
What should be the climax..? Whether these statues fight back? Will someone save them? Did Ahalya turned back into human again in mythology..?
@@EngineeroPlus i dont know abt the statues bt ya ahalya did turn back into human and was relieved of her curse when lord ram foot touched her when he arrived at her husband's hermitage on the way to sita's swayamvar.
@@EngineeroPlus Yes she did. When Ram's feet touched the stone, she became human again.
Also the inspector has been named INDRA SEN
What was the " Turning Point " in the Ramayan ?? and also
What was the " Turning Point " in the Mahabharat ??
( There is a similarity in both the Epics ) and is quite interesting .
Readers please answer ...

BhI ye kya story hakoi btay ga??
Just amazing!! I have read the mythological story about the panchkanya, amongst which "Ahalya" is the first. In that story, Indra disguises as Ahalya's husband and gets physical with her. When the real real husband appears, he curses Ahalya of infidelity and she turns into a rock.
In this story, the lustful Indra is turned into a statue and Ahalya alongwith her husband punish every man who tries looses control over his desire.
Oh now I get the reference..
Ahalya
Oww now I got the basic story line
What should be the climax..? Whether these statues fight back? Will someone save them? Did Ahalya turned back into human again in mythology..?
@@EngineeroPlus The climax should be a brief punishment / exile to all the men who disguised as Gautama Rishi. The men get punished in mythology too. In mythology, Ahalya is given by her human form after being touched Lord Rama. She gets a boon.
In the Ramayana, when Indra comes to Ahalya dressed as his husband and makes love to her, Ahalya, even being innocent was punished by her husband, Rishi Gautam for infedility and was turned into stone.
And here, Radhika Apte in the role of Ahalya tried to take revenge from any man who tries to take advantage of her by turning them into stone. The main catch is, had if Inspector Indra not went back to take advantage of Ahalya,deceived as her husband, he would have been saved and not turned into stone. So every man who falls in the trap turns into stone.
Parvathy It's all about lust. Always!
+Parvathy thanks for explaining the story... 😊
Parvathy this story is inspired by "ASHCHORJO PUTUL - PROFESSOR SHANKU" by SATYAJIT RAY, and yes.... has some Ramayana touch .... but not Ramayana story......
Tanmay Das - why are you spreading this bull shit?
Zing Zang lol
I have fallen for this actress. She seems like a really relatable and “real” type of person. I’ve come to notice that she isn’t afraid of taking on roles that are risqué or don’t paint her as the beautiful, innocent damsel in distress. In regards to this short film, I really enjoyed the storyline. What a twist!! All the actors did such a great job. Kudos to the film and directing crew. 9/10 rating
She's Radhika Apte..watch her movies. She's sooooo good

Beta tera doll Na 3 minute me ready horaha he 😂cause u have fallen for her .
@@sid-ram.6589 Haha😂 . I would love to fall for her anyways even after knowing the consequence. 😅
Drinking on duty is "no" but falling for another's wife "ok" ? 😂😂
Lol
When wife like radhika approaches that way, none is like Arjuna of Mahabharata
That’s exactly what the shirt film is trying to highlight on
We all have our vices.
Ne bojh thela😂😂
Just a little guidance and assistance to those who didn't get the objective of the story and didn't understand what Sujoy tried to convey.
In the Ramayana, when Indra comes to Ahalya dressed as his husband and makes love to her, Ahalya, even being innocent was punished by her husband, Rishi Gautam for infidelity and was turned into stone.
And here, Radhika Apte in the role of Ahalya tried to take revenge from any man who tries to take advantage of her by turning them into stone. The main catch is, had if Inspector Indra not went back to take advantage of Ahalya,deceived as her husband, he would have been saved and not turned into stone. So every man who falls in the trap turns into stone.
Suresh moorjani oh! now I get all this. Thanks a ton.
Thanks for clearing this up. I didn't know the real Ahalya's story.
So basically there are 2 magical powers in the movie.
and how did she turn him into a stone? what's that power??
please elaborate a li'l more for me as I'm a Muslim viewer and it just went over my head. it's getting hard to introspect the logical conclusion.
but tryin' !!
turning into stone is a metaphor for taking ones life away...making it lifeless like a stone...

Lessons learned:
1) 14 minutes can be more effective than 140 !
2) Don't sleep with another man's wife
3) Don't be Rambo and investigate in group
that third point though :D
victor misha haha
Hahaha
Lesson 4: Never trust a beautiful young woman who has willingly chosen a senile husband
victor misha i loved ur 3rd comment lolz dnt b rambo hahaha 😝😝😝
I see 2 story endings in this : it is upto the viewer's imagination :
1. Ahalya already knows that the person who comes to her is not her husband and the other person, she uses him for her physical desires and then gets her turned into stone so that it remains a secret ( 7 statues are shown in the end ) , that is why in the end she says " you don't be naughty like others " , in this version Husband doesn't know anything.
2. Ahalya doesn't know that the person who comes upstairs is not her husband , since his physical appearance has changed that is why she says " why did you lie that you are not good in Bed " , Ahalya's husband is aware of the fact that he can not satisfy her but he doesn't want her to leave him and that is why he keeps on sending different men to her wife , once she gets satisfied , he turns them into the stone so that the secret remains hidden.
Either way the story is awesome , In treta yug it was Ahalya (woman) who was punished for the lust of Lord Indra ( a Man) , here she is taking the revenge by turning the men into stone for their Lust
Interpretation#2 is more logically consistent.
In #1, how will the old husband (Goutam Sadhu played by legend Saumitra Chatterjee) not notice the suspicious statues.
@@baransam1 I agree , in this case , ahlya doesn't know anything at all..
The main lesson is flirting is not inviting someone to do sexually.
But it's hard for most of men to understand the difference.
Here in spain we have a word for that, calientapollas. Something like cock warmer, women who enjoy turning on a man and leaving them horny as hell, just for fun and ego
The PERVERT one do it ...but a educated and mature man don't ✌️😛
Why would a married woman even flirt with some other at the first place

Wow! And the falling of a doll when a newcomers come to house is to send message not to fall into the lust.. Greaaat. Now it make sense.
Millions of viewers?! Just for Radhika Apte. Her expose, expression, ensemble , embracing eyes altogether made the millions to view. Hats off to her ! Unbelievable - was she the one in Kabaali?! What an extreme expressions. God bless her
Who told millions of viewers for Radhika Apte only? No doubt that she did wonderful job but that doesn't mean ppl come for that. The making , story and everything is just brilliant and she is one part and she delivered what this exciting movie demanded. You cannot ignore the brilliance for a single actor.

Man I seriously can’t describe in words how amazed I am by this concept 😧😧😧
Seriously short films are extremely way better than 2 hrs long ass bollywood movies 🥴🥴🥴
Atleast we get to see new ideas here 👍👍👍
Seriously cudos to whole team 👏👏👏
I’ll never forget this story & can even share this with my kids in future as their bed time story ☺️☺️☺️
This short film has left my mind bursting with ideas and clinging thoughts while the movie remains a complex layer of metaphors and inner meaings. Perhaps this can be made a little bit clear if i dare compare the story with the original mythological one.
Dev Raj Indra , the King of Gods was once lusted by Sage Gautama's wife who was the daughter of Brahma. She was so beautifull that the gods themselves could'nt resist. Indra disguised as the sage Gautama visited her ashram when maharishi was out bathing. He offered himself to Ahalya and asked her for her love.Ahalya although sensed the celestial scent of Indra and saw through the apparation, still proceeded. Now this part of Ahalya's knowing is still in darkness as different text slightly differ in this context.
After the act, Indra on his way out was caught by the maharishi. The maharishi realising what has happened cursed Indra to have 1000 female vulvae on his body and turned Ahalya to a stone only to be freed by the tough of Lord Ram. Indra lost his title was discarded from heaven and went into hiding in the mortal world. Later these vulvae on his body was transformed into thousand eyes and henceforth was known as thousand eye god.
The story in mythology hightlights that how powerfull and righteous beings like the Devas can sometimes be intimidated and overpowered by the senses.So does the movie. Indra Sen's trapped in a doll may symbolises the trapping of a great soul in the human body. A body within the restriction of senses and hence sufferings. The take away of freedom of the police officer from livelyhood to a stagnant, immovable statue can be interpreted as the loss of Indra's kingship and delicacies of Heaven and hiding in the mortal world which is full of bondage and misery. The diminishing of consciousness, the overpowering guilt and the unbearable pain to realize that we are tied by our senses can be highlighted as the theme of both stories.Finally the moral being that we are the servant of our senses.We are controlled by it, moulded by it, constructed by it, acted and reacted by it. The senses sometimes may become stroger than the gods in ourselves and hence we give in to them, eluding rightousness. The only way to break free from this body of dolls and wax is to rise above our five senses.
Arnab Dasgupta wow! Thanks for the guide
Wanna have understanding like u sir.

Arnab Dasgupta very nicely explained.thanks.
Wow man..
Now I m regretting for Spending Uncounted hours for watching movies. 😤
Rewatching this after hearing the news of demise of Soumitra Chatterjee. RIP Sir 🙏
this is an incredible short film ! totally didn't see the ending coming ! especially loved the hand-held feel of the camera as it slightly shook in every scene, felt like a nice touch and added a sense of liveliness to everyhting. would to see more from this channel :)
Like the demonic magic power of Pope Francis.
it was really obvious if you know the real story
Well done! It's time to undo the so called mythological injustices. Now, the Ahalyas would not be someone's private property to be abused or cursed by anyone. Really awesome !👌
Really, nothing to say, there is no need at all for wasting money for going to the theatres. Feeling really good after watching this
Soumitra Chatterjee RIP. We will miss you forever.. Great loss for film industry.. We will remember you and we will remember this day 15/11/2020.
"Ahalya" name itself explains the concept😊
What does ahalya mean
@@amaldawood9463 She was a character in RAMAYANA. King of Heaven, Indra, was attracted towards a saint's wife, Ahilya. He knew she won't marry him as she was devoted towards her husband. When the saint had gone towards the riverside to take a bath, Indra disguised himself as the saint and visited Ahilya and took advantage of her. When the saint, Rishi Gautam, arrived and saw his wife with Indra. Ahilya got shocked to see that the person she was with was actually not her husband. Seeing this, Rishi Gautam cursed his innocent wife that she will turn into stone and only with a touch of pure soul, she can again get back to normal. Indra got the curse that his post as a king will always remain in danger.
@@rekhasingh2304 that's a lot for this explanation. I think you're talking about ur holy book or ritual. Didn't get a single word ,all gone above the head but u can be a really good writer
@@amaldawood9463 lol😂 thanks
I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THIS MODERN TAKE ON THE SAD TALE OF AHALYA. INSTEAD OF AHALYA, IT'S TIME FOR INDRA TO TURN INTO STONE. IT IS TIME FOR MEN TO BE PERSECUTED FOR THEIR WRONG DEEDS. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE.
Namrata Sinharay where is change do you see.impossible
Ahalya wasn't turned to stone. Gautama told her to do penance for her sin, unseen by anyone.
She accepts it voluntarily, and the 'she was turned into stone' is a bullcrap take, totally untrue.
Indra indeed bore the punishment as he was cursed to lose his manhood by Gautama, and he instantly turned to a eunuch.
Like the demonic magic power of Pope Francis.
@@vishalkrishnan007 wtf was her sin?😂 how would she have known that it was Indra and not her husband.. i mean she did literally nothing wrong and was punished

Everybody appreciating Cast!!!!! Why not Sujoy?????? Who created this masterpiece
Superb fantastic......Bengalis are born intelligent and creative....
This is a great movie, an example that can perhaps be even extended to serve as logic for rape cases. There are always three elements to commiting a mistake- Temptation (Ahalya), Instigation/Opportunity (The Husband) and your Character/Morality/Call it what you will (Indra Sen). At the risk of espousing philosophy, a mistake occurs due to your own lack in morality that leads you to succumb to temptation. So dont blame the temptation or even the opportunity, blame yourself.
Well explained...
what ??? the fuck !! what about the judiciary which does not work .. medical which doesn't work .. porn . drugs alcohol available these days much easily..
Azwachan's World
In this example both the girl and that old man purposely tries their best to seduce the inspector and especially at the scene where that woman pulls his hand on the bed, and puts finger on his lips knowing the man in question is the victim, so this is as you say it yourself a planned instigation of the crime. Even though instigation of a crime in itself is a crime where the perpetrator and the instigator are punished as equals, but lets say its not true, according to the law, if a crime like this was instigated by the victim herself, then it was done with her consent (but that's only if the crime actually happened). Where, in this case, she was never actually raped by any of her victims but if this is realized in real life supposing every magic has a trick to it, and the men in the movie are supposed to be in statue forever meaning the punishment for her victims is death. So the Mr. sadhu and that woman will be the only ones who will actually be charged for the murder of six men and the motive would be some sort of feminist agenda(if u do it, u will be punished, that is). So don't think if this kind of incident somehow happened in real life then you will be justified by the court, might be justified by hardcore men haters on the news or the public but not the court. Set that aside, it was a great movie.
@indrani..u r way of thinking is out of world n mesmerising...but point is not dat..rape happens not due to temptation infact every boy tempts but don't rape..its of looking a woman as prey n very objective perception upon women coupled with wild aspect in him is responsible for doing so..atlast these convicts are of animal i.e wild...
Its not ahalya... Its her hubby.. Mr. Sadhu
Very interestingly director has used d mythological injustice.
Here... All d men took d advantage of ahalya in disguise... Like indra did in ramayana... But what everyone has mistaken is that was rishi gautama who turned ahalya into a stone.. Here Mr. Sadhu turned inspector indra into a stone.... And dats why ahalya told her hubby is good in bed.. And also Mr. Sadhu told that she is his inspiration.... Here rishi gautama is shown to do justice...
That is my point of view
Purabi Misra Excellent Interpretation!!👍🏻
@@sonalraikwar7228 i didnt understand what u've meant saying thats why ahalya said sadhus good in bed nd he said ahalya is his inspiration
@@thatsnobody616 everyman holding the cursed stone endup looking sandhu... n goes upstairs to return the phone Testing his transformation n eventually falling for the lady Ahalya... so the lady never knows that it wasn't her husband you slept with her rather she feels n can see sadhu who actually isn't in reality..
@@thatsnobody616 not knowing the transformation ahalya always believes her husband is good in bed ..
Sadhu says she is inspiration because he wanted to do justice to mythological ahalya character.. n so he creates the stage for all Todays Indras who try to make advantage of innocent girls

I don't think any other short Film in an Indian Language(Bengali here) ever managed to get 4 million views within 10 days of it's release,which is surely a big achievement!
And thanks Sujoy Ghosh for making it in Bengali, Language really no longer offers an obstacle while it comes to story telling!

Think of the pain Ahalya suffered when she was turned to a stone. In this film, Indra at least got the space to tell of his pain, but Ahalya had none of it. Her voice is never heard.

No words for this one... beautiful.... When religious myths are re-told, we are reminded that stories are all that there is and there ever will be. We all are stories told and re-told over and over again, though the perspectives and meanings might change.

See the worsening thinking capacity of our society. Here in the comment section people are mimicking the character of the girl... Quoting "bulati hain lekin janey ka nahi"... Etc and what not. The creator of this masterpiece somehow lose the aim in front of these low minded people. They didn't try to understand the deeper meaning.... It's always been the same, from rishi Gautama to these narrow minded people-it is the girl who is being judged.
It's not correct to consider yourself a superior creature. If you truly believe in cinema for cinema's sake(or, art for art's sake) then you should respect creative possibilities in every art form and it's unlimited interpretations. I will translate a movie according to my understanding and you will do according to yours and so on
Take it easy. there are people like those models (sculptures) in the comment section
True that, coz mostly people are chutiya
You exactly said my words..!! However or whatever the incident is, it's always the girl who's been judged..

Best short film I have seen so far coming from an Indian Director. Seems like the concept was inspired from the movie Spoorloos. Still, something worth watching. Better than any bollywood flick.
Bharat Vohra Concept - Professor Shonku Aschorjo Putul :)
Bharat Vohra It's not inspired from Spoorloos. It is inspired from the character 'Ahalya' from Ramayana.
Bharat Vohra Have you seen 'two'? or 'piku'? (Not Bacchan)
Hari Charan Oh! I wasn't aware of that, thanks for your information! :)
Sayantan Dutta No, I haven't seen either of these. I have seen the one starring Mr. Bacchan.
The story of the film holds a very close resemblance to that of a short story called "The Landlady" by Roald Dahl ...I don't know whether this is intentional or not but I must commend the director's entire approach towords the screenplay...The way it has been associated with mythology and specifically the background significance of Ahalya makes it even more interesting ...But one should at least once go through the story by Dahl ...It a pure instance of his brilliant craftsmanship, and the ambiguous nature is even more inherent and prominent in that story .
BANG! What an Amazing Imagination this storyteller has! Wonderful Film!
This idea is from a Satyajit Ray story.
For Those, who Do not know this concept is based from Satyajit Roy's small fiction story named "Professor Shanku and Wonder Doll" or ""Professor Shanku o Aschorjo Putul ""....
Yeah. I thaught the same
Yes
Can you please share the copy of the story as a PDF
No. This short film doesn't have any resemblance with that Professor Shonku story at all.

Ohh my god,I have goosebumps Its 12:40am now And at the moment 2:55when the phone vibrates i started checking my phone and I m scared.......ufffff Its fantastic loved it please use earphones for the real feel.....
Only reason I started to watch short flims coz this kind of themes from mythology inspires me 💯🙌
The Indian Hitchcock (master of suspense) indeed weived an old tale from the Ramayana into a wonderful spooky take. Great KAHAANI, acting, audio and lighting. Kudos Ghosh. Saw an original short after long.
Anirban Ray Why hitchcock? Can;t we have our own suspense masters without being tagged with a western artist?
Do you hear anyone in the west being called american sujoy ghosh or something like that?
kayt j nice one. :).. Agreed
Anirban Ray You say it weived an old tale from Ramayan, which implies that it is inspired from a tale in Ramayan and then you say watched an original short after a long time. HAHAHA!
Tejas Joshi : You clearly don't understand what reweaving means. Yet, if you knew the myth of Ahalya, you would have clearly understood how this is original.

Wow! So many comments with Bulati hai magar ...
A female wearing outfit of her choice indicates vo Bulati hai.
A female being friendly with male guests indicates vo Bulati hai.
A female lying on her own bed carelessly indicates vo Bulati hai.
The movie creators failed to convey the message to some low IQ narrow minded viewers.
She didn't even know that the guy who had come upstairs was Inspector. To technically, usne kabhi bulaya bhi nahi. Incels ka motto hai ye bas *bulati hai magar..*
The director probably should have started with the disclaimer, "Not for the dumb ones"
@Salman Khan stfu, toxic incel. It's not our fault you're not lucky with the ladies. Go cry somewhere else.
@@ankita7342 she knew very well who was who. 13:13
@@navinksingh yes right she was just enjoying
I opened CZcams just to watch this video again..Soumitra Chattergee RIP ❤️
Layers subtext and metaphors. This film is so beautiful, ahalya rocks, and this film keeps up to its name. Nice satyajit ray take
ahalya rocks? is that a pun
Conveyed a beautiful message while reversing the event of stonification of ahilya to indra ...because at the end indra coveted her.
Enjoyed every second of this. The art aesthetics language lights acting story. A complete package.
শেষটার জন্য প্রস্তুত ছিলাম না,😶💖
Just Incredible👌💖
Some of the masterpieces are created in a writer's 'MIND Palace'.. It has no boundaries at all.. This is one of those.. Just take a character from history and then create a totally different timeline around that..
This Film I am watching for the third time and i might keep watching this repeatedly. This Film truly entertains you with Excellent Screen play, Cinematography, Direction and of course the superb performance by Radhika Apte, Tota Roy Chowdhury and the legendary actor Soumitra Chatterjee.
Better than thousand of Bollywood movies ...❤

Great..at last a film with no poetic justice. 👌✌️
How many peoples are comments and i😂 don't understand this short film 😅😮😢
OMG.....I Don't Have Words To Explain That How Much I Liked It....... Really Awesome Video........Great.......
Like the demonic magic power of Pope Francis.
I feel the exact same!!! The story unfolds such wonderfully, it hunted me to search for the meaning and the moral message hidden deep in this film by the brilliance of the ace filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh.

Radhika is a vision in this....gorgeous and i loved the elderly man’s accent when he spoke with British undertones.
Fantastic! Radhika looking so sensuous. My interpretation of this short film is that it tries to convey that the way the inspector and others got trapped in the dolls due to desire and karma similarly that's how we get trapped in bodies and forms due to desire and karma.
Respect! Sujoy Ji. I have no words. You Sir, are a genius.
Thanks for giving justice to ahalya...she was not responsible for anything but her husband gave her punishment... But here it is very clearly mentioned that all time a girl is not responsible for being disrespected or being raped .... There is also a boy always present....
...... IN MY POINT OF VIEW
All of three was responsible.
@@priyanshusingh2043 The girl is never responsible.
Madam she knew it was indra and she didnt stopped him.
I am captivated by this woman, Ahalya -- I have never seen anyone so perfectly beautiful ! Who is she, really ?
She is radhika apte

RADHIKA APTE
She is actress Radhika Apte
Can't wait to see your stone doll
This used to creep me out growing up and watching it to this day still has the same effect. Just the thought of them trapped in those dolls. OH MEIN.

Such mythological stories exist in our culture and we are unaware of 90% of them . Such great creation by Sujoy Ghosh tells us what champion he is and his vast knowledge that makes him think something we would not even think of !
He is telling all wrong story
THE BEST PART OF THIS MOVIE LIES IN ITS STORYTELLING AND THE SHOTS..THE WAY SUJOY GHOSH HAS SHOWN THIS STORY WITH RAMAYANA REFERENCE,ITS ACTUALLY A TREAT TO WATCH :))
Its simply awesome! Btw,RIP Soumitra Sir!
Amzing ...I've never thought that oneday I'll be in a trap of these shortfilms.....oh my god they are beyond the level of our imagination. And hats off to the writer and the cast ....they all did their job beyond the level.
i have no words to describe my feelings. I am shell-shocked. Simply amazing.
Best short film , and very nice concept and story line related to mythology..👍👍👌👌
I watched in my childhood it was even scary , back again I got touched with this short movie with inspired story of Ramayana
