Watched such a soothing movie after a long time. Kinda movie, that brings tear in one's eyes, that leaves a soothing touch in one's mind- in one word made my weekend.
I was browsing in Hoichoi for a weekend watch. Found this movie under the 'Unconventional dramas' section. Saw Rahul Bose, one of my favorites, never disappoints me with his role play and good choice in movie, in the starred list. Also Mithun Chakraborty starred in the movie. What a father-son duo in cinema.
The movie starts with a tune of a flute, which comes over throughout the movie on multiple instances, and your heart aches for the tune, it blends perfectly with the sadness, innocence of the story and aches your heart without any reason. Shumonto, the son, is adult now. Father of two children. He has grown himself into an exceptional type. A calm, out of the wind type man. His father tries to reconnect with him after a long gap between their lives. Both men, passing their adulthood, share their common grounds and memories they preserved with much adoration.
The story was exceptional. It was not a one sided tale. Not a decisive one too. It simply shows life as it is. Didn't feel I was watching a drama, it felt like observing a great art. Felt I was roaming in Bohrompur, the vast greeneries, a car in a muddy road passing by me. Felt the tune of flute touching my every inch of skin. The Bengali home with their elegant vintage furniture, the first light of morning falling on the greenery of Bengal, 'jatradol' dancing in their costumes- were so captivating throughout the whole film. They had no dialogue, but cut them out, the art would be missing some vital parts.
This one is gonna be worth your time if you are a Bangla movie amateur. Serve yourself a cup of tea and enjoy, say bye to the busy, concrete life for 2 hours...
