‘Deep Fridge’ Examined: Infidelity, Forgiveness, and the Aftermath

The Bengali film ‘Deep Fridge’ offers a marital drama centered on a husband’s infidelity on his wedding anniversary. The central tenet of the film, which seems to suggest forgiveness for the husband’s actions, is scrutinized. The reviewer highlights the societal implications. The wife, Mili, rejects her husband’s apology and chooses to end the marriage, despite pressure from friends. The husband then marries the woman with whom he had an affair. The film seems to explore the underlying dynamics that led to the event and the aftermath. The script is divided into three sections, symbolized by a dysfunctional refrigerator, which is parallel to the marriage. The film captures the past and present while featuring the roles of supporting characters. The review notes the performance of Abir Chatterjee as the husband, while Tanusree Chakraborty is adequate. The supporting cast’s characters are seen to be stereotypical.
