Yesterday saw the movie "The Japanese Wife" in Prachi, Sealdaha.
The story is fine but very slow.
Snehamoy castes by Rahul Bose is a Arithmetic school teacher in Sundarban, and Miyage castes by Takaku runs a shop in a Japan. They were pen friend. Both of them do not know good English, so found letters to express their voice with the help of dictionaries. Like this way they got married. By means of their custom Miyage send a silver wedding ring to Snehamoy, and Snehamoy send one pair of "Sankha" made by conch shell and "Sindur" red powder to put in the top of forehead by Bengali wife to the new bride. Miyage used to send gifts, photos and on the occasion of their 15 years of marriage she send a box full of beautiful Kites to Snehamoy. There is a character of Sandhya acted by Raima Sen. She became widow in very early stage. She came back with her only son to stay with Snehamoy aunt.

Like this way the story progress, at the end Miyage's mother passed away and she became alone, in the mean time she got attacked by cancer and go back to Yokogama her brothers home. After knowing the pathetic news of his wife Snehamoy takes 6 months leave from the school and started to visit Homeopathy, Unani, Allopathy to discuss about his wife's health, and consequently send Indian medicines suggested by doctor's to Japan.
One day while coming back from Kolkata after vising a cancer specialist he got ill, after that his health did not turned around and Snehamoy lost his life.
