Meghnadbodh Rohoshyo (2017)
Intellectual Hogwash
The first part of the movie is full of intellectual beings (read antels). Too many characters are there, many of them just to stretch the movie to a little over 2 hrs! The real story doesn't even begin before 1.5 hrs. At that the story should have finished in 30 mins tops.
It's very slow paced. The story never really builds up. They tried to show a lot of things but touched only the surface with incoherent incidents strewn over. The writer Asimav Bose is a rip-off of 'Amitav Ghosh' and his book 'The Calcutta Chromosome' is christened as 'The Calcutta Chemical'
The only thing I liked about this movie was the interiors of the writer's house!
Give it a miss if you are sick of slow paced antel movies.
Chupkotha - Hoichoi Original Film (2018)
Well spun out
With Chupkotha, Bengali movie enters into the elite list amongst horror movie genre. Be it the cinematography, the location, the crisp storyline and good acting and direction.
The storyline starts with the discovery of a mentally ill couple hiding out in their own house. We come to know that they have mysteriously lost their daughter in the hills of Kurseong near 'Gomes house', whose owner is missing for past 20 years. From then on the movie takes up supernatural vibes, with a phone that recieves messages and calls without having a sim, an abandoned house where sometimes lights can be seen and children's cry can be heard.
The overall atmosphere is of mystery and suspense. A must watch for horror movie buffs.
