Agni Pariksha - Bengali - 1954 - Uttam, Suchitra

Agni Pariksha - Bengali, 1954 Director: Agradoot (The pen name of a group of Indian film technicians in Bengali cinema who together acted as the director) Music Director: Anupam Ghatak Lyrics: Gauri Prasanna, Mazumder Playback: Alpana Banerjee, Sandhya Mukherjee, Satinath Mukherjee Cast: Uttam Kumar, Suchitra Sen, Chandrabati Devi, Kamal Mitra, Anup Kumar, Suprova Mukerjee English subtitles included. However, this version contained subtitles for a different and shorter version of the film. Therefore, this version has untranslated dialog here and there, including missing translations from two whole 2-minute long scenes. The fools that did this also made it impossible to watch the film if you needed subs as they weren't even synched with the audio and video. Imagine how hard it was to straighten out this mess when the subtitles were never synched to begin with and the one doing the 'fixing' understood not a word of the language. Agni Pariksha (alternatively Agni Pareeksha or Agni Parikshya or Agnipariksha, transl. The Test Of Fire) is a 1954 Indian Bengali-language romantic drama film directed by Agradoot and starring Uttam Kumar and Suchitra Sen. The film was adapted from Asha Purna Devi's novel of the same name. The movie was remade in Hindi in 1967 as Chhoti Si Mulaqat also starring Uttam Kumar. Before that the movie was simultaneously made into a 1959 Telugu - Tamil bilingual titled Mangalya Balam in Telugu and Manjal Mahimai in Tamil. The story revolves around Tapasi, a singer who has been married forcefully as a child to an old village zamindar’s grandson Bulu. Back at home, her parents discover the truth and vow to wipe out every single memory of Tapasi ever being married. Years later, Tapasi has now grown up to be a lovely young lady and is in love with Kiriti. She introduces Kiriti to her mother, who approves of him, and plans to marry them. Things change when Tapasi finds out that she has already been married in her childhood. This creates a conflict in her. Others find out this secret and ostracize Tapasi. How will Tapasi and Kiriti deal with this stigma? Will they triumph in their love?
