Darbaan is an adaptation of a short story by Rabindranath Tagore named ‘Khokababur Pratyabartan’ written in 1918. It is a story of an inseparable bond between the master and his caretaker. Darbaan Movie Review has a backdrop of Jharia in Dhanbad. It is the story of Naren Tripathi, a coal mine owner played by Harsh Chhaya’s son Anukul or Anu who shares a special bond with one of the trustable manservant Raicharan or Raichu played by Sharib Hashmi.
Raicharan comes back to the duty smilingly leaving behind his wife Bhuri played by Rasika Duggal. Then, we see an unfortunate incident which changes everything. Raicharan is blamed when Anukul and Charul played by Flora Saini lose their son. Bipin Nadkarni is a National Award-winning director of various Marathi films and Darbaan marks his debut in Bollywood direction.
Annu Kapoor’s narration gives a great value to the relationship which becomes an obsession between Raicharan and his Chote Sahab. All the songs in Darbaan are very melodious. Besides that, the background music by Rohhan Patel is also in sync with the narrative. All the elements of the film are good but its pace is a bit disappointing.
The movie is a unique story of friendship, loyalty, sacrifice and caregiving with powerful performances making it a great tale. It can be binged watched by all. All said and done, we have compiled Darbaan movie ratings from various sources for your convenience.
