Naanera (2022)
8/10
A Watchable Movie
18 December 2022
The source and purpose of some films is to make the society familiar with the hidden truth of family relationships through the medium of story.

Exactly the same, Director Deepankar Prakash has successfully shown through his film Naanera.

Dipankar Prakash has directed the film very simply and naturally, to bring the truth of the story to the audience.

Combining some of the best visuals to make the story interesting, the cadence of the story is able to keep the audience engaged.

Looking at the traditional culture, the director has shot the scene references very closely and has done detailing of each and every parts of the scene minutely.

The music side of the film is folk and traditional. The background score has become very classy. Cinematography, editing of the film is very impressive.

The story side of the film is very important, strong and truthful, which the director has very well ridden with his direction.

Direction is at its finest.

In short it is a remarkable film with its own genre.

A Watchable Movie. One Should have watch this MOVIE.

Dostojee (2021)
5/10
Good Movie
1 December 2022
The house of both friends Muslim Saifqul and Hindu Palash is right on the border. Both call each other as "Dostoji". Their daily routine is going to school together, laughing, playing, jumping etc. Both are happy with most of the habits and dimensions of childhood. Both of them have a cordial relationship in their families From the beginning till the first half, the story is in its continuous pace. But the second half of the film, that is, after the death of Palash , the story has moved from its reality to a skewed pace.

The demolition of the mosque took place, in December, when the weather is cold while the scene outside the shop shows rain when the news of Babri Masjid demolition is heard on the radio, at a tea shop. Lack of pace in film.

Hawa (II) (2022)
8/10
Watchable Excellance
30 October 2022
Minutes after the beginning of the story, the fishermen are seen on Chan Majhi's boat .

Just the whole story begins with this boat and the fishermen. The story of Chan Mazhi, a fishermen whose boat is cursed by his own evil deeds.

A fairy tale begins when a beautiful unconscious girl gets caught in a net thrown for fish and sets off on a boat. Slowly the life of the fishermen aboard the boat starts coming in danger and the main reason for this is Chan Majhi who himself does not know the reason and tells the reason for the happenings to the rest of the fishermen as black magic. Eventually all the fishermen are killed one by one including Chan Majhi (Chanchal Choudhary).

All the actors have acted naturally in this film. Chanchal Choudhary's acting is commendable. The scenes in the film seem a bit lengthy at a couple of places but are not boring.

Cinematography, back ground score, editing, Vfx, lighting, while helping to strengthen the film, give life to the film. The songs and situational music of the film is very good, which lifts the film.

Director Mejbaur Rahman Sumon has shown his ability well through his film " Hawa (2022)" . The film "Hawa" looks at its peak due to directorial intelligence.

In conclusion, overall "Hawa" is a film worth watching.

A Brave, Bold and Positive Film
29 August 2022
It's not only, a story of a Tribal school teacher charged for denying to teach the concept of Genesis from the Holy Bible and teaches Charles Darwin's theory to the Student and for that reason, he has been given imprisonment without any privilege of trial as well as due to the conspiracy by local Politicians he has been made scapegoat to strengthen their vote bank with the help of School Authorities, but it's a story of all educated Persons Who wants to acquaint the coming generation with the difference between mythological myths and scientifically proven truth by breaking the political trap.

In my opinion, nothing bad is noticed except few ending scenes which was to be edited. But still the movie is compact.

Story : A Holy Conspiracy, is the story of a Tribal School Teacher who, in the future chooses science among, spiritual beliefs and science. He wants to teach it to his class students. Despite being a tribal, his father converted to Christianity so that his son could study and educate his tribe accordingly.

When he denies to teach Genesis from the Holy Bible and put science over it by teaching Charles Darwin's theory, he has been beaten along with his other colleagues by unknown outsiders and put only to him directly in to the Jail without the privilege of a trial in the court and made him Guilty through a conspiracy under political influences and authorities of the said school. The case is filed in the court. He has been asked by Judge whether you are guilty or not guilty. He replied "not guilty". Soon the trail for the court's decision begins.

One side Anton D'Souza and the other side Basant Kumar Chatterjee argue on the for and against points in respect of charged framed against the Tribal Teacher . Fight/argue begain between the truth and myth beliefs, the viewers remain in a dilemma as to which side they are? Whether on the side of the plaintiff's lawyer or the defendant's lawyer. Advocate Anton D'Souza (Nassiruddin) says The right to think is on trial. Opposition argues, No, a man is on trial. Anton shouts, He is a thinking man.

The director is trying to send a message through this film that whether we should keep silent by accepting the debate going on around us, in our phone, in the newspaper, or on TV, that we are living the life of bigotry in different ways and are only following religious beliefs Or else the truth of science should be accepted so that the future of the coming generation can be educated? . If you see yourself in the ongoing debate in the trial court. Does this make you uncomfortable? Is there any difference between you and what you call a fanatic? The director has built a story around this thought in his writing without creating a villain, he makes both side fight powerful . But he also educates the point that only the person who is always out of your sight benefits.

Actor's Performance : All the actors are performed well. The director's character concept has been fully lived, due to which the dynamics of the film remains and keeps the audience engaged till 143 Minutes (approx. Running time of the film) .

Directional : The director is able to convey the story and essence of the film to the audience through the cast, cinematography , Music, back ground sound effects etc . He didn't give a chance to think anything out of the box and kept it around the story and message of the film. Got to see a strong direction.

Every one must see this film. That's all.

"Humanity is the only religion "
28 August 2022
A few lines about movie "Lokkhi chele"

#Public Craze: Despite heavy rains, the film was houseful on Saturday (27-08-2022) . This shows how much love people have for director Sri Kaushik Ganguly and his film.

#What's good: This is a film with a message, the Children who are not twins but some part of their twin comes in to them from the time of birth, rather they do not have a body like normal children, but become four arms Which may also a threat to their lives if they are not normal. By the way, the awareness, among the public and parents towards such children, inspires to cure them by operation either or medical treatment and not calling her / him a God or Goddess by making them a means of earning on threat of a some cunning and cleaver people of the society.

#What's Bad : To save the life of the girl and for medical treatment, the mother of the girl is handing over the girl to the three junior doctors and turns back to her house . There an FIR is lodged in the local police station of that locality as It is a serious crime/offence while the mother of the child herself declares that the child has gone missing. Though the investigation as well as search of the missing Lokhhi is not shown visually by the Police Administration which is necessary , but of course in verse it is stated.

#Story of the film :

Amir (Ujjan Ganguly) with his two Junior Doctors and one reporter friend visit the village where a Girl Child with four arms has made famous as Goddess and Worshiped due to her Abnormal physique with some extra parts of the body. When Amir advised to touch her feet for blessings, he feels and notices, she has fever around 101 or 102. Exactly on that point, a touch of an angle, forces him to think about the girl involuntarily . He tells the fact to the rest of his friends that if such being the condition, then it is dangerous and may tends to death if she is not treated Properly. They stay their and come to know that one powerful person named Rajat Roy (Indrashish Riy) of that locality taking advantage of the abnormal body of that child and uses her for his personal earnings by making belief in the villagers that that female child is incarnation of Goddess.

After that all the three junior doctors including reporters together, especially Aamir , through his acquaintance Doctor Mitali (Churni Ganguly) and other associates , what circumstances he faces in making that child girl look and live like a normal child, it is necessary to watch the film. You will get at the end, the humanity is the only religion ofcourse undefeated and powerful which stands over any religion.

#What Actors Score :

The three junior doctor Including Amir (Ujjan Ganguly) and Reporter have been presented in natural way . In fact they can be noticed that they are acting their Characters lively. The Grandfather (Prabir Bhattacharya, a fine actor) of the Child Girl , her mother, father are completely Honest with their characters . Rest of actors also acted very well and seen to be supportive to the film with their Natural Appearance.

#Direction : Since the film is a directorial media, therefore what the director wants to show and the way he wants to show it, the audience is equally visible. Although there can be many ways to show the essence of the said film, but how important it is for your audience to understand is entirely up to the director. KAUSHIK GANGULI Sir is expert in this and he exactly did with this film .

#Lastly, after the end of the Show Producers (Shibo Prasad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy), Director & Writer (Kaushik Ganfuly) and Casts are seen in happy mood. Producers addressed the audiences and say directly their words to the Audiences. Director Kaushik Ganguly ofcourse was pleased to see the houseful audiences. Kaushik Ganguly, in the mean time when addressing the Audiences, become centimental towards launching his son Ujjan Ganguly thru this film .

Dharmajuddha (2022)
5/10
A weak presentation of the issue of a Positive Story.
20 August 2022
This is a film based on the current political situation in ghe name of Dharma , which participate in instigating the riots.

Story - Due to a riot that broke out in a small village Islampur, four persons (two women and two men) took shelter to safeguard themselves from Riot. They enter one by one in the House of an old Women. Out of four, one male and one female are Hindu and another are Muslim. They share their old memories regarding Hindu and Muslim relationship in the village and how sudden, the behavior of both religion's people change due to political infiltration which turns into a riot. It's a one night story.

Unfortunately, the film's direction is flexible, with weak cinematography and music.

Four flash backs have been used very weakly in the film.

On the whole, It can be said that the film has no powerful impact on the Audiences inspite of good acting by almost Characters and Good Content .

Unfortunately, the film's direction is flexible, with weak cinematography and music.

Thoughtful and Powerful True Story.
22 March 2022
A Powerful True Story "The Kashmir Files" by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri.

A simple story is about to make as Documentary film of a file/Incidents of the happenings and treatment with Kashmiri Pandits by the Militants, where Government never kept watch over or Government and/or Suppressed the fact for some reasons and Facts have never been brought forward to the Public, But Subsequently changes its format as film.

Director of this film may describe on this point. I can say only about watching experiences.

Assembling and linking of the incidents occurred in Kashmir have brillientely been directed by the Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (Director) with its originality of Kashmiri Pandit's story .

Some sequences and frames are really appreciable but required to be more impactful in respect of Cinematic and VFX point of view.

So Cinematography of this film can not be termed as good with a few exception.

The best part of the film is Acting especially Anupam Kher and Darshan Kumaar. In few sequences, camera's shaking are experienced which are Noticeable.

Music /back Ground Score is Marvellous. The finest score goes to screenplay and story's content which has been brilliantly put before the audiences to understand the story easely and without pressure on mind .

Overall feelings of the visual of this film is sentimental and aggressive with cruelty.

A new Chapter for the Students is opened through this film to understand the facts of their own experience and not by what is taught or narrated by the people who have wrong motives. Director has shown this fact thru Krishna Pandit (Darshan Kumaar) who becomes confused due to two narratives of the fact.

Of course it's a middle budget film, But due it's Original story telling excellence and style to justify the contents of Kashmir as well as incidents which are Unknown to most of the Public. , the film will be more and more successful among the Public.

To know the original facts and reason regarding the torturing and killing of the Kashmiri Pandit as well as how the new chapter opens , I recommend to watch this movie.

Title Suryavanshi not justified properly.
11 November 2021
Though Box office collections have Crossed 150 Crores, but factually this film is lacking, a class Cinematography , Actions, framing Scenes, even Content etc. Action moods of the Characters which are more important for a film are not proper and lacking feelings . Rohit Shetty , the director, himself faces to create powerful action.

In one line, for success of this film, credit goes only in the name and fame of a successful director Rohit Shetty , Akshay Kumar, an Actor and so on... Story telling has not been that much effective .

Preposterous Movie
1 November 2021
Being a Film maker, I used to watch the film of every test.

I don't like the entire concept of the Movie. In my opinion, Production House didn't pay any heed to the content, Making of this film.

The director even didn't care about the Cinematography, Music and Sequences of course where to put the Songs and Why ?

Acting part is very poor.

Why such type of meaningless film has been produced and financed ? If so, I'm afraid of the Industry belong to this movie may be in Problem.

IMMACULATE SPIRIT IN THIS MOVIE ATTRACTS CINE LOVERS AND AUDIENCES .
7 November 2020
A crowed funded movie has been brilliantly Directed by Ujjwal Basu , considering and obeying the rules of film making, endowed with the special quality of cinema. The Director with Cinematographer/DOP has Justified each scene with precise manner and proper timing of shots due to which some emblematic aspects of the movie emerge and reach to the Audiences. ->A movie is about a sweet strong belief and imagination of a child who do not speak the words clearly but not dumb. One day child GAUR , the central character of the movie, with her two elder sisters enjoys the pithe(Rice Cake) served by his mother. One of the Pithas (Rice cakes) , he plants/sows in earth with hope that one day it will grow big and transformed in to tree which is his an imagination & strong belief. He also hears and confirms his imagination from his Grandma's that in "KASHI ", there are so many trees of DOODH PITHER GACCH (Rice cakes) where she is going and he rushes in to the train from the village to that city in search of the said trees to satisfy his imagination....... -> In my opinion, this film has a poetic effect about imagination with spiritual essence of a seven years old child which each and Every child imagines in their childhood. -> Every director wants to say something thru his movie. Thru this movie, Director Ujjwal Basu reaches to the people and wants to say that a living style of the people in villages are still simple which separate the villages from the city's crowd where kids dream to fulfil their incredible imagination in free environment. -> Fascinated by this cinema, the audiences of Urban /City people may feel and enjoy the cool and simplicity of village with poetic and cinematic effects of the movie. -> Cinematography, Editing, Music, mise in scene, some eye candy camera moves have made this movie remarkable. -> Acting part of this movie is Natural. -> Overall, this is the fittest movie to witness and enjoy. ABOVE all this movie is an effort of the Villagers who are also a part of this movie. Congratulations to the team and Especially to Director and DOP of this movie..

A Meaningless Movie.
18 October 2020
Nandan-1 Opened on 17th October, 2020 for Public Show with one of Inaugural Day Movies "DWITIYO PURUSH" (Released Earlier) after a long Seven Months of lock down due to Covid-19. A commendable steps have taken by Nandan Authorities by maintaining the safety norms of Covid-19 such as Full body sanitisation before entry in main hall, seats Distance gap etc. We (I and my friend) as viewers witnessed the Movie. There were only 16 persons(male&female) watching including us. As a Story Writer, I personally couldn't find #ImpressiveStory. As a director, I can say, Director's effort seen but unfortunately, is not up to the mark. As a film Maker, I couldn't find motive of making such type of movie. I find acting of only one appropriate Actor i. e Kamleshwar Sir. Rest were maintaining only the Director's concept concerning to their roles. As an Audience, I honestly say that I couldn't find the Reason for presence of some of the Characters portrayed by ABIR CHATTERJEE and Ridhima Ghosh. On the whole we were bored. I feel Sorry Srijit Mukherjee Sir regarding this Movie.

"Robibar" directed by Atanu Ghosh.
3 January 2020
This film is about love between a couple. Sayani detached her connection from Asimabha about fifteen years back due to his bad activities (forgery, lie etc). Sayani is a Law officer under a Corporate Firm.The concept of Movie, "A Robibar(Sunday) changes the two lives when they meet" . Asimabha (Prasenjit Chatterjee) has performed dark character prominently and efficiently which shows his Acting ability. Jaya Ahsan (Sayani) supported to boost up Asimabha's Character and each frame of the film become effective and lively. Music by Debjyoti Mishra is very nice which gives positive balance to the movie to form a poetic love. This film may move towards success (if so) only due to balanced Acting by the two Jaya Ahsan, Prosenjit Chatterjee and Debjyoti Mishra(Music) . Movie has become slight lengthy require edit. There is drawback in storyline in regards to message.

A Powerful Emotional Story
2 June 2019
An untouched realistic unfold truth Story. Shiboprasad Sir has a Master piece sense of Acting Direction etc. Actress Jaya Ahsan has acted lively and made her character immortal. She has, no doubt, ability to adapt as well as live the characters. Shiboprasad has given his best. Pioli Dam is as usual wife. This movie impressed me in every aspects. Being an Actor, I wish to act with Jaya Ahsan and shiboprasad Sir if I get chance and considered in a character.
