Cultural allusions

Cinematic works by Vidhu Vinod Chopra often contain allusions to other important films and works of literature. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, the author of "Parineeta", was a contemporary of Rabindranath Tagore; both authors documented Bengali life and social issues at the turn of the century. The 2005 cinematic version of "Parineeta" pays homage to this relationship by referencing Satyajit Ray's film "Charulata", which itself is based upon Tagore's noted novella, "Nashtanir". "Parineeta" 's Lalita is dressed to resemble "Nashtanir"/"Charulata" 's Charu (Madhabi Mukherjee), particularly during the song "Soona Man Ka Aangan", which incorporates Tagore's song "Fule Fule Dhole Dhole." In both "Parineeta" and "Charulata", "Fule Fule Dhole Dhole" is sung while Lalita and Charu are each on a swing [ [http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050611/asp/nation/story_4854277.asp The Telegraph - Calcutta : Nation ] ] , [ [http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/mag/2005/08/07/stories/2005080700510500.htm The Hindu : Magazine / Lifestyle : Something new, something old ] ] .
