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.

This is one of those movies that clearly demonstrates how much the quality of Bengali movies have fallen over the years.

There's barely 30mins of story and that's not even uniformly spread out. The movie started as fast paced, and soon they ran out of story then the whole movie started dragging.

But there's a limit to how much you can drag without a story. So I guess the director gathered a team to brainstorm on what else can they do to lengthen the duration to 2 hours. Soon after the initial 45 minutes the movie changed into a sort of a tour guide of the historic places of Chandannagar. That went on for some time.

Once they ran out of the tourist spots, the movie started to become even more dragging. The director seemed absolutely clueless on how to spend the time.

And even if you somehow manage to drag on hoping for a climactic end, be warned, there is none.

So don't make the same mistake I did. Don't waste your time.

Bengali directors keep complaining that Tollywood is dying because the people don't support regional movies anymore, but that's absolutely not true. Directors like this the ones dragging the industry down.

Worst script. Music album is very good..but movie is very bad.

I watched this movie assuming that this director wouldn't do a substandard film...but this movie proves me wrong starting from the story, direction to acting everything is awful except cinematography.

From the starting it was enjoyable. Susmita, Soumya, Sweta's acting was really good. But the story lost its way later on. Looks like scriptwritter some how did not manage to think about how to end the story. However, specially Susmita keep audience attracted by her lovely acting and sweet smile. Though, thr stoty seems unfinished but yet enjoyed it. Happy Watching.

Super Movie. If ending were good it can make some difference.

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?
