MUMBAI: Zee Bangla's latest fiction Chokher Bali will bring to life Rabindranath Tagore's masterpiece on the silver screen for the very first time. Inspired by Tagore's famous novel, Zee Bangla's Chokher Bali delves into the intricacies of human emotions like love, passion and desire.
Set in the early twentieth century, the story revolves around the lives of Mahendra, Ashalata, Binodini and Behari. Binodini, a beautiful young widow happened to stay with a newlywed couple, Mahendra and Ashalata. The beauty and charm of Binodini soon enchants Mahendra towards her. But as time progresses, Binodini gets drawn towards Mahendra's friend, the idealist Behari. How Binodini becomes the 'Chokher Bali' for Ashalata forms the trajectory of the story. The story, carved beautifully by Tagore, is a reflection of man-woman relationship and much more.
Earlier, Zee Bangla has adapted novels like Subarnalata and Keya Patar Nouko, into shows.
Chokher Bali, which launches on 30 March, will air from Monday to Saturday at 9:30 pm on Zee Bangla.
