About Aranya Rodana
Kalyani (Roy), an intrepid journalist, investigates the rape and murder of a tribal woman by a politician in rural Orissa. Later, she also investigates the criminal activities of a moneylender, becoming increasingly involved in the lives of the tribal people, adopting the child of the dead tribal woman. However, her editor either suppresses or publishes distorted versions of her stories. This is intercut with the journalist’s own troubled married life.
Directed by Biplab Roy Chowdhury, Aranya Rodana leans on a strong ensemble — Priyambada Roy, Master Ramdas Murmu, Laltendu Rath — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1993.
