This is a gem and quite an exception in Bengali films
26 July 2022
The film released on 2019. But i didn't know about this film back right then considering the horrible condition of Bengali films right now. I watched it today. I have to say this is one of the best Bengali movies i have seen in a long time. The film carefully analyses the situation of the women in our family and the so called patriarchal society is not only harming only women but men too. This is quite refreshing to watch a movie on a topic which is common thing in daily soaps. The performances are top notch. Script is adorable too.

Vikram (2022)
4/10
An exhausting and boring watch
10 July 2022
This film barely manages to engage me. This film has many flaws and the screenplay is not well written. Lokesh thought that Kamal Hasan's familial bondings with grand child and son will evoke the audiences' sympathy. But, i can remember the the last sequence of Lokesh's another fantastic movie Kaithi in which Dilli said to Inspector Bijoy after getting his daughter that he does not need the gold earrings anymore for his daughter as he already got his daughter. He requested inspector Bijoy to take the earrings for his daughter instead. This one scene is better than the whole movie Vikram. Emotions don't come from familial bonds. It is best when you express it through strangers. This is Kamal Hasan fanboy movie made exclusively for the Kamal Hasan fans. Nothing else. Waste of Vijay sethupathy and Fahadh Fasil. The character of Vikram should not be revealed on interval points and his character must have to be an utter stranger and greyish tone. Disappointed. If the content does not engage me intellectually and emotionally then I cannot enjoy the action sequences. I hope next time Lokesh comes with better script.

Outstanding
2 June 2022
This is the movie we deserve. What a film. This film has blown my mind. The university politics and oppression against the Dalits is true. It is happening all over India. This is abominable. The film critically shows how we see any incident through media. I remember one brilliant quote from Denzel Washington: "if you don't read newspaper you're uninformed, if you read newspaper you're misinformed". And what a brilliant performances from both Prithviraj and Suraj. Well done. Inquilab Zindabad.

Saiju kurup shines in this thriller
3 May 2022
I really enjoyed this movie. It is a thriller. So not much to reveal. Though this movie brings few characters and stories which ultimately does not serve any purpose to the whole movie. I don't have any idea why those things are here.but otherwise the plot line related to Saiju's family hold firm and lead to the climax. I really enjoyed the background score and eerie sequences, thanks to spectacular cinematography.

Alia's best performance
27 April 2022
Bhansali's fictional portrayal of kamathipura brothel is a treat to watch. Alia literally bear this movie with her powerful performance. I also loved the ultimate statement of the movie- prostitution is like any other profession. Girls are forcibly sold and come to this profession. This is also a most feminist movie of Bhansali. In few scenes the consent of the protagonist is shown with great finesse.

Guilty Minds (2022– )

Prime video is back again after Mumbai Diaries
25 April 2022
This is one of the best courtroom drama shows that i have ever seen. The performances of the the whole team is outstanding. At one scene two of the protagonists discussing a case and male counterpart says that there is nothing like white and black outright. There are Greys. This very well sets the mood of the series. I really enjoyed this show.

A masterpiece
18 April 2022
I cannot stop praising the rich talent powerhouse in Malayalam movies. I am in love with the Malayalam film industry. They are best in India. At the end of film i felt the pain of the oppressed section of the society. This is very painful. They are also human. How govt. Illegetimately take away everything from this people. I have one suggestion to the Malayalam filmmakers . Please dub your movies at least in Hindi. Because ordinary people are not used to watch movies with subtitles. It will be better if they dub their movies at least in hindi. I am a movie buff so i don't have any problem . I watch movies mainly in foreign languages but ordinary people don't watch movies without Hindi dubbing. They don't have the habit of watching movies with subtitles. More people can watch this and become aware of the richness of Malayalam industry.

Rocket Boys (2022– )

Rocket Show
9 February 2022
This is the most authentic and engaging show i have ever seen in india. It is based on two towering figures in Indian history. But the screenplay never treats them with flawless legendary cardboard pieces. Instead it humanises these two personas with shortcomings. The screenplay blends fiction and fact with utmost sincerity,keeping the relevant facts even today. The performances are top notch. I remember mostly Dibyendu bhattacharya. He is terrific. But others are also brilliant. The production design is awesome.

Original Indian Superhero

This is the movie I have been waiting for many days. This is amazing. It won the audiences' heart because it is culturally and ethnically rooted in Indian milleu. Wonderful performances from the whole team. Want a sequel soon.

Brilliant movie about the Genesis of Filmmaking in India
24 July 2021
After a long time I saw a Bengali movie which I can say is outstanding in every department. It is the story of a first filmmaker of India. Not only that the film explores the conflict among producer,director and distributor. The true artists only live in their art, they don't understand any more than that. This is a wonderful movie. What a performances not only from the lead but also from the entire supporting casts.

Worthy successor to Newton
19 June 2021
This film addresses so much issues but feels so engaging. This film is layered. It addresses gender issue,politics,social,economical,environmental and cultural. It also breaks the idea of ferocious entity with that of animal. Human being especially males belong to that category. Supremacy creates abuse of power. Having said that the film does not feel heavy at all, thanks to the brilliant performances from Brijendra, Vidya, Vijay and others. The screenplay is apt. Cinematography is also good. It would have been better if they released it in full aspect ratio without the borders. The experience would have been much immersive. Great movie. At the end of the movie you will feel discomfort at the current situation in India. Great movie.

Photograph (I) (2019)

Wonderful movie
11 May 2019
It is as refreshing as Ritesh Batra's first movie Lunchbox. Splendid performances from Sanya,Nawaz and the grandmother. Cinematography is excellent. There are some subtle moments in the film which are cleverly shot. This is unconventional.
