Prem Tame (2021)
10/10
Bengal's 500DoS or VCB
14 April 2021
Extremely underrated by regular movie-goers in search of stupid old love stories. This movie is the beginning of new-wave bengali rom-com. This is perhaps the first bengali rom-com where the Manic-Pixie-Dream-Girl trope has been given a character of flesh-and-blood like Summer of 500DoS. The backdrop being a Portuguese/Dutch colony of Chandernagore may also be a tribute to Vicky-Christina-Barcelona which matches with the nuances of the central characters in this movie thematically.

And the showstealer? Khogen, the mongrel.

This movie maturely handles the three types of love in Pablo's life. One that is conditional but settling, one that is unbounded but unsettling and one that is unbounded and unconditional .

Are you excited to see how it goes with Pablo?
