Lokkhi Chele (An Angel's Kiss)

Kaushik Ganguly constructs drama like no other,and his latest release which announces his comeback as director after three years is not an exception. An audacious social commentary,powerful and truly gut-wrenching,the film addresses volatile religious dogmatism,racism ,exploitation in the name of religion compellingly. Ujaan Ganguly in his second film as an actor gives a incendiary performance,he truly inhibits his role like his skin. A passionate performance from the whole cast lifts the film to another level. The casting was tailor made for the roles. The competent script also balances well with the other aspects of the film,it evokes tension,emotion whenever required in the film. There are some believability issues in the film in the second half,as it indulges in monologues and coincidences which might seem far fetched. But the acting department has eclipsed those defects,the cast has made everything look believable .The camera work deserves special mention too,it minutely reflects each and every nuances in the film. We realize the dark world of superstition which could be viciously vindictive if shaken when we leave the hall. Kaushik Ganguly has given another thought inducing film in his career.

Movie is average with story,editing and story even could be better...Few areas are highly unrealistic and over streched.... Many sections could be edited in a better way.. The overall composition is good compared to other Bengali movies..The social life and superstition of rural Bengal is well established.. Characters have done average acting..Even to be very honest there was minimum scope of good acting, Few events that are shown in the film is highly unrealistic and could be handled in much better way...music composition and placement as well as camera rolling were good...Location of shooting is good.

Very few people see this kind of picture...I saw it myself today after 2 years....really don't know what to say :)..maybe we are minority people who see such picture..but please make it for people like us.. .It makes me happy to see this kind of work.....If you make a film like this, people will stand by it for sure...no one has to tell you to stand by Bengali film!!! There is not a bad dialogue...no too much cheap nakamo..Acting is clear..No too much idle pomp..thank you thank you...and let the work be great..."Let humanity be the greatest religion"!!

All the best for upcoming Koushik Ganguly's film.. really admire you work!!

Just fantastic!! One of its kind and Kaushik da's magic.. Must Watch!! Everyone should hit the theatre to watch it ayleast once.. it explores the superstitions prevailing in villages and sometimes in town as well and used in the name of religion to harness money and how its reality in medical terms... A concept never bought up before the audience!!!!!!!! Great one.....

Everyone should watch it, be it for the performances, story or message. It is top notch on all these aspects. And the performance of Ujan Ganguly in the last scene of the film is beyond explanation.. A beautiful narration and message.

So Lokkhi Chhele.... Firstly,this brought out the amazing and super talented actor in Ambarish Bhattacharya. What an acting!

And Ujaan Ganguly,whose eyes resemble Churni's,way of talking resembles her,while attitude resembles Kaushik Ganguly!

This indeed,would have been possible in Kolkata, in Bengal!

From the very beginning,the film kept us stuck to our seats,excited and waiting for the immediate next scene to flash to know how the story progresses ahaid.

Half an hour to the movie's end,and the movie could have been given a Bollywood style ending with the audience happy enough to go back home and recommend it to others,but,the director focused and emphasised on the story,the reality and thus made the last 30 minutes of the movie unbearably sad and thought-provoking for us.

I couldn't practically hold my tears in the last few minutes of the movie,and probably that's what masterpieces are like.

A movie worth the highest rating,and overall,a movie worth a trillion watch,in every remote village of India,every maternity care nursing home.

It's a moment of pride to say that we belong to a generation of stars like Kaushik Ganguly, Churni Ganguly,Ujaan Ganguly,Ambarish Bhattacharya and Babul Supriyo.

And,who else could have been a better producer than the most social and benevolent Nandita-Shiboprosad.

An ode to acting,cinema,humanity!
