No Bed of Roses

A poorly scripted, poorly crafted, poorly composed with huge pretention of an art film dating to last century. Some interesting architecture and beautiful outdoor locale relieved the tedium. Irfan is wasted in this Indo- Bangladesh production a year ahead of falling seriously ill.

The poster boy of our Bangladeshi cinema Mostofa Sarwar Farooki was my idol,thought he was the guy who will bring revolution to cinema and give our cinema a new language and set a benchmark that young film makers will follow.But seeing his last couple of films i think our industry has to wait a bit longer to find a trendsetter.Now coming to the film i must say farooki outdone himself in this movie.he is like in a competition with himself how to make the worst movie than the previous one.He had the opportunity to make an epic movie at least a decent one as the story of the film revolves around famous writer in Bangladesh and people were hyped about it.Then he had this ridiculous idea to cast an indo international star who can barely speak bangla but portrays a bengali film director.Tried to tell the story in non linear way but failed miserably.The film didn't gave me any emotional attachment to the characters and i felt the film was very shallow.I dont mind watching slow paced cinema or if its over 3 hours as long it holds the attention but irfans acting with farookis trademark tacky camera movement the film become intolerable.The film should be called Doob:102 mints of DISAPPOINTMENT .At least the title will give a heads up to the people.

I was really waited for this movie for a long time.But its really a disappointment. There is no story and its very very slow. If u have insomnia then try it. I think you'll be benefited.The acting was good and also the cinematography. But it had no story-line. Like a living man without a purpose. Save your money and save you valuable time.

This is kind a hyped movie.but when i saw,its story is too average. It's good but not that much. It Didn't fulfil my expectations.

"By going far away, we become closer to ourselves." A married filmmaker divorces his wife of 15-20 years and remarries a girl half his age, his daughter's classmate!!!! A taboo!!!. Irfan Khan gives one of the best performances of his career. Trisha as his daughter is brilliant as she depicts many shades of emotions flawlessly. Rest of the cast deliver convincing performances. A run-of-the-mill storyline but some of the aesthetics of the movie are well designed and executed and that lift the movie from a midpoint . A great watch! It was a Bangladesh entry for the Best Foreign Language film at 91st Academy Awards.
