Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbona

No.. unlike the previous reviewer, I did not hate the lead actress, Parno. I think she looked cute, had the necessary vulnerability as well as the necessary attitude of the present generation. I loved Usashi. She looked sexy as hell, in her spectacles and wry smile. I loved all the 50+ rock musicians, especially Lew Hilt. And of course, I loved Anjan's self-portrayal of an aging, talented musician,with a multi-layered personality. What I did not like was the sad ending.. I mean.. I did not want to see anyone dying in this heart-warming film. Of course, the final scene was masterful and added to the pathos of the movie. The songs made me nostalgic and warm. The film is definitely a masterpiece. Not for the crowds, but for a mature audience, which can appreciate good music, good emoting and a plot which is as close to reality as can be.

Though I hated the lead actress but this movie was every bit that I had expected it to be, a trip through a great man's mind, one of my childhood inspirations, Mr. Anjan Dutta. He may have been an influenced person, heavily influenced rather, but his vision behind his lyrics is what he shall always be remembered for, that is making Dylan, Lennon, Denver, Elvis and Sophia Lauren household names in the Bengali middle class. The jamming sequences in this movie are simply great, and I was moved to tears a few times since I was so moved by the dialogs, anybody who has ever believed in Anjan Dutta or Suman Chattopadhyay (the two stalwarts of realism in Bengali music) will definitely react in a similar way.

That's why he called legend...! I've watched this movie several times and every time it's just keeps me into it...! Mostly all the dialogue's are from another world...! "Salute Boss"
