When you are too deeply in love, it becomes a terror and constantly gnaws at your heart, This is the case with Ela, a pretty, young school mistress in Calcutta. When you are in love only lightly, it becomes a passion. This is the case with Batu, a dark, sombrelooking terrorist who does not understand himself. But when you are in love neither too deeply, nor too superficially, but idealistically, you are caught up, as it were, between heaven and earth. This is the case with Atin, the hero of this story, who finds himself between the two opposite poles of love and patriotism, and has to face an emotional upheaval-ZAIZALA! . But ZALZALA is not an earthquake in a few individual live, It represents an earthquake in a whole generation, the young Bangal of 1930. It is a page torn out of history, but with the intimate, emotional and dramatic impact which history cannot provide and which love can never hide. The lives of Elu, Atin, Indernath and Batu, like flotsam and jetsam caught up in the mighty cross currents in the sea of human emotions, and a maelstrom of conflicting sentiments and duties, have been evenly balanced by the director, Paul Zils, as if on on a razors edge. . ZALZALA is based on a short novel by the greatest writer of modern India, Rabindranath Tagore. The tender emotions of Ela and Atin are contrased against a harda and cruel background of a social landscape dominated by the darkening shadows of a foreign power. In such a situation, there often rises the conflict between the personal necessity of Ela and the social duty of Atin. Whenever or wherever this situation occurs, this conflict must arise. Thus, the apeal of ZALZALA is perennially universal. . How this conflict is resloved, a conflict which sets lover against lover, father against son, brother against brother, as it happens in this picture for this you must see Paul Zils ZALZALA, which takes you from one breath-taking sequence to another, mounting swifty to a terifying climax.
