And that's what Vijay Anand and Jaya Bhaduri starrer Kora Kaagaz (1974) underscores. Hurting your partner through words is bad but keeping mum and suppressing your feelings towards him / her within yourself is worse.
Then it's the duty of the married couple only to at least maintain free and frank communication with each other (like we should maintain with MS) so that the issues get timely resolution and no eruption gets an opportunity to turn into a canker with the passage of time. There is no dearth of jealous people or idiots or free consultants or the ones who interfere in your personal affairs without any need or a right on their part for doing so. And which relationship can be more significant than the relationship of life-partners in wedlock. It destroys any relationship (howsoever strong it might be) the same way termite eats up wood. I reiterate on this page too - if you consider your certain relationship is a very significant one for your life, then never allow any communication gap to creep into that. Whenever I guide someone on interpersonal relations or self-motivation to do something worthwhile with the help of networking with significant others, I always assert one sentence - keep remember that communication gap is the biggest enemy of all relationships. The film is a lesson in both love and marriage. Kora Kagaz answers the struggle of intellectual lovers who find it difficult to enjoy marital bliss. This ultimately leads to break in marriage - hence the ultimate- eventual separation. Understanding leads to misunderstandings and the lovers start misinterpreting each other's sentiments. Though a dutiful loving wife of a sweet husband, Archana is very much the daughter of her mother, who with all good intentions intervenes in the day to day life of the couple. Seeds of marital love have not yet flowered into sweet joys of wedlock when whims and ego's of Archana and Sukhesh start clashing. Archana's mother is of a different class with materialistic notions of life and she too unwillingly gives her consent to the marriage. This love born out of intellectual impact is supported by the fond hopes of her father that leads to matrimonial alliance. Archana, an educated daughter of retired principal loves Professor Sukhesh.
