Ashangba Nongjabi (English: Crimson Rainclouds) is a 2003 Manipuri film written by M. K. Binodini Devi.[1][2] It is produced and directed by Aribam Syam Sharma.[3] Bhogen, Khuraijam 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.[4] The play draws on the playwright’s 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.[5]
Determined to uphold his freedom, Gautam, an artist, is torn between his two loves, who are both gentle in their demands yet deeply caring. A sensitive man, he chooses art, knowing that he is disappointing them both. Indu would like him to change his lifestyle slightly for recognition and comfort, while Keinatombi would be happy to provide the minimal care and comfort she believes he needs for his art. For the time being, at least, Gautam will go with her.
