I did not quite care for the series because it finally zeroes down on negative moral values that surpass judgement of any kind in the climax. The technical execution is good but too much focus on a single protagonist tends to make it boring, Though it is pegged as a thriller, the thrill is not solved till the end of the series. Why was this guy being blackmailed at all? I am not that intelligent to read between the lines of this very confusing drama

ASAMAPTO translates into "Unfinished" in English. It is a moving comment on the strange manifestations of human interaction between two people belonging to two very different cultural and social worlds. The director takes care not to reduce the relationship between an old man and a young woman to cliché and melodrama at any point.

The cinematography is beautifully lit within the interiors of a small apartment in Calcutta, the music lends itself to the sombre mood of the film. But what truly stands out is the acting by the entire cast. Atanu is a director of great promise indeed as this film has set out to prove.
