The greatest movie ever made..!
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I'm not sure whether the educational aspects of the film regarding the history of poetry during the 60's (The Hungry Generation) made up for the fact that most of the characters motivations and actions seemed contrived.Injecting new life into the tired old "Serial killing investigated by jaded/alcoholic/retiring cop" is clearly going to be difficult at the best of times, but this film was too drawn out for it's own good.The performances were fine, but when (apart from one character) they are not given much of a script to work with in the first place then as another reviewer pointed out, then it feels a bit "flat".I probably missed nearly all the dry sarcasm that others referred to and the denouement seemed far fetched to me.***************Spoilers Follow******************* I'll try not to spoil it too much here but the alcoholic ex-cop was the only character I thought was well written, but when he turned out to be what he was then I was left wondering about a few things: 1) The guy is so drunk when we're first introduced to him that it's hard to believe that he was capable of doing what he did. 2) The fact that he was an avid chess player and knew tons of poetry indicated that he was probably going to turn out to be what he was. 3) Don't they have any handwriting analysis in India? 4) Was he the other policeman's real father (the subs weren't good enough for me to fully work this out)? 5) You can be banned for life from the police force but then re-instated at the whim of a local inspector? ***************Spoilers End***********************Like I said: The subs weren't great so if I missed something then I'm sorry, but I think that Kahaani was a much better film in every respect.Cheers, Will
Baishe Srabon, a magnificent movie with simple script but holds you in your seats. Every actor is mind-blowing, and talking about Prosenjit- never once in my mind had I thought that he would be such a pleasure to watch. Prosenjitda is really talented. His acting skills -(minus) his dramewali crying and 'tollywood style' revenge = a perfect blend. And the movie was worth watching, a real pleasure. A movie that talks about obsession. I promise that from next time onwards I will watch Prosenjitda's movie if he chooses scripts like this, and by 'I' , I mean every person who never thought that Prosenjit could act so flawlessly.
The enigmatic way bumba da act surprises me. Sometime he will act in so called typical 'Bengali' films made specifically for rural audience & then he will give these performances. I am really amazed. About others frankly speaking this is the first time I have liked pramabrata. Raima & Abir were good too. Overall it is a spotless movie, everything ranging from screenplay, music, cinematography, camera, acting, and story were near perfect. There are some bold dialog throwing in the movie and few incidence that will put smile in your face but in most of the parts you will be kept guessing what 's going to happen next. Parambrata is a top cop given charge to solve a serial killing. Now his is struck between his girlfriend who also happens to be Abir's best pal and his work. Prosenjit is a former cop with huge experience and when Parambrata and other officers fail to find out any information about the killer, he arrives at the scene to assist Kolkata Police. Will they be able to find out the killer. This remains the question ??
A watchable film. Perhaps a bit too melodramatic at times,especially at the end. In general the plot is mostly predictable and a little flat. The good cop turning bad cop thing is a story we have seen in many many films and needs no new exponents but that is precisely what this film is about. The bright sparks are Gautam Ghosh's acting,which in all fairness was quite good and the soundtrack for the film which is pretty enjoyable. But that is mostly it and that's the problem. While it is a refreshing change to watch Ghosh's acting skills,its not what people go to watch a movie for..Everyone Else's acting is pretty mediocre and the direction,slack. Not a must watch at any rate but more of a film you should watch when you find you have nothing much else to do. Having said that,it is not a bad film,just that it could have been a lot better.
