We saw 15ParkAvenue by Aparna Sen recently .It is a sensitive portrayal of a Schizophrenic patient played very competently by Konkana Sen .Shabana Azmi has played the caregiving elder sister and Waheeda Rehman is the old mother .All of them including the once had been fiancee Rahul Bose have to cope with their own dilemmas ,hurts guilts and pain .Aparna has clearly brought out the fact that nobody not even the patient itself is responsible for this frightening sickness which cripples the mind .It is a matter of genes and sheer bad luck .I think every one must watch the movie if only to learn to be kind to the lost souls .Also if the care givers parents and siblings understand and acknowledge the helplessness of the patient it may be a little easier for them to accept the challenge of looking after such a person .Thank you Aparna for making a meaning ful film .
