Wikipedia article
'Ashangba Nongjabi' (English: 'Crimson Rainclouds') is a 2003 Manipuri film written by M. K. Binodini Devi. It is produced and directed by Aribam Syam Sharma. Bhogen, Lingjelthoibi and Ningthoujam Rina played lead roles in the movie. The movie is based on M. K. Binodini Devi's 1966 play of the same title. The play draws on the playwrights interactions with 'Ramkinkar Baij', the eminent sculptor, with whom she studied in Santiniketan, and who has left behind a whole suite of sculptures and paintings of Binodini.
Synopsis
'Gautam', an artist, determined to uphold his freedom, is torn between his two loves, both only too gentle in their demands, and yet deeply caring. A sensitive man, he chooses art, knowing full well that he lets them down. While 'Indu' would like him to change his lifestyle just a little bit, for recognition and comfort, 'Keinatombi' would be happy to give him the little care and comfort that she thinks he needs for his art. For the time being at least, 'Gautam' would go with her.
