Bipasha

Bipasha is the parallel character of Angela Warren in the short film Portrait, a adaptation of Five Little Pigs in the Bengali language released in 2018. Like Angela, Bipasha's elder sister, Manini is married to an artist Aveek. In the days just before Aveek' death, Bipasha had come to stay with her sister to celebrate Aveek's birthday. the rebellious and outspoken Bipasha does not get on with Aveek. She quarrels with Aveek about his affair with his "muse" Ramyani, and even throws an ash-tray at Aveek, just like Angela Warren throws a paper-weight in the original. Aveek is angry and threatens to send Bipasha back to her hostel. This is somewhat parallel to the relationship in the original although Angela is slightly younger. In the original, Angela always lived with her sister and Amyas Crale wanted to send her to a boarding school.

This bad relationship gives Bipasha a plausible motive for killing Aveek. After the quarrel, Manini catches her trying to tamper with a bottle of beer. Bipasha later admitted that she was angry with Avebek and wanted to slip some laxative in his beer.

However, when Aveek is found dead the next day, Manini must have thought Bipasha had done it through her tampering of the beer bottle. She then pleaded guilty in order to protect her younger sister. However, in this case, there is no backstory of the younger sister being blinded in one eye the elder sister injured her in a violent fit.

As there is no Carla Lemarchant parallel in the plot, Bipasha also takes on some of the roles assigned to Carla. Bipasha is the one who brings in a detective Pracheto Biswas seven years after Manini's death in order to clear her elder sister's name. Just before her death, Manini sent Bipasha a letter. This letter contains elements of both letters sent to Angela Warren and Carla Lemarchant. In it she asserts that she is innocent and tells Bipasha that everything "has been fixed". There is not reassurance that things are "all right" nor a statement that one has to pay one's debts. In this case there is no debt to repay because Bipasha had not been injured by her in the past.

Bipasha is portrayed by Swastisha Mukherjee.
