1) The starting of the movie invoked in me two things, one is how wonderful the whole composition was and two, how Srijit did a wonderful thing by promoting this art of shadows which would help the contemporaries to prosper more into the commercial arena. 2) Samson: A perfect representation of a narcissist gone overboard. All of the scenes in this part of the story, I find, very legitimate. Well, actually, nobody could have portrayed the role better than Anjan Dutta. The story is based on his life only & how he is perceived to the outer world. A wonderful story, truly wonderful. 3) Sen/Tree: Am sorry to draw a reference over here but I couldn't help but being reminded of a movie that I had seen when I was a little kid...It was based on a South Indian Folklore where a village girl had the power of becoming a tree & a guy falls in love & then a branch breaks off & the girl becomes half woman half tree & then the movie ends with the guy ransacking the jungle for the lost branch....So over there, I first saw direct depiction of the presence of a soul in Mother Nature. Basically, the same thing is being shown over here. But with no margin. Why? because however 'It was symbolic' Srijit fans might hue & cry, a whitish liquid (similar to human secretion) falling down the branch & then when seeing the the girl is getting away, tantalizing the guy & then the whole natural wrath coming down. Why? Because the tree has a broken heart & is has become a deadly concoction of Devdas + Hulk. I mean seriously?! See, the nature's way of expressing love to us is very gentle & it is devoid of any expectation of any sort of any reciprocation. Definitely, Jagadish Bose was right when he said that trees have heart (pardon me for this bad analogy..:P). But that does not necessarily mean that they would have the same reaction pattern as the human beings. The perception of the human brain is like that. But if some one would argue saying that that the incidents were symbolic, I would say, it was a tad bit more symbolic when it was shown that the branches had actually broken! 4) Sen/Jisshu/ Female Dog: OK, being an avid dog lover & having a female dog at home, all I can say is after an initial hostility towards a newcomer at home, they tend to mix & gel well with the person, especially the Labradors. They are actually famous for being very very human friendly & very rarely do they attack like Sen was attacked. I mean, that actually never happens. & opening of the door & getting out of the car..I mean seriously?! In an advanced car with central locking, is it actually possible?!?! Not only that, if the dog is being taken out out play in the field, it just doesn't matter who accompanies her master as long her master is going. & the dog crying in the veranda...lets just not go into that... 5) Sen/Ritwick: OK...no complaints about Ritwick...but the corpse smiling when he's protecting her body from being violated??!! or Ritwick actually lying down in a similar fashion for marriage?... let's just put that there are similar pictures like Like Minds but it did not have to be this much explicit...
So in total, It was definitely a good attempt but I feel a bit of subtlety by avoiding the unnecessary bold explicit scenes would have added class to the film. Open to comments from everyone! & hope I haven't hurt unknowingly anyone's feelings or sentiments...
