Shah Jahan Regency

I can't fathom how such a deep and efficiently executed movie can attract only 6.5 out of 10. Grow up people, think how craftily the creators stitched the lives of all those sad souls. I have not watched Chouragee, so can't really compare, but, to me it was a 2.5 hours of soulful storytelling.

The movie is an expression of human emotion on the basis of four different stories but in the same platform.The director has successfully created a virtual yet realistic world(hotel) through which the characters potray the abstract truth of love, emotion and romanticism. Apart from Abir Chatterjee all of the crew members have done a fantastic job. Parambrata Chatterjee has been outstanding throughout the film. He even outclasses a dignifed actor like Anirban Chatterjee in certain scenes and last but not the least Srijit has discovered Swastika Mukherjee in a new way. Her screen presence, acting, dialogue delivery outclasses all. It's beyond 'outstanding', beyond any comments. 9/10

I liked it, dint expect anything extraordinary! But the movie managed to keep me engaged for 2 N half hours....

Bad movie. Very poor storyline. He just destroyed a wonderful story with unnecessary dialogues. Most of the renouned actors-actresses has done over acting. So poor direction I say.

It is the second movie adaptation of the famous novel Chowringhee (1962) by Mani Shankar Mukherjee. The first movie adaptation was also titled Chowringhee (1968).

Shot beautifully in relatively dim light, befitting the interiors of a posh and iconic city hotel, the movie covers all the nooks and corners of a hotel named 'Shah Jahan Regency' and different aspects of the lives of the people connected with it, starting from it's owners, to it's staff, to it's patrons and visitors.

Subtly paced, the movie gives a well etched view of life in modern day Kolkata, all inclusive of it's beauty, ugliness and irony.

It's a one of a kind movie that will keep you glued to the screen and leave you with a faint streak of dismay, establishing the fact that all that glitters is not gold and nothing in this life can be taken for granted.
