Bangla cinema doesn't seem to have any other plot apart from tearing family relationships! Great acting but why portray the lame old stories of son living abroad/ going abroad and parents lamenting!

Set in Shantiniketan and Kolkata, it is a roller coaster ride of the emotions of a grandfather who wants good care of his grandchild. A directorial treat, brilliantly acted and awesome cinematography.

Unfortunately this is the worst work by the director duo who'd been rechristened Shibu-Nandita by the vernacular media . I somehow find this movie extremely anti women,archaic and feudal . This movie jabs against working women and demeans men as spineless who take money from their wives or "dances to their wife's tune" . Here are few things that I learnt from the movie 1> If I drink occasionally or socially I can be tagged as an alcoholic or drunkard 2> If a kid loses a friendly scuffle with other boys of his age, then it is the fault of the father for not keeping the kid away from the group of kids of the same age group 3>Drinking alcohol in parties makes a man illegible or not qualified enough to bring up his own child 4>A kid mouthing trash dialog from of some tacky soap opera , is considered cute ,whereas uttering the word "Sh**" is blasphemous 5>The only female character that spoke up against the archaic ,feudal mentality of Dinu Lahiri has been shown in a negative shade . The lawyer spoke the truth & that is Dinu Lahiri's actions and intentions are regressive . 6> Also a child growing up by playing cricket with men who are 10 times his age , develops zero social skills and comes whining to his grandmother when he loses a friendly scuffle to a boy of his age

I feel this movie clearly pits out the hatred against the liberal upbringing and it clearly humiliates working mothers . Though the acting was good but somehow it lacks a good story-line and comes with a horrendous script as well .

After Watching Belasheshe and Prakton, I being a great fan of Nandita Roy & Shibprashad Mukherjee. I really expected from Posto and my expectations are fulfilled. This film is about a family where Father, Son and his Grandson is in main attraction. You can learn many solution of family problems by seeing this movie. It has to mention that Film Makers have to some extra-ordinary vision like Nandita Roy & Shibprashad Mukherjee. Thanks a lot.

Every Nandita-Shiboprasad film has the same problem. The content is really good. They really do their research and make films on really good topics. However, in every film of theirs, they completely mess up the execution. They are so focused on making a family-friendly 'happy-ending' sort of a film, that they completely miss out on making their films more realistic and humane. Every film of theirs lacks polish, subtlety and the touch of a good filmmaker. However, in this film, even some of the content was rather stupid. There are various plot holes, and some of the characters were busy doing jatra (melodrama) rather than actually act. This was a very disappointing film, in spite of a really good cast (except one or two absolutely terrible actors).
