Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Enjoy Every Moment

To wish is to live and life is all about wishes. But what a paradox!! We leave our desires, our dreams, our wishes in a locked corner of our heart on the pretext of being ‘grown up’, being ‘mature’ waiting for, for, for….what?? The right moment? The stroke of luck? Or the ideal circumstances????

‘Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbo Na’: Major Disappointment

Watched the all new much-hyped Anjan Dutt-movie Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbo Na (official website) with Rajarshi, Saurav and Chandradeep at Priya Cinema this evening. Heard such raving reviews about it but the movie is hardly upto the mark! A good dose of antlami, a generous serving of Anjan’s melodrama and his love for the charm of Kolkata, [...]

No One Killed Jessica: movie true to facts

Kudos to the makers of NOKJ for staying true to the facts mostly. To see the news we have been reading for more than a decade come alive on screen was an experience indeed. The murder of Jessica Lall and the sequence of events that followed, how the influential of the society bought over the [...]

Byomkesh Bakshi – Gripping!

My initial delight at the news of the ressurection of the Byomkesh franchise, decades after Satyajit Ray’s Chiriakhana, was soon fraught with scepticism, for old school detective stories were by no means considered Anjan Dutt’s forte, and it remained to be seen to what effect the self-styled director, known for his comfy factor with themes like Anglo-Indian community or rock music, could revive Byomkesh!

I will leave it for you all to find out on your own, but what I can guarantee is that, watch the movie for its brilliant editing, tight scripting without any scope for a loose thread, excellent acting by everyone and the use of the music in a brilliant sequential fashion.

Goopy And Bagha Are Gone

One part of our childhood to which he had clung so tenaciously finally came to an end when the surviving member of the Goopy Bagha duo, Tapan Chatterji passed away yesterday. He was a professional actor and had acted in many movies, but to our generation he was Goopy Gyne, the failed vocalist who with the help of a boon from the King of the Ghosts, became singer par excellence.
