Review of Prem Tame

Prem Tame (2021)
5/10
Prem TAME
14 May 2021
The film at least in initial phase had promised to grow into a taut movie on "Love" in different hues and depths. Pablo is like any of typical ' Bengali' boys who fall in love, from class six onwards regularly, with multiple beauties! ( being a probashi bong from Delhi and now living in poschim bangla, can safely say Premtame is the most loved pastime here). It can be cerebral love as well as shallow relationships( as Pablo has with Arshi & Raji). There is no depth in their togetherness. Didn't follow why Raji had to be shown as a PhD student! She as Pablo and Arshi's classmate would have looked more believable. Everything was developing into a cute plot( with Soumyo, Shweta and Sushmita doing their parts well), enters from nowhere Khagen, the canine( wanted to say dog but then the 5-7 or 8" Raji was breathing down my neck- am 5-5"). He is the kabab mei haddi! Very possessive of his mentor Raji. From that point, it became an animal film which kids would enjoy immensely.

Raji is on her own trip- on a quest to discover the unknown? Don't know.

Dénouement is long and it drags. We wish when the film would end. A promising to be plot, was murdered as a bong would put it. Soumyo and Sushmita are good actors, especially the latter. Konkona is wasted as usual. She should concentrate on film making.

By Anindyo's standards it was a TAME affair.
