Forget Me Not

Credits to Ali fazal and half the other actors. The actress portraying his wife wasn't convincing. There are some lapses which you will notice. And more when you watch it the second time. I watched it twice because my gf hadn't watched it yet. Would had been great had the writers tried not to emphasise so much on Ipsit losing his memory. Some incidences don't quite make sense. You'll get it once you've watched the whole episode. Still good tho. Left a heavy feeling after watching.

First of all, Ali Fazal's acting is really amazing in this, he carries the whole episode. Also, the cinematography is top notch. Positives end here.

This episode suffers mostly from pacing issues. It drags on and on, screenplay is underwhelming compared to original writing, unnecessarily complicated at times. Direction is pretty average. It could have gained much from having losing 20 mins and tight writing.

The first thing that I noticed in this film is what a fine young actor this Ali Fazal is. He has polished himself so well in the last few years, he should be talked about like other actors of his age, but unfortunately that is not the case. His popularity is nowhere close to actors like Ranbir, Ranveer or even non-actors like Kartik Aryan and Varun Dhawan. The movie starts of in a very stylized manner and moves along at a pretty good pace, but then it slows down and becomes confused as to where to go next, and how to proceed further, just like the lead character of the film. After a while you start wondering as to why is this story taking so long to reach its conclusion. The actual story by Satyajit Ray is quite short and simple, this film on the other hand added quite a few layers to the original story. I just feel the director waited way too long to unravel the story. Great acting by Ali Fazal, he is very convincing displaying every single state of mind Ipsit Nair goes through. Other actors have done a fine job, but the story doesn't offer them a lot to do. 'Forget Me Not' is strictly average.

Well written well executed.. Good casting decent performances..

Cinematography is breathe taking. Direction and screen play is average...
