Baishe Srabon (2011)
Just one word..MAGNIFICENT
With a watched movie list of around 1800, I sure nowadays can guess a crime thriller within half-time. But I was in for a shock. Or should I say pleasant surprise. Bengali movie is surely being resurrected. Every now and then, you will find a movie that's at par with national standards, if not international. The songs are outstanding, each one surpassing the previous, and aptly, the final end credits song, i.e., Gobheerey jao is the best. Now comes the best part. Am a die-hard Al Pacino fan. A few minutes back, I had a debate with a friend, who has not yet watched the movie. I just said, "It's pointless not giving credit to an actor just because he's Bengali. This performance is surely up there in my rating books beside Pacino's Colonel of Scent of a Woman." Dialogues of this movie are a class apart, with extraordinary subtle power, punched with dry sarcastic humor. Download, buy, go to theaters, do what you can, but take this from a guy who regularly watches Akira Kurosawa, Chris Nolan and sundry, you will regret watching a class act if you don't watch it.

Crappy Copy
Would've rated the movie around 5/6 had I not known that this is a scene by scene copy of an Allu Arjun starer Telugu movie named Parugu. Don't know what's wrong with Bengali movies. Most of the main-stream movies are being copied from Telugu movies. Few days back, watched another movie which was an exact copy of another Telugu blockbuster, Bommarillu. Songs are OK. But I would like to remind these people that there's a thing called 'continuity' in movies. Apart from a few flicks like Autograph and sundry, while watching most of the Bengali movies of modern times, I feel like am jumping scenes. Horrible!! I request the directors to kindly improve their quality of film-making. As for the story of this movie, kindly search Parugu, and you will know it all.
