You could search for It Does Not Die by Maitreyi Devi, or La Nuit Bengali Pdf. It's available on the Net.

From Wikipedia:

Production of the film occurred about a decade after Maitreyi Devi (the inspiration for the character Gayatri) published her version of the story Na Hanyate, (originally published in Bengali). She also extracted a promise from Eliade that his version would never be published in English. According to Ginu Kamani in "A Terrible Hurt:The Untold Story behind the Publishing of Maitreyi Devi", Maitreyi witnessed the making of the film "The Bengali Night," which was shot in Calcutta from 1987-88 (Eliade had died that year). Her protests culminated "in court cases against the film for insulting Hinduism and for being po*nographic". The film was only shown once in India at a film festival in 1989 to mixed reviews and was never released in theaters in the U.S. Kamani also notes:

Devi was bitter about the whole affair. She wrote in 1988: "Christinel [Eliade's widow] has hurt me very badly. She gave permission to a French Co. to film La Nuit Bengali. They came to Calcutta for shooting and gave huge publicity pointing at me as the heroine." It was a close enough breach of Eliade's promise that his book would not come out in English during her lifetime. But it is not known whether Mrs. Eliade was following her husband's wishes or her own.

Khamoshi had a similar plotline to Gulzar's film Koshish, which in turn was loosely inspired by the Japanese film Happiness of Us Alone. All 3 films deal with the story of hearing disabled parents raising a child with no hearing disability.

nice catch mogs. I think MD was quite pissed off at the sweet revenge of Eliad's wife. It is said, he was always in love with her.

Cherchez la femme.

Eliade got married? I thought he remained single till death. And your last line reminds me of the movie 'Kisna' where Vivek Oberoi's character's aged widow tells his equally aged ex-girlfriend Catherine that, "Maine pati paya, uska pyaar nahi. Pyar to woh sirf tumse kiya. Humesha, tumse aur SIRF tumse"..

That is quite an odd sort of revenge. Why would a wife acknowledge that her husband was in love with someone else and glorify it? I guess she did embarrass MD and maybe that was her goal. It still feels odd.

^Maybe she secretly dreamed of a threesome. 🤣
Did you watch the film yet?
